"That's recess!" the judge shouted, hitting the gravel against the stand.

"Dad, we have to do something," Taehyung muttered, pinching his father's arm.

His father hissed and playfully smacked Taehyung's hand away. "Taehyung, what are we supposed to do? That woman got you into my mess. It was her own decision to turn the mafia and herself in."

"Dad, we could die any day now. It could be from a natural cause or allies of the mafia. Who knows, maybe some people from the mafia will come murder us when we least expect it."

His father sighed. "Taehyung, we owed them a lot of money, so yes, you're right, but we cannot run our whole lives."

"I didn't say that, Dad. I just said we need to help Uri," Taehyung begged.

"How are we supposed to do that? I need to find a way to keep our company, as well as our house. I'm old, Taehyung. I can't do much."

"Then, let me take over the company. I swear I'll be able to raise the money we need to keep going."

His father nodded. "But she needs to go to jail, Taehyung. She is a bad person."

"She's not bad anymore!"

"She was, wasn't she? Let her learn her lesson. Besides, even if we try to help her, it'll take a lot of convincing. If she's found guilty, it'll take a while for you to help her out. In that time, she'll learn her lesson."

Taehyung bit his lip and nodded, slowly processing his father's words. "Fine, Dad, but I will break her out of jail one day whether you like it or not."

His father nodded. "It could take years for you to do that. Based on what crimes she has committed, she could never get out of jail."

"Let me worry about that, Dad."
