Chapter Twenty Nine- Mina's Truth

-Jungkook's POV-
"What do you mean she faked a rape? Why would she do that!?"
"To get attention, that's why. So just stay away. Even I had to leave her.." Mina replied.

"No. I don't believe you," I said.
"Jungkook.."
"Why.. I don't even know if you're telling the truth. I.."
"I can tell you what I know to be true. You don't have to believe me," Mina said.
"Fine. Tell me the fucking story," I replied, brushing my fingers through my hair.

"It was about two years ago when an incident happened at our school.." Mina started.
"There was a new kid in our class.. He was apparently a trainee in a huge company and so everyone was excited that a soon-to-be idol was in there class. Y/N, because of her parents, was forced to go to the study room everyday. Back then, Y/N didn't study at all so she was an idiot."
I nodded as she continued.

"The trainee also was forced to go to the study room because of his company. One day Y/N came to school with tears saying the trainee raped her after school at her house. When people asked the trainee he said he didn't and that he didn't even go to her house. It was a huge deal. Y/N's parents came to school making a huge fuss. In the end, the law said that Y/N was lying. And we came to the conclusion that Y/N was doing it for attention.

She loved kpop back then so I put the ends together and came to the conclusion that she wanted to have some sort of opportunity out of the 'rape'."

I couldn't reply anymore as I heard the story.
"Weren't you her friend?" I asked looking at the floor.
"What?" Mina replied.
"Did you even ask her properly or give her a chance to speak?" I asked again.
"I.. No but-"

"She has a trauma now because of the incident!" I said, raising my voice.
"She doesn't like being home alone because she remembers the rape! Isn't that enough to show that she isn't fucking lying?"

"A trauma?" Mina asked, brows furrowed.
"I'm gonna go," I said as I turned around and walked away from Mina.

I wanted to solve this.
I wanted Y/N to at least get a say.
But she wasn't anywhere of my reach.

"Hyung.. Can you take me to the studio?" I called my manager as I sat on a bench in the school grounds.
"Jungkook it's really late right now," he replied.
"I know but I want to work on some music... Clear my mind of some things.."
"Okay, I'll come pick you up in 5 minutes."

Like promised, my manager came to pick me up and drove me to the studio.
The whole ride was silent as many things were going through my head.
When I arrived, I walked straight to the recording studio to put some things together.

I was walking past the CEO's office when I overheard him say a word that made me stop.
"Y/N."
