"what? who knows, tae?" jimin asked.
taehyung's eyes widened. namjoon knows?
"jimin, i know you love taeyeon." tae said. jimin sighed and nodded. "why?" he asked.
"we are going to put someone in prison for hurting our taeyeon." tae said, his expression showed hatred and anger.
"wh-what happened to her?" jimin asked, eyes teary.
tae glared at the casette on the coffee table. "proof is there. she was raped by Mr Ahn."
~
"so what're we going to do?" jimin asked.
"i have no idea jimin.."
"is there anyone else we can trust?"
tae thought for a moment until he remembered someone. "jungkook. call jungkook to come here."
~
jungkook and jimin agreed to help even before taehyung explained about everything. after knowing everything, tae gets to decide who he can trust. and jimin and jungkook are one of them. he knew they'd never hurt an angel like taeyeon, the three of them loved taeyeon.
"here's what we're gonna do."
~
"thank you so much jin." tae smiled after hugging his hyung, jin.
"my pleasure tae. if you need anything else, i'll help." jin answered.
"no, this is enough. thank you again, bye." tae waved at the older who waved back with a smile.
tae ran back to his car and handed the box jin gave him over to jungkook who was sitting at the back. "you got the cameras?" jimin asked. tae nodded with a smile and drove away from jin's house.
tae had asked jin to buy a few cctv that were able to hide in a small space. jin knew what type of camera he wanted and immediately bought a few for them. not really knowing the reason why he needed them, but he wasn't gonna question.
after getting the cameras, they went namjoon's place.
"what brings you all here?" namjoon asked after welcoming the three of them inside his house.
"i have something to ask you hyung. and i need you to be honest with me." tae said after sitting down on the couch with the rest.
"of course." namjoon replied.
"were you taeyeon's private tutor for art?"
"well, yes. she asked for my help saying she didn't want you to know because you loved art and if she didn't do well, she thought you'd tease her or something. even though i already told her you wouldn't do such a thing. but she insisted i teach her and even pay me. though i didn't want her money, i just wanted to teach her, that's all." he explained.
tae nodded. "is there something you know about taeyeon that we don't?" jimin asked.
namjoon looked at jimin and back at tae, staring deep into his eyes. "yes."
"so did you know about what that asshole did to taeyeon too?" jungkook asked, his eyes were teary.
jimin and jungkook knew what happened to taeyeon but tae didn't let then watch the tape. he didn't want them to see what he saw.
"unfortunately yes. but i have a reason why i didn't tell you." namjoon said. "well, explain." tae frowned.
"okay. just like you guys, i had no idea such things happened to her. i did not see anything like that happen at all. but one time when i was tutoring her, she told me everything that Mr Ahn did to her. she gave me a casette, she told me it was a video of her and Mr Ahn. i knew i had to reveal it to the police but she warned me not to trust anyone easily. and most importantly she told me never to tell you or jungkook or jimin. specifically the three of you for some reason. so i didn't but instead i went to the police with the evidence. and guess what?"
"they took it from you and kicked you out." tae replied. namjoon nodded, looking disappointed. "i felt so betrayed but at the same time i felt so guilty because i had just lost the evidence that taeyeon had. the only evidence to prove what that son of a bitch did to her. i didn't tell the policemen my real name that day. and a few days later taeyeon told me that Mr Ahn had talked to her about someone name Kim Hanjoon, which was the name i gave to the policemen. he said he'll find the man and kill him if he can. i was relieved that it wasn't my real name, but still. everything was just so wrong."
"and you still didn't tell us?"
namjoon shook his head. "no. as much as i wanted to, i couldn't. taeyeon really didn't want me to. she was desperately asking me not to tell any of you or anyone else or else they'll end up the same as kim hanjoon, she said. i didn't know what to do. i'm sorry tae. i should've just told you earlier."
"no it's okay. you shouldn't have."
"what do you mean?" jimin asked.
"there's a reason why she's giving me all these clues after she passed. there's definitely a reason why she didn't tell me so muchh when she was still alive. try to understand her guys. she had her reasons. do you really think all those will be revealed when she's still alive?" tae asked, he felt like crying but his tears were dried from crying several times for a few days in a row.
"i get it. society sucks." jungkook sniffed.
"is there anything i can do to help?" namjoon asked.
"yes. rent us an underground studio. where i can meet up with this dickhead."
