"I'm home" Jungkook announced as soon as he entered the living room, only to see Yoongi sitting on the couch,  rubbing his temples, looking tensed with his gaze fixated on the laptop in front of him.

"What happened?" Jungkook asked, approaching Yoongi to take a look.

It was a video clip of the press conference

"Woah. That was quick." Jungkook commented dryly.

"What bullshit is this?" Yoongi wanted to know

"I have no idea." Jungkook sighed. "None of our missions were related to his dad, right?" Jungkook inquired

Yoongi shook his head. "No. As far as I know, his father was a nice man. There's no chance of him being our target."

"Then why is that actor saying I killed his father?" Jungkook asked to no one in particular.

"Don't worry Jungkook, we'll find a way." Yoongi assured him

"I already did." Jungkook sat on the couch beside Yoongi.

"Huh?"

And then Jungkook told him the conversation he had with you a while ago.

There was a moment of silence as soon as Jungkook was done telling everything.

"I know you're not fond of this-

"No." Yoongi cut Jungkook off. "I can understand, Jungkook. I think what you're doing..... might not be the best option but it still can be helpful." He added

Jungkook smiled at that.

Jungkook never would've imagined he'd join a reporter in the task of proving himself innocent, never. But everything that happened this morning left him with no choice.

The way Taehyung accused Jungkook of being his father's murderer hurt him, honestly. Jungkook always believed that he has no right to take anyone's life as he wasn't the one who gave it in the first place.

On top of that, he could never ever take someone's FATHER away from them, not after what happened that night.

This allegation just felt so wrong to Jungkook that he decided to do anything to prove himself innocent. Not only that, he also wanted the real culprit to pay for his sin.

"Jungkook?" Yoongi interrupted his thoughts.

"Are you okay?" He inquired.

"I am. Don't worry. I'll prove myself innocent." Jungkook assured him.

"Let me know if you need my help." Yoongi patted Jungkook's shoulder. "Anytime." He added

Jungkook nodded, smiling faintly.

———–——–—

After the conference, you decided to let Jungkook head home already since he didn't seem to be okay.

Now here you were, standing in front of Namjoon and getting scolded.

"So you're really telling me you didn't record him while he was talking about his father?" He asked for the nth time, as if it was going to change your answer.

"No." You answered...again.

You didn't know why Jungkook didn't record it but whatever the reason was you weren't mad at him. Instead you were proud of him for not taking advantage of the situation.

You didn't mind getting lectured for that.

"It's all in the headlines, Y/N. And we don't have a clip of it even when our reporters were present there." Namjoon raised his voice startling you.

"I think the camera stopped working in the meantime." You lied, well, at least you tried to.

"I'm not gonna fall for that." Namjoon clicked his tongue, clearly annoyed.

"I can fix it, Sir."

"How so?" Namjoon asked

"If you would allow me, I can try to reach out to Taehyung and ask him personally about this. I, with my partner, can research more on this." You said, getting more and more quiet with each word.

"You really think Taehyung would let you do that?" Namjoon wanted to know.

"I can try." You tried to convince him.

"Shut it already." Namjoon fake laughed.

"Please Sir, give me a chance." You begged.

"Alright. Convince Taehyung to cooperate till tomorrow night and I'll let you research on this." Namjoon offered.

Tomorrow night? It was quite difficult to do that, seeing how Taehyung wasn't really comfortable about this.

But it was now or never.

"I'm okay with that." You uttered, surprising Namjoon a little.

——————
"Now stop frowning, will you?" Jimin smiled.

"I don't know how to do this, Jimin. I don't know what happened to me in the office that I acted so brave. But now that I think about it, it seems impossible." You started banging your head against the table.

"Stop it now." Jimin said, placing his palm beneath your head to stop you from hurting yourself.

You looked up and sighed.

"Where is your partner by the way? Jimin asked

"I let him head home." You informed

"He doesn't seem like a responsible partner. If only I was your partner..." Jimin trailed off

"No thanks. That boy is 10 times beter than you." You raised your palm

"Ouch? That hurt." Jimin placed his hand on his chest, acting like he was hurt.

"Oh shut up." You shook your head, smiling. "Anyways how's your work going?" You then asked

"Well, cops found nothing other than that star. Just like always the three men didn't see his face and he stole their money. Nothing new." Jimin informed. "They're most likely to close this case just like others." He sighed

You nodded. "He really is something else." You remarked


"I can't believe that girl really thinks she can do this." Namjoon scoffed, spotting you talking about your current task with Jimin in the cafeteria.

"We can't really say anything, Sir. What if she succeeds?" Hosoek smiled

"You know-

Suddenly Namjoon's phone rang interrupting his conversation with Hoseok.

The name SEOKJIN flashed on the screen, making him roll his eyes.

"Excuse me." With that he walked away to receive the call. Hosoek just nodded

"How many times am I supposed to tell to not call me when I'm at work?" Namjoon uttered through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to invite you to my birthday party. We are going to celebrate it at my Bakery." Seokjin happily informed.

"Oh please. For your information, I'm a CEO. I don't have time to do partys like you. You can do whatever the fuck you want at that stupid bakery of yours." Namjoon ended the call rudely.

On the other side, Seokjin just sighed. "Just like I thought."

——————

"Just do it already." Jungkook urged, watching you hesitate to call Taehyung's manager.

Taking a deep breath, you dialed the number.

"Hello?" A voice answered.

"Hello. It's a reporter from BBC NEWS. We'd like to-

"I already know what this is about. We've received hundreds of calls like this." The manager cut you off.

"Mr. Kim Taehyung is going to stay away from media for few months. He even canceled the promotions. We are really sorry." He added, crushing all your hopes.

"But Sir-

"No." He didn't even let you finish.

He really was pushing you to your limits.

"Fine. It's not like I'm dying to talk to you!" With that you ended the call, breathing heavily due to anger.

Jungkook was sitting there shook by your sudden outburst.

"I didn't sleep properly last night because I was so worried for what was going to happen and this jerk just has to act rude to me while I was being polite? I only have time till this night and this man?" You started ranting

"Okay Jeez. Breathe some air first." Jungkook started fanning your face.

Following his advice, you took deep breaths to calm yourself down.

And that was when the reality hit you, straight in the face. It was your one and only chance that you ruined, totally.

"I fucked up, didn't I?" You asked Jungkook the obvious fact.

"Looks like it." He nodded

"Great!" You exclaimed. "Now what?" You fake cried.

"Lemme think of a way." Jungkook insisted

——————
"What do you want now?" Yoongi sighed as soon as he recieved the call from Jungkook.

"That Taeyong's phone number." Jungkook simply answered.

"First of all, it's Taehyung and nextly, why?" Yoongi wanted to know.

"I want it because... I need it?" Jungkook said, knowing himself it made no sense.

"Just say it's because of Y/N." Yoongi snickered

"No." Jungkook answerd, a bit too quickly. "Well, maybe." He then corrected.

"What?" Yoongi asked, amused

"It's for us." Jungkook then answered. "For our task, remember?"

"Whatever. I'll text you the number in a few minutes." Yoongi informed, getting on the work right away.

Jungkook just hummed and ended the call.

"Who were you talking to, secretly in a corner?" A voice asked, startling Jungkook.

Jimin.

"What the fuck do you want ?" Jungkook asked, rolling his eyes

"I don't see you talking like this with
Y/N."

"I give you special treatment." Jungkook fake smiled

"Aww.... I feel loved." Jimin joked.

"If you two are done flirting then I'd like to say, Jungkook, Y/N is looking for you." Hosoek appeared all of a sudden.

"Oh. Thanks for informing." With that, Jungkook left.

"Why is it always you?" Jimin asked, turning to face Hoseok

"Why are you always after him?" Hoseok asked instead

"I'm not." Jimin quickly denied

"Sure" Hosoek shrugged

—————
Yoongi was taking a nap on his chair when his phone rang. He groaned and picked it up.

"Hey! Remember the money you told me to donate to the the children hospital?" The voice of a man asked from the other side.

"Yes. Did you donate it?" Yoongi asked

"Yes. I just got out of the hospital and don't worry, I hid my face all the time and also I gave your note to them. They'll use it for the treatments." The other male answered.

"That's good to know. You did a great job, thanks." Yoongi said, rubbing his eyes

"I'm your spy after all."

"Of course you are." Yoongi laughed. "Hey, how do you think is Jungkook doing?" He then asked

"Considering how it's his first time facing all this, he's unexpectedly doing good." The other male answered

"I'm sure he'll find a way." Yoongi smiled.

"Of course he will. He's the Black Knight after all."
