Taehyung decided to go to the office first before I pick up my things. Yoongi messaged him that he needed to sign a particular document.

Jungkook almost froze in his seat when our eyes met. He immediately looks somewhere else when Taehyung arrived behind me. I am worried that Taehyung will confront him but instead, he puts his arm on my waist and guide me to his office.

"Namjoon, I want the bank statement of account emailed to me. Including the scanned copy of the checks I issued." Taehyung asked Namjoon and Namjoon looked at my brother, smirking. I wonder why.

"Right away, boss." Namjoon smiled as he rummaged through his files.

"I won't be able to stay in the office today. Jin is moving in with me." Taehyung emphasized each word. "So please email everything."

Namjoon, Yoongi, and Jungkook all looked at me.

"At last," Yoongi uttered.

"Where's Jimin?" Taehyung looked at Jimin's table. It's empty.

"No message boss. Maybe feeling lethargic again." Namjoon shrugged.

Taehyung nods his head. He tilts his head as he looked back at Namjoon. "What's that stain on your top Joon? Is that blood?"

Namjoon's eyes fleet. He looks surprised and immediately rubs the stain on his top as if his rubbing can remove it. "Ketchup boss. I ate a hotdog sandwich on the way here."

"Jungkook, in my office." He glared at Jungkook and I felt nervous. I'm not expecting that he will confront Jungkook today. I'm not up to be a referee for a duel today.

As we enter his office, he sat down on his chair and opened the folder with the document that he needs to sign. Jungkook and I sat down on the chairs in front of his desk. We waited while Tae reviews and signs the documents before facing us.

"I'm not here to confront you Jungkook. I don't want that damn kiss to ruin my relationship with Jin and with you. I'm hoping that would be the first and the last. Don't you ever think that I don't care because I do and to be honest, I want to forget that you are my brother because I want to blow your head off."

"But I chose to stay civil and calm just what Jin wanted me to do. I don't want to make another wrong decision because of my anger. I'm trying to make everything right this time. I will not forget what you did. Jin just asked me not to hurt you. I will stay true to my words. So better stay away with Jin. Or better yet, stay away for a while. While you try to manage your feelings for him. Jin is mine Jungkook. Always remember that." Taehyung said. I'm proud of how he managed to stay calm after what Jungkook did.

Jungkook wasn't able to utter any word. Maybe surprised that I already told Taehyung or how Tae handled the situation.

"Did you know that Namjoon is dragging you in his mess?" Taehyung waited for Jungkook to speak but Jungkook's mouth left hanging. Maybe too shocked of too much information. Because I am shocked too.

My heart thumps unusually fast. "Tae, why don't you just face Namjoon and clear things up once and for all?"

"Listen, Jin, you know how I want things to unfold. I will not point my finger to Namjoon and tell him he betrayed me. Yoongi will bring that woman in front of me before I face Namjoon. She's the second to the last piece in the puzzle." Taehyung looks angry. He's so good at playing pretend and controlling his anger.

"Do you really think its Namjoon who brought me in the hospital?" I asked. I have no idea. I really thought it's my father's men who brought me there.

"Jin it only points to one person. Namjoon is the one who recommends that nanny to me. I don't even know that she's a doctor. You confirmed it to me just this morning." Taehyung is slow in finding solutions right now because he has few people working for him unlike before that he has lots. "And he said that it's all Jungkook's plan."

Taehyung tossed a number of pictures on the table. All are pictures of me and Jungkook.

"But Namjoon asked me to go to the bus station that day. He called me that Hyung needs to sign a financial document and it's urgent. A client had been calling the office as well. I went to the bus station but you're not there anymore. But I found Jin there. I thought it's purely coincidental." Jungkook said and Taehyung nodded.

"Now it's clear. He planned everything. He intentionally wanted you to go there because he wanted all the blame to fall on you."

Taehyung then turned to me.

"Did you really work in a fishing vessel Jin or your boss just forced you to work there?" Taehyung asked.

"I did. For a month. I was pregnant that time. My boss did not force me to work there. I volunteered because the income is higher. Maybe that's the time you went to Jeju. I think that's the coincidence. No one forced me." I explained.

"Namjoon said there might be a possibility that Jungkook asked someone to keep you in Jeju. This is ridiculous." Tae clicked his tongue. "Namjoon is so stupid. How can he do this? So lame, poor planning and just pure bullshit."

Jungkook and I just looked at each other.

"How did you know it's Namjoon?" Jungkook asked.

"Jimin."

I'm shocked by that. Jimin?

"Jimin was lured by Namjoon. I think it's Namjoon who brought Jin in the hospital. I wanted to know what happened that night. And what are Namjoon's intentions." Taehyung paused for a while. "Remember Starr?"

"The stripper," Jungkook said and my heart suddenly jumped. I hate that stripper.

"Yes. She got an extra copy of the CCTV recording at the bus station. She kept the original copies. Then gave Namjoon a wrong copy of marked flash drive with porn movies. When I asked for the copy, Namjoon gave me a corrupted drive without the secret mark. It all fits right? He's not thinking well. He's not planning well as if he did not learn anything from me." Taehyung smirked while shaking his head.

"Are we in danger Tae?" I asked. Nervous not for my life but for my Taejin.

"I don't think so. He's not doing anything. Maybe he's planning something. I cannot say that he is harmless. He's starting to bring the company down. Let's just all be careful." Taehyung warned us.

"I texted Jimin, he's not answering," I said while checking on my phone. I've been dialing his number a number of times but he's not picking up. "I messaged him this morning and said he will wait for me. Maybe that's the reason why he's not here. Can we go now Tae? I don't know but I feel something is wrong with Jimin"

I don't know why I have that sudden feeling of fear. Jimin always responds to my messages quickly. Now I cannot reach him. And I'm starting to get worried.
