As soon as Jackson heard the announcement, he stood up and went to the witness stand himself.

Before the clerk commanded him to raise his hand, he immediately did it without showing any hesitance. He had been ready for this. He wanted to help the case, not just because he was the group's friend and Namjoon's brother but also he wanted to prove to everyone that what Dr. Kim did was unforgiveable and shameful in the name of all doctors. Doctors should be caring to their patients. Not being evil, heartless and wicked.

The clerk cleared his throat to catch everyone's attention before he spoke. "Do you promise that the testimony you shall give in this case now before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? So help you God," he asked Jackson who was putting his left hand on the bible while rising the other as his eyes were glued on the audience.

"I do," Jackson agreed and with that the prosecution went on.

It has been approximately 4 hours inside the trial court room and Deputy District Attorney Kim was having a hoarse voice now, proving that he has been speaking for how many hours but this doesn't stopped him to defend the case. And as the matter-of-factly, prosecutors had been trained for how many years and that includes him.

With an obvious hoarse and deep voice, Mr. Kim continued his prosecution. He asked Jackson immediately. "Dr. Jackson Wang, what is your relationship to Mr. Kim Taehyung?"

Jackson swallowed. "Nothing in particular. I'm just his friend's brother, Kim Namjoon. After what I discovered about XXXX Mental Hospital, I volunteered to be a substitute doctor to him," he answered thoroughly. Calmness was evident the way he spoke those words.

"How about to the defendant? What is your relationship to him?"

Jackson gave a slight shrug. "We don't know each other personally. Being a doctor is the only common thing we have," he replied.

Mr. Kim nodded and stared at Jackson a second or so as he was thinking of something. Something related to the topic. "After you discovered about Mr. Kim Taehyung's situation, as a doctor did you find something?" He questioned.

Jackson replied first a nod. "Yes. I found out that the drug they injected to Mr. Kim Taehyung wasn't that an ordinary drug. It kills WBC or the white blood cells that fights diseases and it results adverse reactions such as hallucinations. Our team studied the drug and we named it Placid Drug Basic Type 1 or simply known as PBT-01," he paused, swallowing his saliva before he spoke again. "This drug results green markings in Mr. Kim Taehyung's nape and arms like what Mr. Tae Ha said. We did our best to eradicate this drug inside Mr. Taehyung's body by making PBT-01's counterpart. It was hard though but we managed to do it anyway," he continued explaining thoroughly.

All of them nodded including Taehyung.

So that was the drug he injected me everyday, he said through his mind as he realized everything.

Everyone understood what Jackson said but maybe except for the drug he mentioned which was named as PBT-01. Yoongi turned his head to the other side where Dr. Kim was sitting and he saw how the doctor gritted his teeth fuming with anger as his eyes were glued on Jackson. Yoongi hypothesized that maybe Dr. Kim was upset from being caught of all the worst deeds he did while he was free and wasn't sued.

The other party was quiet, especially the public defender himself. He just knew that his side will never win. There was no chance of winning especially that all the evidences were clear and cannot be objected. The statements, the testimonies, the evidences were so clear to everyone that their party will never had a tiny single chance of winning. Some people might think that this court hearing might be used for formalities only which was quite true.
