[Jungkook x Taehyung] Bloodlines and Ties

//21

Jungkook led Taehyung to his computer, where he had pulled up the footage that was causing so much trouble. The screen displayed the incriminating video of someone who looked remarkably like Jungkook attacking Taehyung's mother. Taehyung watched, his expression a mix of anger and confusion, as Jungkook began to explain.

"Taehyung, look closely," Jungkook said, pointing to specific parts of the video. "This footage has been tampered with."

Taehyung squinted at the screen, trying to follow Jungkook's finger. "What are you talking about?"

Jungkook paused the video and used a video editing software to overlay a series of frames. "Here," he said, pointing to several discrepancies. "This footage has been edited. You can see that the timestamps don't match up, and there are inconsistencies in the lighting and shadows. The video was altered to make it look like I was there."

Taehyung's eyes widened as he began to see the flaws Jungkook was pointing out. "But why would someone go through the trouble of framing you like this?"

Jungkook's expression was grim. "I don't know yet. But someone is clearly trying to set me up. The question is why and who."

Taehyung looked conflicted, his previous anger fading into concern. "If this footage is fake, then it means you're not responsible for what happened to my mom."

"That's right," Jungkook said firmly. "I would never hurt her. I'm just as confused and upset about this as you are."

Taehyung rubbed his forehead, trying to process the revelation. "But how do we prove that this footage is fake to the authorities? It's going to be hard to convince them."

Jungkook nodded. "I've already started gathering evidence to support that this footage was edited. I have access to the original files and can prove that someone manipulated the video."

Taehyung took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the situation lift slightly but still heavy with the burden of distrust and confusion. "Alright. If you can prove your innocence and find out who's behind this, then I'll support you. But you need to understand that this is a big deal."

"I understand," Jungkook said earnestly. "I'm going to clear my name, and I need your help to do it. I promise you, I'm not involved in this, and I'll do whatever it takes to make things right."

Taehyung nodded, his resolve strengthened by Jungkook's sincerity. "Then let's work together to get to the bottom of this. I want to believe you, Jungkook. I just need to see the truth."

With a shared sense of purpose, Taehyung and Jungkook began to piece together the puzzle, working to uncover who had orchestrated the frame-up and why. The path ahead was uncertain, but their determination to clear Jungkook's name brought them closer together as they navigated the complexities of trust, deception, and justice.

Taehyung's gaze softened as he listened to Jungkook's playful yet heartfelt words. The tension in the room seemed to ease for a moment. Jungkook's smile was both confident and genuine as he leaned closer to Taehyung.

"Well," Jungkook continued, his voice low and sincere, "I guess I'm a successful thief in more ways than one. I stole your heart, Tae. That's the real heist."

Taehyung blinked, his usual stern expression melting into a mix of surprise and affection. He let out a soft, almost disbelieving laugh. "You're incorrigible, you know that?"

Jungkook's eyes twinkled with amusement. "Guilty as charged. But you have to admit, it's a pretty good heist, isn't it?"

Taehyung shook his head, a smile tugging at his lips. "You really know how to put things into perspective. Despite everything that's happened, I can't deny how much you mean to me."
