"Stop!"
The attention averts to Officer Jeon as he steps in the auditorium with his hands high. He jogs to the front going through many of the people and closed gates to stand where Byun is. Taehyung along with everyone else is in confusion.
Jungkook knew that Taehyung was being wrongfully framed, what hurt his heart is that there was nothing to prove him innocent. 3 people in the room all dead and one still remains alive. He needed evidence that could prove his innocence. Taehyung was a good guy and other then Jimin, Andrea and Namjoon himself- Jungkook new it too. Therefore, there was no way he would allow Taehyung to go through this alone.
"Please don't give your verdict yet judge." Jungkook says calmly looking at the judge.
Bong Byun had an evident frown upon his face. He had already trampled down on every last bit of Taehyung's hope.
"Yes Officer Jeon," the judge says. The Judge has always been fond of Jeon Jungkook. The best police officer in the country. She always trusted him and was sure that anything said or done by him had purpose, reason and also truth. Jungkook gives a brief smile and hands it to the judge.
"Please I urge you to watch in private before giving your verd-"
"If I may say, this case already is filled with hidden possibilities. I say let's all watch," Byun interrupts.
He had already closed in the subjects of camera's, there where simply no cameras in the room.
The judge hands the little chip to the next officer who connects to the t.v above the judges head placed on the wall. The screen changes from the courts logo to a blank blue screen.
"Officer Jeon before we commerce with the video may we know what's on it." The judge asks.
Jungkook moves to Taehyung with pleading yet sorrowful eyes. "It's something Taehyung should've seen," he pats Taehyung's shoulder shaking it slightly, Taehyung still has his eyes glued on the floor. "And it's also proof. Proof because he's innocent."
Taehyung quickly turns to Jungkook with shock and widened eyes as well as everybody else in the court. Taehyung doesn't understand but as he hears 'proof' he believes that Jungkook truly has found something.
"That's all?" Byun asks and lets out a snicker not believing it.
"My.. fiance," Jungkook looks to Fiela and she smiles sadly nodding her head. Her sister had just been murdered, there was no way to continue the wedding without finishing this. Fiela would've been Jungkook's wife by now but this was more important.
"Who is your fiance?" Bong asks.
Jungkook snaps back to reality and clears his throat. "Kim Fiela. She informed me that her sister, Andrea was going to come over to our house for some preparations. She never came, but the conversation here tells us what you she was going to do," Jungkook removes his phone from his pocket quickly opening his audio folder going to the phone call record Fiela had with Andrea. "If you may,"
Another officer plugs the phone and Andrea's voice comes out. Taehyung moves his head to the sound feeling devastated.
Phone call conversation:
"Don't worry Fiela," Andrea says.
"But Andrea, I'm so stressed!" Fiela cries over the phone.
Andrea laughs. "Girl calm your bipolar ass, I just left you an hour ago. I'll be right back,"
Fiela sniffs. "But all your stuff is already here! What are you still doing there? I don't care if home is where the heart is! You need to be here with me right now in my heart!"
"If you think this Bachelorette party is nerve wrecking wait till the wedding. You'll be-"
"Andrea~" She whines.
"Okay, okay. Tae's coming back today okay and I won't see him until after your wedding so I want to surprise him with something. So that he won't miss me too much,"
"That sounds so touching," Fiela comments sarcastically. "What will you do?"
"A video to keep him up all through the night," Andrea laughs mischievously.
Fiela laughs along. "Okay yes girl! Go go and be quick. I need you here,"
"Alright, I love you,"
"I'll love you when you get here," she says.
"See you soon," Andrea chuckles.
-cuts the call-
"On the phone conversation Andrea mentioned making a video and in fact there was a camera in the room, but it was overlooked. I took deliberately to see if it was of any use," Jeon shuffles through his pocket bringing out a clear plastic that captures everyone's attention. Taehyung's favourite camera.
The first camera he ever bought her but ended up stealing back because he loved it more.
"I'm sorry Byun but the content of this video will defiantly swallow all your accusations," Jungkook speaks to Byun now.
"Your honour objection–"
"Overruled. Officer Jeon proceed." The judge firmly speaks.
"I couldn't let an innocent man be taken away again," at that he glares at Byun who adjusts his blazer and sits back on his seat. The judge goes down her podium taking a seat near Byun. Jungkook turns to Taehyung. "I'm sorry for all that's happened,"
Taehyung nods his head now fully aware of the people who would do everything they could to see him smile.
The video begins everyone anxious for what's in the video.
A strand of hair comes in view along with the rest of the room before a clear face blocks everything. Andrea.
Taehyung shakes his head as the tears swell up. Jungkook stands behind him and rubs on his shoulders.
She sways to the bed before planting herself looking really happy.
"Hey baby, my honey bun. I'm finally back from my day out with Fiela. You know, wedding stuff," she greets gazing at the camera laughing a little. "I cannot wait for that day. We did so many check ups today on wedding dress, venues, entertainments and even double making sure that the ring still fit. I'm so proud of them both. Anyway, I hope your trip went well, I'm sorry that I can't be there to hug and cherish you in bed as I'll be at Fiela's house preparing for the wedding!" She claps her hands bringing up some bags.
Meanwhile in the hall, everyone watches the video fully engulfed. Taehyung's heart heaves up and down as he watches her face. This was meant for him, she made a video so that he wouldn't miss her as much since she was going to be at Fiela's house. But neither of them knew about what would happen.
"I can't wait for Fiela's wedding to come. Honestly, like, oh my soul I'm going to cry on that day. I'll cry because I might look more beautiful then her and also my little sister is getting married to the most iconic young wise policeman. I'm kidding, her wedding dress is seriously so beautiful you won't even believe," she laughs while digging her fingers in the gift bags. "Anyway...I can't show you the dress that I got it's considered bad luck or whatever and I don't have it here with me. So I'll show you this painting I got,"
She brings out a large canvas turning it around.
Taehyung takes in a deep breath admiring the painting. It was a face, both Taehyung's face and Andrea's face on opposite sides meeting in the middle.
On Andrea's side, it showed light scars that eventually led to Taehyung's face. They were both smiling and the colours used brought out that wild happiness.
