Web Of Lies

Third person's pov

They all sat speechless after hearing what the other two had to share about their past actions. If they were feeling regret before then, now they don't know what to feel.

"I-it's all my fault..." Jimin said. "I told you that no one is at fault." Namjoon said for the nth time that night.

"No, Hyung, no matter how you view it, I will always be at fault. If o-only I didn't leave in the first place, all this wouldn't have happened. I knew he would come to look to for me if I left, but I still selfishly left. If only I sta..." Jimin started but was cut off by Seokjin.

"It's not your fault. You were not selfish. Jimin, everyone would have done the same if they were in your shoes. No matter how bad your parents are, you wouldn't paint them as murderers. You might have known that he was a bad father but not someone who could kill. If not, you would've put two and two together and suspected him for all those things that has happened. The fact that you didn't think about him being behind it means you never thought he was this bad." Jin said, his voice low but assuring.

Jimin look down not able to meet them in the eye. Of course what Jin said was all true, he knew his father was obsessed with him and wanted him as his boytoy since he turned fourteen but he wanted him to be 'of age' before he have him.

Immediately, he turned eighteen, jimin fled Busan, knowing of his father's intentions towards him. He knew that his father knew what he was doing and knew of his location all along, but he didn't know that he was the one behind all that had been going wrong in his life.

He never even suspected the events to be connected together, but now that he heard everything, it was hard for him to think that the man could stoop so low as to kill people. The thought of it made him feel nauseous.

His father could afford the money to hire people to do the job for him and cover it up without his hands ever getting dirty. He had the money after all, the man is filthy rich that he doesn't know what to do with the money.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't feel guilty about it, the fact that he was the reason for someone's death, Someone really close to him. He made people who he considered as family lose their loved ones.

Though they still don't blame it on him doesn't mean it would make him feel better about himself. If he had stayed with his father and accepted his fate then all this wouldn't have happened.

Jin didn't have to get his memories messed with, Namjoon would still have his mother with him, Yoongi wouldn't have to suffer the shoulder pain he still has, Taehyung wouldn't have to live with the guilt of knowing that his loved ones were at gun point, and Jungkook and Hoseok wouldn't have to live with the guilt of not being able to be their for their loved one when he needed them the most.

Most importantly, Namjoon and Taehyung wouldn't have to live on eggshell knowing that a small shift to their posture could cost them the life of someone they cared about.

The fact that they have no freedom and need to be surrounded by security anywhere they go is irksome, they can't even leave their house now. The police are not aware of what is going on right now so they are definitely defenseless right now.

Mr Park should be aware of what has happened in the court already and would not hesitate to hurt anyone. They can't hide it anymore knowing that he can target anyone.

Namjoon knows that Mr Park still thinks he and Tae did not tell anyone about what has been going on so that's the only thing they have as an advantage. They have to take him off guard, so he decide he would tell everything to Bang PD so they can take legal actions.

If he had said something in court that day then he is sure that a lot of lives would have been lost that day.

"Let's just try and forget everything and try moving on." Hoseok said and they all nodded knowing that it is easier said than done. It was silent for a moment before Jungkook spoke again. He looked like he wanted to ask that question for a long time but was too afraid of the reaction he'll get.

"What a-about hyungs Hypnosis." His eyes briefly looking at Jimin and Jin before it finally landed on Namjoon. They were all aware of the Hypnosis except for Jin of course. They don't know what will happen if it were to stop working, they all looked at him trying to find any change in his actions.

Yoongi held Jimin closer as Tae went to sit infront if him almost covering him entirely from Jin's line of sight. Jin felt hurt but he knew that what they were doing was out of instinct so he tried to brush it off.

"I remember everything, w-while Joon was narrating the events that happened everything started coming back and I remembered all that had happened." He said.

"I'm sorry for making you guys worried, for being a monster instead of someone you find comfort in." He said looking at each one of them remebring the fear and terror they had when they saw him that way.

"Jimin I'm sorry for blaming you about Hyejins death knowing that you were as affected as I was. I knew she was more like a sister to you but I still blindly believed what I've been fed with instead of believing you. I'm s-sorry." He says, breaking down.

"No hyung it's okay, you had it hard at that time, she was your only family so loosing her must've been painful, i don't blame you at all hyung," Jimin said, looking at the man who was being hugged by Namjoon.

"Still..."

"No hyung, don't beat yourself too much please." Jimin cut him off before he was done and he just hummed in approval.

"I wonder if the person she loved, loved her back. The person that would've stopped her from committing suicide, do you know him?" He asked Jimin who looked confused.

"I don't think there is such person, she hasn't told me about him yet. Maybe you should ask Hyerin she might know about him." He answered. His friend never told him about her love life. It's not like they usually talk about their love lives, she did know he liked guys cause he had confessed and she had accepted him wholeheartedly.

"Hmm... if I knew who he was I would have gotten him to her in time then maybe..." he trailed off but they all knew what he wanted to say.

Thanks 💜
