BARE SOULS

ANGRY DECISIONS

Jk: *finally looks her in the eye* W-why did you do it?
Jimin: Yaah! Why would she do it?
Yn: *looks up at the ceiling controlling her tears and looks back at him, calm* Maybe ask yourself Jeon Jungkook, did I really do it? *lets out a hurtful scoff*
Jk: *notices what she called him and he could see how hurt she was looking into her eyes* *looks away* I-I don't know.
D1: We have to take you Ynssi. *holds her arm again*
Yn: *looks at the officer's grip over her arm and looks at Jungkook who's standing right in front of her doing nothing* *her expression slowly changes into anger* Let go!
D1: Excuse me?
Yn: *serious* I said let go!
D1: Ynssi don't make it complicated for yourself, we'll then have to take serious action.
Yn: I'm not running away. Just don't touch me! I know how to stand up for myself when not a SINGLE PERSON in this room can do it, while I trusted all of them all this while. *Looks at rest of the BTS, with her bloodshot eyes*
Jk: That's because Bangtan comes first for all of us. *looks into her eyes clenching his jaw*
Jin: YAAH! JUNGKOOK!
Yn: *yeets the officer's hand away, his grip was strong, so while using extra force she hits the glass of the photo frame on the wall accidentally in the process. The glass cuts through the back of her palm and the blood started dripping slowly*
*As much as he had a mix of emotions at that moment, Yn is someone that's precious to him. He finally snaps out of his anger looking at her hand, that's when he realises how harsh the officer was being towards her*
Jk: Y-yn! *takes a step towards her but she couldn't care less*
A: *holds Yn's leg, feeling uncomfortable with the atmosphere around her*
Yn: *looks down and picks her up*
A: Why are you crying? *worried*
Yn: *mumbles with her broken voice* Stay with Mimi and Jin oppa okay? I'll be back in no time.
A: *starts tearing up for no reason, actually she started welling up her tears looking at Yn's emotions* *with her shaky voice* Mommy don't go. Pwease. I no like here. *holds her t-shirt tightly*
*Everybody starts tearing up. The fact that Yn didn't mention his name to Aria, made him realise that it's all messed up now. Maybe he should have asked her first. But it can't be undone now. He moves to her to take Aria from her.*
Yn: Don't cry baby. We'll have a cupcake party after I get back okay?
Jk: Yn you're bleedin-
Yn: *takes a step back looking at him piercing through his eyes* Oppa! (to Jin) Call Mimi and she'll come pick Aria. *doesn't break the eye contact with Jungkook*
A: Mommy I don't want to gooooo. *starts crying*
D1: We have to leave.
Yn: Aria, listen to me! Be a good girl, aunty Mimi will take you home okay?
D1: *holds her arm again*
S: *pissed* Can you not do that?
D1: Ah yeh! *lets go*
V: *takes Aria from Yn, even though she resists with all her energy, finally he frees Aria's tiny hand that held Yn's t-shirt tightly, that was enough to break Aria's patience, she started bawling out, starts hitting V's chest with her tiny hands* I want only mommy. *a few tear drops roll down his eyes too*
*Yn walks away with the two detectives on either side of her, they take her to a enclosed meeting room in the building in the floor of security forces and start interrogating her*
*In the studio, nobody uttered a word. V tried calming Aria down and distracting her. Aria suddenly calms down and sits on the corner of a bench leaning onto the wall, hugging her chimmy plushy*
V: Do you want to play Ari?
A: *nods in pout, indicating a no*
V: *sighs* Do you to eat a lollipop?
A: *nods saying no again*
*One of the stylist comes from behind*
S: Taehyung ah! Do you mind if I talk to her? My son is here today so they can play together.
V: *nods*
S: *kneels down in front of Aria, matching her eye level, slightly holds her arm* Aria?
A: *looks up at her, confused, with her red nose*
S: Do you want to come to me? You know Jun Jae right? Your friend, do you want to play with him?
A: *nods* Yes.
S: *slowly takes Aria into her arms, and pats her back* Omma will be back soon. Aarasso?
A: *nods and rests her head over her shoulder*
*V walks back to BTS, while Aria is accompanied by Jun Jae, he's a year older to her, but he knows him from the day care centre. Everybody was just lost in thoughts by the time V sat along with them*
Jimin: *gets up suddenly* You know what I'm going.
RM: Where?
Jimin: Wherever they took Yn. That lady once broke bones for our sake, and I'm never going to believe that she did something like this. And I don't like how the detective was treating her, I feel shitty not saying anything.
Jk: You think I feel good hyung? *mad*
Jimin: Don't get it started Jungkookah, I'm really disappointed in you.
V: Yaah! You can't say that. What if she really did it. We never know and the bank statements are saying something else right?
Jimin: I understand that. But he should have atleast asked her before reporting it.
V: That'll only make the culprit cautious. We were told all this from the beginning remember?
Jk: *shuts his eyes, a tear rolling down* P-please, please don't call her those names hyung!
Jimin: What makes you think that you have the right to say that? He just stated what we told, YOU accused her. And you know it better, for god's sake she has a kid!
RM: Yaah! Yaah! Stop it now. There's no point fighting among ourselves. I agree with both Jimin and Taehyung's points. Yes he should have asked but yes, if it really was her then- *sighs*
Suga: I trust my gut and it isn't Yn. She wasn't even around us.
Jk: I-I saw the footage and she came out of Hobi hyung's studio when he wasn't there.
Hobi: *shook* Yaah! Did you base it as the reason?
Jk: Yes.
Hobi: Jung-Jungkookah, Yn has been working on your birthday video in my studio. And I composed the song in my room and not in my studio.
Jk: *furrowing his brows* M-my birthday video?
Hobi: Yeah, she wanted it to be a surprise and it was too obvious working with Taehyung or Jimin. So-
Jimin: *scoffs* Wow! And the fact that somebody's just sitting here not bothering about what happened to their GIRLFRIEND-
RM: Park Jimin! That's enough.
Jimin: I'm leaving! Whatever you think of it. *leaves*
Suga: I'm sorry but I'm going to Yn as well. *leaves*
Jin & Hobi: *gets up and leaves slowly*
V: I-I'll check on Aria. *gets up and leaves*
Jk: *just looks down not saying anything*
RM: You do realise that I'm not leaving because I don't want to leave you alone.
Jk: *nods and looks to his side, where a few house cleaning staff were mopping the floor cleaning the drops of blood that trailed towards the door*
*The four come back and V also comes back from checking on Aria*
RM: What's happening?
Jimin: I couldn't find her. So we came to ask manager hyung.
M: I'll call them. *after call* *looks worried*
RM: What did they say?
M: For some reason they took her to the police station for further interrogation. She's under their custody.
Jk: WHAT!? THE STATION? *gets up and goes to grab his keys*
Suga: WHAT EVEN? WHY?
M: Where do you think you guys are going? Are you crazy? You just can't go into a station. We're trying hard keep the rumours away right now.
Jk: I DON'T CARE HYUNG!
*Bang PD enters the studio*
BPD: Namjoon and Yoongi come with me. Rest of you continue with the preparations for tomorrow's performance.
Jungkook: PDnim, C-can I join? We can't practice like this.
BPD: *serious* Does this seem like a joke to you guys? Get back to WORK!
BPD: Jungkook, do you know who's Yn's lawyer?
Jk: Ye. Dara.
BPD: Didn't she take a vacation and I think she's in states right now?
Jk: *shook* *remembers it* Y-yes.
BPD: *sighs* What the hell is even happening. Manager contact her and explain the situation. Jungkook, RM and Suga, we'll leave in 15 min. *leaves*
M: Ye!
*Meanwhile at Aria and Jun Jae*
JJ: *playing with Aria, looks at her dull face* *they converse in Korean usually* Do you not want to play this?
A: Aani.
JJ: Wey?
A: *hugs chimmy* Omma ga bhogoshipposso. (I miss mommy)
JJ: Do you want me to call my mom?
A: *nods* Aaniyo. *a tear rolls down*
JJ: Yaah! Uljimaaa. I hab a chocolate, do you want it?
A: *nods* Don't you want it?
JJ: We'll share.
A: I already ate a chocolate today.
JJ: So?
A: Mommy say only one chocolate one day. *wipes her tear away with the back of her tiny palm*
JJ: *pouts* Aarasso.
*The stylist observes Aria's behaviour and goes to BTS*
S: Which one of you is Aria most comfortable around?
V: That must be Jungkook. Weyo?
S: *worried* I don't think she's fine. She's welling up her emotions. A-and she's just a kid.
*Jungkook gets up immediately and goes to Aria and sits in front of her*
A: *doesn't look at him*
Jk: Do you want to play with me baby?
A: *looks down and nods saying no, while tears rolls down her cheek and she sniffs*
Jk: *he feels real bad looking at her like that, reaches out to hold her* Please don't cry baby. Mommy- POV: What will I say?
A: *curls away, hugging her chimmy tightly* *mumbles in her broken voice* NO! Only mommy!
V: Do you have an answer for that?
Jk: *looks down and nods* No. *sniffs and sobs* H-hyung.... I messed it up. *starts crying*
V: I'm glad you realised and we all messed it up.
*Mi-Young barges into the studio all mad. Jin controls her*
Jin: Mi- Young ah, let's not talk-
M: What the hell does he think? Is he crazy!? *to Jungkook*
*Jungkook's phone rings. It's Dara*
M: Well, I'll shut up right now. Good luck with Dara. *goes to Aria* Let's go baby.
A: *jumps to Mi-Young and she leaves immediately collecting Aria's stuff*
*Jungkook picks up the call*
Jk: Hello.
D: What the fuck is wrong with you?
Jk: Dara It's-
D: YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HER? Do you think her life just revolves around you? Is this what she gets for putting her entire trust in you? Getting arrested? You better have a valid point Jeon Jungkook, because this is something unacceptable. And do you even realise it takes me a minimum of 12 hours to reach there and Yn will be stuck in that room till then?
Jk: W-what?
D: What what? You thought she could get back home and go there again the next day? *still mad*
Jk: Dara, I messed up big this time but everything around me led to it.
D: I assume you guys had a better understanding and maybe you should have just asked her. You have pulled her into a huge mess Jungkook! *cuts the call*
*Jungkook just stays silent. It's true that mistakes can happen. But the situation is so wary. Not knowing who did it and having a lot of hints towards Yn, wether to suspect her or not, everything is so confusing, and not to forget the horrible guilt that BTS and especially Jungkook started feeling, it started eating him up from the inside, considering how soft he is. Maybe that's why people talk about not making a decision when you are angry. Breaking his chain of thoughts, the manager comes out with a news*
M: Guys! It was the co-producer. The new one.
RM: Oh my god!
M: Yeah. He got in a few months ago. Maybe in need of money. We found it through the footage in and around the building. He's taken away.
Jimin: *sighs* Since we found him can we get Yn back?
M: I-I don't think so.
RM: *confused* Why?
M: Yn's arrested and it has very less to do with us right now. By providing them with her bank statement we put her into a huge trouble. The transactions are huge for an international citizen and they say that it's against the rules or something so they said they need to interrogate further. Getting to know the source and making sure nothing illegal is happening. Until her lawyer get's back she's completely under their custody now.
Jk: *biting his lower lip and digging his nails into his palm, balling his fists out of all the mixed emotions* POV: What have I done?
*Later they leave for the station and the detective guide them through the back door into the surveillance room that is attached to the empty interrogation room with a table and chairs, and a glass that allowed them to see what's happening in the room but not vice versa*
Suga: Why did you have to bring her here? *mad*
D2: *looks around* I'm sorry, D1 is a senior to me and I had no say. And things don't look right to me, we already reported him secretly and we have a new one now, but it's too late since she's here.
*They enter the room and Jungkook's breath hitched looking at Yn. She was sitting on the chair with her legs crossed and her hands on her lap, looking down, emotionless and lost in space. He remembers the cut on her hand and his eyes wande checking if she's okay or if she got treated properly, but it wasn't visible much with her hands buried into her lap.*
D2: She choose to stay silent until her lawyer arrives. She says that it's something important to her.
BangPDnim: *sighs* Can we talk to her?
D2: Give me a minute. I'll let you communicate officially.
*All this while Jungkook just stood there looking at Yn who sat still, with just her eyes blinking. She sighs and stretches her hands onto the desk, touching the forehead over it. That's when they could see what around her hands. Apart from the white bandaid with a hint of blood from the wound, there were cuffs holding both of her hands together. Jungkook starts crying not able to take it anymore. He felt that he failed as her loved one. And the fact that he put her in those made him weak in his knees, he eventually collapses onto a chair beside him.*
Suga: *tears up* C-can you remove those? She's definitely not a criminal, what was the need?
D2: *nods* I'm sorry I couldn't do anything. I'll go now. We have to start the second round right now.
*He goes into the room, making Yn lift her head up from the table. She sits up and again her hands are over her lap, while she un-crossed her legs*
D2: *shows the key signalling her to put her hands on the table and opens the cuffs*
Jk: *sees the bright red lined bruises around her wrist* *at this point he doesn't even know how to react*
D2: BangPDnim, Namjoonssi, Sugassi and Jungkookssi are here. *points to the glass*
Yn: *doesn't even look at the glass* So?
D2: *sighs* *puts the same bill in front of her again* We got out your previous statements Ynssi. Why don't you just tell us the reason you are receiving a lot of money from them?
Yn: *calm* I told you already. I can only speak once my lawyer is here. Mr.?
D2: Kang. Mr. Kang!
Yn: Yeah so Mr. Kang I have some legal motifs involved too. I can't just blurt out whenever I want.
D2: *nods* Your lawyer takes 7 more hours to reach. You sure you want to just sit in this room?
Yn: Do I have another option? *shrugs*
D2: Yes! But you are not choosing it. Soo.....
Yn: *nods* I can help you catch the culprit in the meanwhile.
D2: *shook* How?
Yn: As now you are well aware that I have a connection with them, I have my contacts. Basically one, that can get you the info.
D2: Why do you want to do it? Aren't you mad that you are accused?
Yn: I am. But that doesn't change the fact that they worked so hard for this.
RM: I feel horrible. Real horrible.
Suga: I'm going in.
BangPDnim: Let's go.
*They enter the room and Yn doesn't even care to look at them*
Yn: Do I have the right to refuse any visitors?
D2: No! You guys have 5 min.
Yn: *sighs* I can't bare with this shit right now! I'm already in one anyway.
RM: *sighs* Yn we're sorry. Let's fix this up and get you out.
Yn: *looks at him all mad* Yeah, you can say whatever you want. You can put people inside as per your wish and then also get them out. I wish I could clap right now, but sorry my hands hurt. And thanks to you for that as well.
RM: Yn, we never thought that you'll be treated this way. This wasn't our intention. So please listen to us.
*Jungkook stays silent looking down at the floor*
Yn: NO! WHY SHOULD I? DID YOU LISTEN TO ME, WHEN I HAD SOMETHING TO SAY? HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN JUST SWEET TALK RIGHT NOW AND CALM ME DOWN!
Jk: MIND YOUR WORDS YN!
Yn: WOW! Look who's tongue finally got back into his mouth! *scoffs tearing up*
Jk: Just so you know, I'm not enjoying any of this. And I feel horrible and I know that I have messed up but you have no right to yell or talk like that to Namjoon hyung.
Yn: Why? BTS comes first to all of you right? Then bear with it. Bear with what your 'little one' did.
Jk: ENOUGH!
Yn: DON'T YOU DARE RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME JEON JUNGKOOK! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THAT! AND THE AUDACITY FOR YOU TO COME BACK TO JUST YELL AT ME, AFTER ACCUSING ME AND PUTTING ME IN THIS HORRIBLE STATE! DID YOU EVEN BOTHER TO ASK? NO RIGHT? THEN DON'T BOTHER ABOUT ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING BECAUSE OF 'YOU' RIGHT NOW! *tears pouring down*
Suga: Yn, calm down. Please.
Jk: *just walks towards Yn and pulls her up harshly by her arm and hugs her tight over her shoulders, burying his face onto her shoulder*
Yn: Jungkook let go! *tries to push him away, but she is too weak to do that*
Jk: *tightens his grip*
Yn: I said let goooo! *cries onto his shoulder* *mad*
Jk's POV: I know what that means. I'm not letting go Yn.
D2: I'm sorry. But you have to leave Jungkookssi.
Yn: *talks between sobs* P-please let go! I-It's h-hurting.
Jk: *looks at her with his reddened features furrowing his brows till the point they meet each other* W-where? *panics* *looks at her while she's still looking down* Y-Yn, where? *scrouches down to meet her eyes* YN ANSWER ME!
D2: We'll take care of her. Please leave now! I won't be able to help you further if you don't follow the rules now. Jungkookssi please!
Jk: Just give me 2 more minutes please! *looks at Yn* *extreme panic filled on his face* Yaah! Talk to me, where? Is it your hand? Yn, you can be mad at me but-
RM: *holds Jungkook's arm* Let's go.
Jk: Hyung please!
Suga: Let's go now! *They forcefully walk him out*
Jk: *hugs RM immediately and cries onto his shoulder*
BangPDnim: Yn?
Yn: *sits back in the chair weakly* Ye!
BPD: Did you do anything wrong?
Yn: *looks at him genuinely* No. I would never.
BPD: *nods* We all owe you an apology. Just understand that none of us meant it.
Yn: *nods* Dara will be here soon. I request you to be here when we reveal and clear things. And PDnim, I request it only to be you.
BPD: *nods* Where were you hurting?
Yn: *sighs* My head and whole arm. I guess I need some pain killers and a proper dressing *shows him her hand*
BPD: I'll talk to them. *pauses* Yn why are choosing the hard way?
Yn: Because It's the correct way. And just so you know, I never do anything against my ethics.
BPD: I got a clear idea about it now. *pauses* I should leave now. We'll be behind that glass.
Yn: Is Dara on her way?
BPD: Yeah. She should be here by tomorrow morning.
Yn: *nods* PDnim?
BPD: Hmmm?
Yn: Can somebody update me on Aria, ...... and *pauses* *lets out a huge sigh* Don't let Jungkook blame himself too much. *looks down*
