She went into the company building, fixing the sleeves of her black blouse and the black pencil skirt that went down her legs.
She wore the same black pointed toe heels as she held her grey coat on one arm, the other carrying her briefcase.
Jihyun sat in a conference room, going over what she would do with the head of the company and getting his opinion with some of his other lawyers.
"Many of these comments are made by minors, meaning that we'll have to speak to the parents and that itself can get messy but we can make it work. As for the death threats, I looked into it and in the state of California, death threats are illegal like they should be, so they will get served in their state, according to their state laws. Now, I can't control anything over there but our associates in the US will be taking over those cases, all reporting back to me."
"This is amazing, it's only been two days and you have all of this done."
"I'm not the best just for the sake of being the best, sir." She smiled, earning a small laugh from the CEO.
"We have enough evidence to charge the defendants with defamation but to put someone in jail for death threats, I'm afraid we'll need more evidence because, for the death threats made in South Korea, most of it is very loose. Now, that doesn't mean we can't win. It'll just be harder."
"I'm sure if you need any more evidence, we'll be able to find it."
"And if you can't, I can ask for a search warrant and we can dig through their devices ourselves."
"That sounds like a plan, but our members are still adamant about this whole legal situation. They don't understand it like we do, could you please explain it to them? I'm sure they would understand you better than i."
"Of course, are they in the building?"
"Yes, we'll call them in shortly. Again, thank you."
"It's my pleasure. I help when I can."
He left the room with the other lawyers and Jihyun made a plan in her head to explain this situation as simply as possible.
The door opened and she stood up, shaking each of their hands with a smile. Though her red smile faltered when she spotted him.
His eyes widened, mouth falling opened as the others in the room stared at the two.
It felt the world had come to a stop, their eyes didn't move from each other.
"Noona...?" He asked softly as if he had gotten this all wrong. As if the woman in front of him wasn't the woman that he was familiar with.
The boys stared at their youngest and the woman with wide eyes. Jungkook was usually so shy with girls and they didn't know who this woman was.
Jihyun cracked a small smile and within seconds his arms were around her waist, hugging his big sister tightly.
Jungkook had the widest smile on his face while Jihyun let soft laughs escape her lips.
His arms lifted the girl up, twirling her around before placing her back down on the floor.
"Noona, I missed you so much." He smiled, pulling her into his arms once more. Jihyun let out a big breath, surprised at how strong Jungkook was. She felt like her ribs were going to break from the force of the hug.
"Bunny- you're crushing me." She laughed, he let go but with a big smile at the nickname. She fixed herself up, glancing back at the other boys who looked at her very confused.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Jeon Jihyun. I'm a lawyer." She smiled, shaking the hands of each of the boys.
"Lawyer? I'm sorry, but how old are you?"
"I'll give you 5 minutes to ask any questions about what just happened there, but then, I will need to continue with my job."
Jungkook gave a small laugh at his big sister.
"Noona is still the same."
"Just a hell of a lot smarter and richer, bunny." She winked, placing her files on the side. "Questions?"
"How old are you?"
"May 20th, 1994."
"You're barely 23!"
"And?"
"Don't lawyers graduate law school at 25?"
"Let me keep this simple. I graduated high school at 14, university at 18 and law school at 21. I'm now the number one lawyer at my firm with an almost 100% success rate."
"Woah, you're smarter than Namjoon."
"Am I?" Jihyun smiled, glancing over to where the others looked at. Her eyes landed on the man who looked the tallest. His purple hair and tan skin made a distinct difference between him and the other boys. He gave a shy smile to Jihyun, which showed his dimples. Jihyun gave a smile to him back.
"3 minutes left, anything else?"
"You want to have dinner with us tonight?" Jimin asked, smiling sweetly at the woman in front of him. Jungkook hit the elder one.
"If anything, noona will be eating with me tonight. I haven't seen her in over 15 years."
"15 years?!"
"I moved to London with my mother when I was 6 or 7."
"Why?" Yoongi asked bluntly. Jihyun gave an awkward laugh.
"It's messy, we share the same father but different mothers. 5 minutes is up." Jihyun said, clearing her throat softly.
"Your boss said that you have some concerns about suing the individuals who've ridiculed you."
"It just seems a bit... extreme," Hoseok spoke, feeling anxious about suing.
"Well, in your CEO's mind. It's a problem. BTS is starting to get a lot of attention worldwide, so when someone in a foreign space makes a rumour about you and gives false information, that is considered defamation."
"But a lot of them are children."
"Yes, a lot of them are minors. But every social media platform that they used, clearly stated that they need to be 13 or older. At 13, they should know what to do and what not to. For the ones younger than 13, that's a whole new set of rules and laws. We would be speaking to the parents of the children, not to the children themselves."
"But still..." Jihyun sighed and took out the documents.
"These are the types of things they're speaking about. Pedophilia, chart manipulation, racism and death threats are all mentioned. As children, they need to know what's wrong and right, accusing someone of pedophilia and threatening someone's life is not okay. Their parents should be monitoring them."
They stayed silent.
"Do you have any more concerns?"
They shook their heads 'no' but Jungkook spoke up.
"How about dinner noona?"
