The sky outside the hospital windows had deepened into a warm evening hue, strokes of fading orange melting into shadowy indigo. Inside the VIP suite, however, the light felt colder-clinical, too still. The faint rhythmic beep of Jungkook's heart monitor echoed in the room, a sharp contrast to the storm quietly brewing among the men gathered around him.

Jungkook sat propped against the adjustable bed, his arm still bandaged and an IV trailing from his wrist. His expression was grim, jaw clenched and brows furrowed. Though his body was still recovering, his mind had moved far ahead-calculating, weighing, resisting panic were jeongchan went home with taehyung an hour ago.

Namjoon stood by the foot of the bed, arms crossed, shoulders taut. Jin sat on the couch with Yoongi next to him, the latter reviewing something on his tablet. Cha Eunwoo, the attorney, stood near the window, his phone pressed to his ear before he finally ended the call and turned around.

"They are filling the accident report to the Majestic Court as supporting evidence tomorrow," Eunwoo announced, his tone unreadable.

Eunwoo muttered, not sugar coating it. "They're trying to show you're emotionally unstable, negligent-and now physically irresponsible."

eunwoo added, "They framed it as if you were driving under stress or possibly drinking."

"how do they even get proof?" Jin asked, though he already knew the answer.

"Don't know but they submitted the hospital's test records," Eunwoo confirmed. "There's no alcohol in your system, but that doesn't matter when the narrative is already planted."

Silence pressed down on the room like a weight.

"They're building a picture," Yoongi said slowly, his eyes fixed on Jungkook. "A father who's too angry to be soft. Too busy to be present. Too reckless to be safe."

Jungkook's hand curled into a fist over the blanket. "And they think they can take Jeongchan from me based on one mistake?"

Namjoon stepped forward. "It's not just one mistake anymore. It's the PTA absence, the hospital records with Jin hyung's name as guardian... now the accident. They're lining up moments, not facts."

For a moment, the only sound was the slow, steady beeping of the monitor. Jungkook's throat tightened-not with fear, but with something worse.

What if they were right?

What if he wasn't enough?

Eunwoo stood near the foot of the bed, his arms crossed, his tone calm but pointed. "There's no easy way to say this, so I'll be blunt. The court has already started painting you as an unstable parent. This accident gave them what they needed."

Jin's gaze lowered. "They're going to say you're reckless. That Jeongchan lacks a secure, family environment. And after today's documents, it's going to stick."
