Three ruminating weeks passed, a feeling of endless hours battling for answers and solitude. However, a verdict was reached - one which served both justice and an end to worries - or the biggest ones from that jar. 

"Kim Jungsik, you have been convicted guilty of 16 out of 18 crimes. As these include child abuse and other forms of verbal abuse, your children will no longer be placed in your care and into the arms of Mr. Park and Mrs. Park as well as Mr. Choi and Mrs. Choi. You will not be allowed to contact them without physical permission, and you will no longer be allowed the right to adopt children and pets. You have also been sentenced to fifteen years of jail and will be reassessed in the 13th year of conviction."

The statement was a long one, yet so quickly brought a smile to many people's faces - obviously not Mr. Kim's. He was furious, irate, and vexed with rage that brought him to scream "I'm not guilty of anything! The only thing I could possibly be guilty of is being right-"

"Mr. Kim, silence!" 

The man zipped his lips as he looked around at the shocked and distasted faces around him, and as he got dragged out just as he came in - this time with his arms locked in handcuffs, he chuckled one last time, "You'll pay for this, you both will." 

He spat at the ground, trying to shake from the grip which only tightened around him in hostility. Once a father, now a criminal with nothing more than an orange jumpsuit.

...

In all honesty, Taehyung was too scared to go to the verdict, so he stayed home, picking at his nails and hiding beneath three blankets and a duvet - bearing in mind it was nearing the summer heatwaves this week. 

His phone buzzed, a message from Jungkook brightening the forlorn frown he had all morning. It didn't read anything other than, "Can I call you?", and his stomach never grumbled so hopelessly. 

He didn't want to hear anything. He just wanted to box himself under these covers, close his eyes, and hope the black stars that he'd see would sink into nothingness.

And yet, that black drift waned into another bright notification from no other than Jungkook, "Please call me."

Taehyung sighed, unlocking his phone and calling him, the dial tone stopping after one second.

"Hey, you ok?" Jungkook asked, "I've got news."

"Good or bad?"

"Good - but turn on your video first." 

Taehyung grumbled, pushing himself out of the cocoon he buried himself in and mumbling, "Do I have to?"

"Yes, you do." Jungkook's face appeared on the screen as Taehyung turned on the video call option, and the star had a smiley expression on his face, "Justice has been served."

"Justice?"

"You know, that thing when something is made right - your dad is out of the picture - like forever. Well, he's locked up for 15 years-"

"How's Yeonjun? Is 15 enough?"

"He's fine. He went to go get ice cream with Soobin and Beomgyu. That reminds me, you're fine that he's going to be with the Choi family, right? You'll still probably have similar support just under two roofs, and I mean your only a road apart so it shouldn't be that bad."

"It's fine. Am I staying with Jimin then?"

"For the time being, yes. But you know, the future might look a little different if you're catching my drift." He smirks at the camera, "You and me, and-"

"Shhhh," Taehyung blushes, "What am I meant to do now?"

"I don't know- party?"

"Mmm, you know I'm that type of person who sits at the food during the parties and questions why cheese and onion crisps are sitting at the bar when everyone plans on kissing everyone."

"Ok ok, well, regardless of what you do, come out of that weird nest you've made because I'm picking you up in 20."

"In 20 minutes! I can't even shower in five, and I've got to do my hair-"

"I'll wait," He smiles, "See you then, Tae."

...
