Author's pov:

The headline screamed: "Jeon Jungkook, CEO of JK Enterprises, Accused of Molestation!"

Disbelief turned to fury as he scrolled down. The article detailed a fabricated story, accusing him of inappropriate behavior towards a florist hired for a recent event. His stomach lurched as he saw the accompanying picture. It was clearly doctored - a manipulated image of him with a blurred figure beside him. But the blurred figure was unmistakably familiar, the clothing and hair hinting at a horrifying truth - it was Kim Taehyung.

"What the f**k!" he roared, his voice echoing in the silent room.

Jeongguk paced like a caged animal, his mind a whirlwind of rage and confusion. He scrolled through the endless stream of hateful comments, each one a dagger to his heart. How could anyone believe such a monstrous lie? He ran a hand through his hair, his fingers tangling in the strands. He was supposed to be the one in control, the one who always had a plan. But now, he felt powerless, a pawn in a game he didn't understand.

"I fucking get it," he roared, his voice echoing through the empty apartment.

"It's you, Kim Taehyung. The fucking audacity you have!"

jeongguk ran to downstair and reaches the main door, he need to see taehyung but before he could step out the door burst open, and Jimin and Yoongi stepped inside.

"Heard the news, couldn't just stay home," Jimin said, stepping inside.

Jeongguk groaned, burying his face in his hands. He felt exposed, vulnerable. Jimin and Yoongi moved towards him, their presence a comforting anchor in the storm of his emotions. Jimin's hand found his shoulder, a gentle squeeze of support.

"I want to leave," Jeongguk mumbled, his voice muffled. "Get away from it all."

Yoongi shook his head. "You're not going anywhere," he said firmly.

"get inside" he dragged him in by his arm and pushed him onto the couch, and the couple sit either side of him.

"I know who's behind this shit," he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "I need to teach him a lesson."

Jimin and Yoongi exchanged a worried glance. They knew Jeongguk, the fierce protector, the man who wouldn't hesitate to fight for what was right. But they also knew that impulsive actions could have dire consequences.

"as the CEO of the agency, it's my job to dig in, you will come out on top. I promise," Yoongi says as he pats his shoulder while Jungkook stares at him.

"Will you not ask if I did it?" he asks, and Yoongi and Jimin both smile.

"I understand you're a jerk, but you wouldn't act like that towards anyone. So, I won't inquire," he states. Jeongguk smiles, averts his gaze, yet his anger resurfaces. He groans while rising, and Jimin and Yoongi restrain him back onto the sofa. He gives them a stern look.

"I need to hear from him - please let me go," he yells. Jimin is taken aback as he successfully frees himself from their hold, and Yoongi rolls his eyes.

"Do you even know his address?" he asks with disinterest, looking at him. Jeongguk stays quiet, looks away, and Yoongi sighs as he approaches him.

"Okay-I will take you to him-but not just today-it's almost midnight, all eyes are on you. One wrong move, you'd be titled as a rapist also-so just calm down," he softly says, and Jeongguk closes his eyes, staring at the ceiling. Jeongguk's anger simmered, but he knew Yoongi was right. He closed his eyes, trying to regain control. He couldn't let them win. Not like this.
