"So much happened and you guys didn't even tell me." Namjoon chided.

"We would have told you at lunch time but there wasn't really a good moment for that if you have forgotten." Suga said.

"This was more important than anything. I could've postponed lunch with Jungkook to tomorrow." Namjoon said.

They were all gathered at Namjoon and Jin's place to plan about what to do with Taehyung's problem. After they were done retelling what happened at the principal's to Namjoon they were all trying to come up with a solution. Hence Namjoon's outburst earlier.

"Joonie that is not important right now. Right now we need to figure out how to get Tae out of this situation." Jin said

"Tae you said you needed Suga to do something for you when we were outside the principal's office. What was it?" Hobi asked

"Tae wanted me to find information about that guy he beat up. To see if we can dig up some dirt on him." Suga answered.

"And did you find something?" Jimin asked.

"Yeah we did." Suga said

"Well spit it out Suga." Jin said being impatient.

Tae who was quite till now spoke up.

"Well when me and Jimin were in principal's room he mentioned that the guy was a new transfer student which means he is either a 2nd year or a final year student. And that got me thinking why would anyone transfer to another college in the middle? It just seemed fishy. I was just reaching but I still asked Suga to find everything he can about him and to my luck I wasn't wrong about my assumptions." Tae finished explaining.

"Yes like Tae said there was a reason for his transfer and it didn't even take that much effort to find out to be honest. Apparently the guy is a bona-fide pervert. In his previous college there were a lot of complaints against him from both boys and girls for sexual harassment. His parents are rich so they always managed to sweep everything under the rug. But to his bad luck the last girl he assaulted belonged to a very influential family. His parents couldn't rescue him this time and he was kicked out from there. And that's how he ended up here at our college." Suga finished telling.

"How the hell did he get admission in our college. That asshole deserved everything he got and I am not just saying that because of Jimin." Jin said

"So what do you want to do with this information?" Hobi asked.

"To be honest when I asked Suga to dig up his info I was kinda hoping to find something to blackmail him with so that his parents won't file a complaint against me. But considering how easy it was for Suga to obtain these information it doesn't look like it's a secret that they are trying to hide. And everyone at his previous college already knows about the scandal. So now I am at a loss as to what to do." Tae said

"You know Tae, you are a really smart guy but sometimes you can be really dense." Namjoon said

"Huh what do you mean Joon?" Tae questioned.

"Tae you didn't have to go to all these lengths to be honest. You could have solved everything without even lifting a finger. Sometimes you forget the power a name holds. Just leave it to me I'll handle it." Namjoon said getting ready to leave.

"Where are you going?" Jin asked.

"Where else to the hospital to pay that guy's parents a visit." Namjoon said winking before walking away.

"Do you guys have any clue what he is planning to do?" Jimin asked

"Not a clue." Hobi answered.

"Well we don't have any other option other than to wait for Joon to come back. What do you guys want to do till then?" Jin asked

"What do you guys think about Jungkook?" Hobi asked suddenly.

The mention of Jungkook's name immediately reminded Tae of his beautiful bunny smile. To be honest Taehyung have been thinking about him a lot after he met him. It would be a lie if he said that Jungkook didn't make an impression on him. Infact ever since he saw his crying face at the cemetery it was stuck in his mind. And he doesn't know what to make of it.

"What about him?" Tae asked coming out of his thoughts.

"Well what does everyone think about him. What are your impressions. Is he worthy of being a part of our group?" Hobi asked elaborating his question.

"Well I for one loved him. I could see what Joonie meant when he said that he felt protective towards him. He is really adorable and cute. I don't know about him being a part of our group since we literally just met him and we still don't know anything about him. But as for being his friend there is no question about that. I would love to be his friend." Jin answered

"I agree with Jin. I too would love to have him as a friend and as for being a part of our group I think it's too early for that. We should wait until we get to know him better. Till then I wouldn't mind having him on our table during lunch. What do you think Tae?" Jimin said.

"I have no problem with it if he wants to be our friend. But you should know that Bangtans will always come first for me and if he is like others who wants to take advantage of us then I wouldn't hesitate to show him his place." Tae said.

"Fair enough what about you Suga. You are being quite." Hobi asked

"I am fine with it but don't expect me to talk to him. I'll talk if I have something to say otherwise I won't. You guys know me I don't like unnecessary chatter. As for him joining us at lunch I don't see a problem as long as I don't have to participate in your stupid bickering.." Suga answered.

"As expected." Jin said

"Well does this mean we are going to have a new person at our table from tomorrow. This is going to be fun." Hobi said

Meanwhile with Namjoon.

"Hello, my name is Kim Namjoon. I am from Paragon Newspaper. I am here to meet a patient by the name Kang il seong." Namjoon told the receptionist at the Seoul National Hospital.

"Give me a minute sir. Mr.Kang is admitted in room 411, 4th floor. The visiting hours will be over in another 20 minutes. So you need to make it fast." The receptionist answered.

"Thank you so much and I'll be quick." Namjoon said.

Within no time Namjoon was standing outside room 411. He knocked on the door and went straight in. He saw Kang il seong lying on the bed with bandages all over and a very stoic women and a tired looking man sitting on the couch. He assumed they must be his parents.

"Who are you and what do you want?" The woman asked

"Hello Sir, hello mam let me introduce myself. I am Kim Namjoon from Paragon newspaper. I also happened to be a student at SNU. I heard what happened to your son and I am here to interview him and you if you don't mind for my newspaper." Namjoon said

"What do you mean your newspaper?" The lady asked

"Well my father is Kim dae suk. You may have heard of him. He is the owner of Paragon. And I am his son. I also write articles for the newspaper every now and then." Namjoon answered.

The moment Namjoon mentioned his father's name he could see the expression on the woman's face change. All of a sudden she became all smiles.

"Aww why didn't you just say so. We would love to give an interview. You can see within your own eyes how my son who is innocent was the victim of bullying at his new college." The woman answered with fake concern.

"Speaking of your son being new at SNU, we heard he is a transfer student and the reason for that is he was kicked out of his previous college because of sexual harassment. Is that true Mrs. Kang?" Namjoon questioned.

Namjoon could see the colour draining from her face when he said that.

"Who told you that. That's a complete lie. My son was innocent, he was falsely accused." The woman said somewhat coldly.

"That's what I thought too Mrs.kang. I also heard that he was beaten up because he was trying to assault another student at SNU. What do you have to say about that mam?" Namjoon questioned.

"My son is the victim here. He was the one beaten up and about all these allegations they are not true at all. My son is rich so boys and girls always throws themselves on him. How is it my son's fault. If anything it's that boys fault. He must have tried to seduce my son when he found out that he is rich." The woman said.

"That means you don't know who that boy was then." Namjoon asked

"Who cares about some boy. All they want is money. And when my son doesn't show any interest in them they falsely accuse him of assault."

"Well since you don't know who that boy is let me tell you. His name is Park Jimin, son of Park Jae Sung, current CEO of KP Corp. And the boy who beat up your son his name is Kim Taehyung, future heir of KP Corp who also happens to be Jimin's cousin brother. As far as I know KP Corp owns half of Korea and is 10 times richer than you. So money is definitely not an issue for them. And according to my sources I also heard that KP Corp CEO and Jimin's father is furious about what happened to his son and is meeting with his lawyers to take action against your son. But you shouldn't worry. You have the complete support of Paragon Newspaper. So what if your son is a repeat sexual offender that still doesn't mean he deserved to get beat up. And I am sure if this goes to court your son will have all the public support. I wish you all the best against your battle with KP Corp." Namjoon wrapped it up.

He could see the woman going paler and paler by the second Namjoon kept talking. Mr.Kang who was silent all this time suddenly spoke up.

"We are not filing a lawsuit against KP Corp. I am sure this was all a big misunderstanding. Our son wasn't beat up. He was involved in a hit and run. And we were just about to withdraw our complaint with the college just now before you walked in. So as you can see there is no story to write. But is it true about what you said that KP Corp is going to file a complaint against our son?"Mr.Kang asked.

"Well I am just telling you what I know. But according to me they are only doing this because you gave a complaint to the college authorities. They are just trying to get ahead of the problem. But if you were to withdraw your complaint I am sure they wouldn't go ahead with the lawsuit. After all they also wouldn't want their sons name to be tarnished. But if I were you I would keep your son away from SNU altogether. Maybe you should send him somewhere abroad since money isn't an issue for you." Namjoon said trying to be as sincere as possible.

Namjoon took their leave. He could see the wheels turning in their head. He is 100% sure that his words has hit the bullseye. He could see that on their faces. Namjoon doesn't like getting his hands dirty if there is an alternative solution. And there is a reason he became a column writer at such a young age. He has a way with words and he knows exactly what to say and how to say it. And when Namjoon speaks everyone listens. Maybe that's why he is the best at what he does. He couldn't wait to meet the guys and tell them the good news.

As soon as he walked into his apartment that he shares with his boyfriend Jin he was bombarded with questions. And throughout his exploration he could see their expression go from anger to surprise to shock. By the time he was done there was pin drop silence before everyone started jumping and throwing themselves onto him.

"Waah I can't believe this. It sounds like something out of a movie. You are so cool Joon. I wish I could've seen their faces. But I am happy that everything is fine now." Jimin said while everyone agreed with him.

"Thanks Joon, I owe you one." Tae said hugging Joon.

"No need for thanks Tae, you would have done the same for me. Besides I haven't had that much fun in a long time." Namjoon said laughing.

And that's how they spend their evening, together as always.
