A loud, sudden knock interrupted them again, making them all jump. This time, the voice on the other side was deep, authoritative. “This is the police. Open up.”

Taehyung’s eyes widened in panic, while Kylie exchanged a nervous glance with Y/n. The room held its breath, hearts pounding in unison.

“We’re here to discuss an urgent matter,” the voice continued.

Y/n’s hand trembled on Taehyung’s arm as they all stood rooted to the spot. The night had just taken a turn none of them could have imagined.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The knock seemed to echo in Y/n’s ears, each beat a reminder of the reality crashing down on them. She turned her eyes back to Kylie, who was now pale and visibly shaken.

“What do we do?” Taehyung’s voice was low, almost pleading. His eyes met Y/n’s, searching for some kind of reassurance.

Y/n swallowed hard, her lawyer instincts kicking in despite the chaos. “We need to stay calm. We don’t know why they’re here yet.”

Kylie nodded, her voice a strained whisper. “It might not be what we think. Just... answer the door and play it cool.”

With a deep breath, Y/n walked to the door, throwing a quick glance at Taehyung who stood like a statue, fists clenched by his sides.

She opened the door slowly, revealing two officers standing in the dimly lit hallway, their expressions serious but not hostile.

“Good evening,” one of them said, nodding slightly. “We’re looking for Kim Taehyung.”

Taehyung took a step forward, his voice trembling despite his best efforts. “I’m Kim Taehyung. What is this about?”

The officer’s gaze softened marginally as he noticed Taehyung’s unease. “Mr. Kim, we’re here regarding an investigation involving your father. We’re not here to make any arrests, but we need to ask you some questions.”

Kylie stepped in, her tone defensive. “Is it really necessary to come at this hour? This is absurd.”

The second officer, a woman with sharp eyes, glanced at Kylie. “Miss, this is standard procedure when we need urgent information. We appreciate your cooperation.”

Y/n’s heart was racing, but she maintained her composure. “We’ll cooperate. Can you tell us what kind of investigation this is?”

The first officer glanced at his notes. “There have been allegations brought forward that need immediate attention. We understand this is difficult, but it’s best we discuss it somewhere private.”

Taehyung’s jaw tightened as he looked at Y/n, a silent plea in his eyes. “Can we talk here?” he asked, his voice steadier now.

The officers exchanged a glance before the woman nodded. “If you’re comfortable, yes. We’ll keep it brief.”

Y/n gestured them inside, the tension so palpable it was suffocating. Kylie moved to the corner of the room, arms crossed, eyes flickering with anxiety.

“Please, have a seat,” Y/n said, her voice as even as she could manage.

The male officer sighed. “Mr. Kim, we’re aware that this is a family matter, and it involves sensitive accusations against your father. Our goal is to gather initial statements and inform you of your rights during this process.”

Taehyung sat down heavily, as if the words had physically struck him. “Accusations?” he echoed, disbelief shadowing his features. “Against my father? He’s a respected man in the community...”
