Chief Kim / Kim Taehyung Ff

65. Finding Peace.

Taehyung quickly moved Jimin and his equipment upstairs to their study. Y/n was awake now, and she might come downstairs, despite Taehyung telling her not to because they were busy with "important work." To keep her distracted, Jin went upstairs to be with her, chatting and keeping her occupied.

In the study, Jimin was frustrated. The fact that this system had defeated him hurt his pride. He had spent years mastering every system he encountered. How could this one be beyond his skills?

His fingers flew over the keyboard, his mind racing as he tried to crack the device's security. Each failed attempt only fueled his resolve. He wasn't going to let this system beat him.

"Come on," Jimin muttered, his eyes narrowing in focus. "There's got to be a way in."

Taehyung watched him, feeling both admiration and concern. He knew how much Jimin's pride was tied to his hacking skills, and he could see the toll it was taking on him.

"Jimin, take a break if you need to," Taehyung suggested gently. "We have time."

Jimin shook his head, his jaw set. "No, I can't stop now. I need to crack this."

Taehyung nodded, understanding his friend's drive. "Alright. Just remember, we're all here to support you."

Downstairs, the rest of the boys continued searching for any other devices. They knew Jimin was their best shot at finding the truth and keeping y/n safe.

Meanwhile, Jin kept y/n engaged, talking about anything to keep her from worrying or becoming suspicious. He knew how important it was to keep her safe, both physically and emotionally.

As the hours passed, the tension in the study grew. Jimin's frustration was clear, but so was his determination. He was going to crack this system, no matter what it took. And when he did, they would finally be able to bring whoever was responsible to justice.

After 36 hours of constant effort, Jimin finally broke through the system. He sighed in relief, then immediately texted the others in their group chat: "I cracked it." The boys rushed to the study, their faces a mix of anticipation and concern.

When they arrived, Jimin looked up at them, exhaustion and triumph in his eyes. "The device started capturing video two days ago. There's only one footage recorded."

Yoongi, his face set in a grim line, said, "Play it."

Jimin hesitated, glancing around at his friends. They nodded, bracing themselves. With a deep breath, Jimin hit play.

The footage started with y/n and Yoongi entering the washroom. It showed y/n brushing her teeth while Yoongi helped her recall interview questions. After a moment, Yoongi left, and y/n locked the door. As soon as she took off her shirt, Yoongi slammed the laptop shut, his face pale with anger and disgust.

"No one else sees this," Yoongi said firmly, his voice shaking slightly. The others nodded, equally horrified.

"We need to delete this and make sure no one ever gets their hands on it," Taehyung said, his voice filled with resolve.

Jimin nodded, already working on erasing the footage. "I'll make sure it's gone for good."

As they stood in the study, the weight of what had been avoided settled over them. They had protected y/n's privacy, but the sense of violation still lingered.
