Web Of Lies

The judge looked at the drug test, the word negative glaring. He sighed and looked at the Mr. Lee. "Any onjections," he asks. The man sure is stingy with words, Jimin thought.

"No, my Lord," he says. "I'd like to call jimin up for some questions," Mr Kim said. Jimin min stood up and entered the box, took his oath, and then waited for the questions.

"Mr. Park, you claim that my client has been physically abusing for two years now. Do you have any proof of it." He asks.

"The vedio clip was presented in front of everyone," Jimin replied. "It is true that in that video, it appeared you were indeed being bullied by him. But it might be a small fight between you two. You don't appear to have any fear but determination in your eyes, care to share what exactly was it that he said to you."

"It was a long time ago. I can't remember what exactly it was that he said. It was when everything started, so i didn't fear him at that time." He replied.

"Taking your words into account, this happened long ago, does Mr. Park has any proof that it happened again, that also frequently after that one incident," he says.

"No." This was the only proof they had. The case was not in their favour from in first place. The only lead they had was the drug test, which came out negative. No one knew what happened. Even Namjoon was confused.

All the other time he was bullied happened in their dorm. there was no camara's there for idols privacy, so they can't possibly have any other proof.

"My Lord, according to the press conference, they had an internal argument within themselves, for all we know this could have happened because of that conflict." He says.

The judge sighed, "Any objections," he asks Mr Lee, and he shakes his head. Jimin was motioned out of the box to his seat.

"Anyone from the audience has a word regarding this case." His eyes swept across the people in the gallery when he spoke.

It was silent for a while. Before a guy spoke up, he seemed scared to be here as the hand he raised was shaking. He was motioned to stand in the witness box.

Jimin recognised him to be the room serving staff the day he got raped. Everyone was confused, not expecting the change of event.

One of the prosecutors stood up and questioned him. "Your name, please,"
"Kim Sooyun," he answered.

"You are to take the oath before you present what you have to the court." His words were simple and straightforward.

Sooyun took the oath before he spoke up. "I'm working in star light hotel, and I was there the night. The two came into the hotel. I was the one who lodged them in and was responsible for their room service due to the shortage of staff that night."

"Namjoon came in with an unconscious jimin on his back, and when I asked, he said he drank too much. I recognised them immediately cause I'm an army, but seeing the exhaustion on Namjoon's face, I said nothing." He says before his eyes went to Namjoon.

"I have with me the footage of what happened in the room that night," the  change in Namjoon expression was evident. The relaxed posture he had since the beginning of the case faltered.

To say that Jimn was not curious would be a lie. Seeing Namjoon's reaction made him all the more curious. But that doesn't mean he would appreciate the world seeing his not so intentional porn videos.

The prosecutor went ahead and took the flash drive from Sooyun before playing the record. The judge said to stop it when things became spicy. What played on the device was nothing anyone suspected in the room.

After he got the room key from the attendant, Namjoon made his way to the room and unlocked the door. He gently placed the unconscious Jimin on the bed and lay down beside him.

He stayed like that for some time before bringing his phone out and dialling a number. The line was picked by the other side, but only Namjoon's voice could be heard.

"Come over to Star light hotel, room*** third floor. I'm waiting for you," he says before hanging up the call. He lay back down, gazing at the ceiling and almost dozing off when there was a knock on the door.

He stood up and opened the door, revealing Taehyung, "What took you so long I almost dozed off," he says.

"Something held me back. Everything alright, why did you call me so late at night," he says, coming in but froze immediately he saw Jimin.

"The fuck happened to him..." he said running to the side of the bed touching his forehead and checking his pulse, sighing in relief when he noticed nothing odd.

"What's going on," he asks Namjoon who had been silent the whole time. "He asked me to rape him," he sighed out laying back down.

"Fuck him, I'm not letting you touch him, to hell with him" he says pulling jimin closer to his chest.

"I don't plan on doing it, you wouldn't be here if I did," he says in a matter of fact tone. But the grip Tae had on Jimin did not loosen. Not because he doesn't trust Namjoon but because he was angry.

"How could he say such a thing, how much more does he want to hurt him before he is satisfied," he says his grip tightening.

"All he told me is that he wants him broken, to the extent that he has no one by his side but him, that's how he shows his love or something like that. He said this was supposed to be the last straw to it, but I could never..." his words trailed off, but everyone knows what he wanted to say.

"I'll not let him. He'll never get away with it." Tae said, and the room became silent after that.

"Why did you call me here," he asked his previous question, still not letting go of Jimin. "I want you to make hickey on his body, " he says like he was talking about the weather.

"W-why..." Tae said with a red tint on his face. "Well, aren't hickey supposed to be present after having sex? The logic should still be applicable for rape. Besides, it will make it more believable," he says, playing with his mobile.

"Why didn't you do it yourself..." he asks. "Figured he'd be more comfortable knowing it was you who did it," his voice carried an obvious tone with it.

"And how are you so sure that I can make them..." he asks with a teasing tone. Namjoon turned around to look at him with a smirk. "Well, I happen to see some of your artwork on Hobi Vincent van Gogh, so this much shouldn't be a hassle to you."

Tae's face expressed different shades red in an instant before he looked away, not wanting to meet his hyungs suggestive gaze.
