"Erase it."

If Jisoo had been scared earlier, she was absolutely petrified in a dark oblivion of fear.

Because Park Pilwoo knew. The head of the Tunnel Interactions Branch knew. The clips showed everything. He knew she was involved. He knew that Jungkook, Hoseok, Taehyung, Y/N, the two girls, and even his own son Jimin were involved.

Thankfully he didn't ask to look further into the tape when Suga had made an appearance.

"I said erase it." The man's voice made her heart plummet in her chest, the fear in her body consuming her inside out as she scrambled to delete the recordings of the past seventy two hours.

"S-Sir—"

"You are smart, Kim Jisoo," the man's dark growl sounded, his body towering over her seated figure. The two were alone in the back room and it made her even more terrified for her life. "This was well planned out."

And yet he had asked her to delete his only evidence.

She let her hands fall from the mouse and into her lap, shivering as the elder man's hands appeared in her peripheral, one placed on the spine of the spinning chair and the other on the table to lean down to her height.

"My son is your gallant hero," he sneered and Jisoo kept her gaze low. "If he wasn't there, I would be arresting you and all of the accomplices right this moment with that tape. How lucky you are."

She did not feel a single ounce of luck. She felt like throwing up all Jin's lucky food instead.

"That son of bitch, Kim Taehyung," the man's voice darkened and Jisoo gulped. "Getting my son in issues again. I told Jimin to keep away and yet he never listens."

Jisoo didn't know exactly what had happened between Jimin and Taehyung, except an obvious trauma of the past having hindered their relationship. The younger of the two blowing up at Jungkook's apartment deepened her confusion, but hearing Jimin's father having been involved just made her wonder how big of an issue had occurred.

She was stunned into silence as the hand on the table suddenly grabbed her jaw, lifting her head to meet the sinister gaze of the man who wanted to destroy her life. It was ironic that he was stuck without evidence because of his son, his own blood that he would do everything for to protect his reputation.

"My eyes will be searching for that one slip up, that one mistake in your plan, so I can ruin you all for your crimes." He grit out, Jisoo's eyes teary as she gripped the arms of the chair she sat in. His hand on her jaw tightened and she winced in pain as he forced her to stand.

"J-Jimin— what w-will you do t-to him?" She managed to gasp out, only to find the elder more provoked.

"Oh, Jimin will get his fair share in due time, but he should be the last of your worries," he muttered, wrenching his hand away and Jisoo stumbled back, gasping and holding her face in pain. "I will get your involvement in clear evidence. How unfortunate that will be for your parents, no? Their daughter committed treason against society... lied to them, lied to protect her precious friends that somehow thought it to be ideal and tread underground— with minors, as well. Oh, how the list of crimes continues to grow."

He stepped away to head for the back room's door again. Jisoo shakily gripped the table to steady herself as the man continuously pinned his angry attention on her.

"W-What are you going to do?" She breathed out, voice trembling and weak.

"Why don't I start with those little girls? Was it Lisa and Jennie? I know their faces and I'm sure they are in records." His low voice mocked, a smirk displaying his sick words. "They will slip the easiest. It's only a matter of time."
