Silence had fallen into the room as they were awaiting for your response and you could feel the tension in the atmosphere , as they must be anxious to know whom was that person that you had in mind and you decided to not let them wait any longer. You weren't sure if the information could be helpful or it was accurate however you had to share your current doubts.

"Back then, MinHee had mentioned a woman. She didn't know much of her, expect the fact that TaeYong seemed to be talking secretly with her behind her back. She had told me that she had seen some texts between them and she sounded quiet obsessed with him however TaeYong had denied any relationship with that woman, who's name i never learned. Back then my friend was insecure about it but she believed in his love and reassured herself he wan't cheating or anything  along those lines and that woman was only an obsessed person that as he claimed ,he didn't privately know."

You presented the suspicious character that you had in mind, finding her the only person that would want TaeYong to be single ,even though unlike MinHee, you had never believed TaeYong's claims about her. In the contrary, you strongly believed that he was involved with her and maybe MinHee had found out about and had gotten heartbroken enough to commit suicide. You had married him , in thoughts of never letting him be happy with that woman and taking revenge about your friend however those conclusions where now being shaken as the fact that she committed suicide was in great doubt.

"I see. She fits well knowing that the one after your life is also a female." Namjoon spoke his thoughts as he retrieved his notebook and noted that down.

"Can you enlighten me how do you know of such a fact, Mr Officer?" You asked him as you really wanted to know how he had ended up to such truth however Namjoon was not able to respond truthful to that question because if he was to, he would be exposing Jimin, so instead ,after giving a quick look at Jimin whom showed concern as they locked eyes, he looked at you,discarding your curiousity with a simple response .

" The Police has it's ways of getting information. Someone that wants to commit a crime has to necessarily get involved with people of the night and as thus you just have to know the right people to ask and of course pay the price for them to answer." His words sounded logical and full despite the fact that he had not answered at all what you were asking to know. He used facts to tear your thoughts away from the real core of your question as skillfully as he usually manages to .

"Any other possible information that you find important to share with us Mrs Lee?" He followed his speech with a question in order to direct your thoughts away and you took a moment to think ,contemplating if  for now there was no need to talk about the contract that you and TaeYong had as that would make him a suspect however now that you think of it, there was one more woman whom didn't particularly liked you at TaeYong's side. Knowing of the contract ,your death would definitely be beneficial but still thinking of her capable of such a thing was too far fetched. She was noisy and grumpy but you didn't have her capable of such a deed. Yet  the doubt was there. It was not easy to fully trust anyone in this life.

"Do you perhaps have any other suspects in your mind, Mrs Y/N?" Jimin questioned you as your silence gave a clear image of hesitation.

"It's just a thought, however i will go ahead and share this with you Officer, just so we will be in the same page." You firmly looked at him as you took the courage to let out that secret that was kept between TaeYong's  and your family only.

"A contract exists between me and my husband. That contract bounds us to stay together. In case that someone requests devorce he immediately loses the profits that the contract has priviously gave them.  If the breaking of the wedding is someone's fault, the other party takes full possession of the other's company wealth as well as maintains the profits initially given. It's a business move made to unite and financially support our companies in order for both of them to profit and rise higher. The consequences however are devastated because of the simple fact that both sides are highly greedy and in reality , i think both sides are just gambling on the relationship of my husband and I. They are just expecting someone to make a mistake so the other one can take over. " Your words were presented in a casual tone , as if such an information was not bothering you at all. And truth was that you had just gotten used to it . You weren't planning to lose your father's company after all nor you were planning to stay married to TaeYong forever. Your goal was something bigger than their stupid money and that was why your focus wasn't on quickly finding something to make TaeYong guilty of and get the divorce on your profit. You wanted him to suffer and pay for her death, so you were planning to stay along as long as it would take, for him to start going mad in thoughts of her.

The two men fell silent at the information you just shared with them and now, it made sense why the relationship between you two was so sudden and it didn't look the best.

Jimin now understood better why TaeYong needed you to cheat on him and he couldn't help but feel mad towards him for using such methods to get what he wanted. His unfair and sneaky method however was him himself and that hurt him a bit inside, as under normal circumstances he would have never agreed to be  part of  such a thing.

 He felt like filth at that moment, a wave of guilt hitting him as well as sympathy for you as he knew he wasn't able to step back either. His accomplishment was going to be your doom and that was clear now however he had  a strong reason he needed to succeed and despite the fact of how much he hated the situation he was in at that very instant, there was no other way out.

"That gives new options to the case. I will proceed looking up to any females of his family and their recent activities." Namjoon calmly received the information and stood up from his chair.

"I am thankful for the cooperation Mrs Lee. I will keep you informed through Jimin for anything i may found. For now, remain at his company and you will be safe. Except if you want me to send any police officers  to guard you just in case?" Namjoon suggested and you stood up as well before replying to him.

"I would prefer if we didn't attract much attention. I will be fine. Do not worry." You reassured him even though you weren't exactly sure about it yourself however if someone out there was out to get you, then you were determined to not make it easy for them. You had a goal to accomplish and no one was going to get rid of you before that. You just couldn't die, without knowing the truth, without having justice. Without being able to go and look at her grave and tell her that she can rest in peace now.

"It shall be like that then. I will take my leave now. Have a good night." He bowed to you as he excused himself and you bowed as well, giving him a proper goodbye then Jimin proceeded to accompany him till out the door, while you stayed there.

"Well that was unexpected ."NamJoon commented as soon as he stepped outside and halted his feet to look at Jimin whom had closed the door behind him.

"Indeed." Was all Jimin replied with ,avoiding to make eye contact as he knew what his hyung might be thinking.

"Jimin, i know this may not be the best of times,especially after that, however i came here because i have some news to tell you which..are unfortunate ." His words instantly put worry in Jimin's mind and he looked at him immediately.

"What's wrong? Did anything happen to  Sujae? Or ..dad? Is Dad okay? They are all safe, right?" He bombarded him with questions displaying a bit of the scary thoughts that instantly crossed his mind.

"Calm down. They are all okay. SuJae will be returning home tomorrow. I will take them home safe and sound , you have nothing to worry." Namjoon reassured him quickly however the hesitation was visible in his eyes, unsure if he should really tell him after all.

"Then what is it?" Namjoon remained silent for a little more, finding it more and more difficult every moment that  went by. 

"Hyung! Tell me ,please!" Jimin's gaze was pleading as he now knew that something must be every wrong for his best friend to act so scared to tell him.

"A murder case was brought  to us this morning. I took the case. The victim is someone you know." He finally spoke, putting Jimin's anxiety to a stop and letting a new emotion take over him. That of surprise as his mind instantly jumped somewhere.

"Manuel?! He..he is dead?!" He questioned out loud with an expression that showed the shock and unpleasantness that had taken over his heart at that instant.

"I am sorry Jimin. I am afraid so." Namjoon seemed sad too as of course he wasn't pleased with the news of his death not because he knew him or anything however he knew Jimin well and despite the fact that they weren't in the best of terms, he used to be friends with him once upon a time and it was logical for him to probably feel hurt by the news.

NamJoon stepped forward and gave a hug to Jimin while he fell silent, he patted his back once and twice, trying to give him a bit of comfort.

" Take care of yourself , okay? I have to go now." He broke the hug and looked at his eyes as he spoke to him, noticing how Jimin seemed still lost in his thoughts, however he couldn't stay longer . He knew that he will be okay as he was just momentarily shocked or such of a case he hoped to be.

NamJoon took his leave and Jimin stood there till he watched him get into his vehicle and soon disappear into the night. His mind was stuck at the fact that Manuel was dead as it was such an unbelievable fact in his head. He was always like a snake, dodging the dangers of his life with a smile on his lips.

He was not a bad person deep down and Jimin knew that despite all the anger that he had against  him after that mission in which of because his betrayal , Jimin almost got caught. He couldn't afford to go to jail after all and he used to trust him fully till that night. After that event ,Jimin was mad at him, not just because he left him behind but because he broke his heart and his trust. He considered him his friend after all. He knew well though that friendship is  nothing but an illusion in such hours of the night, inside the darkness yet still he just had that kind of heart that tended to find light, even in the places that didn't really exist.

He had had a rough life. He wasn't born a criminal nor was born a killer. He had just  made plenty of wrong choices from which  after a while, he could no longer escape. Life can get vicious sometimes, caging you in endless circles of hell which once you enter them ,you will never be able to go back. Such was his case and from the moment Jimin had met him, Manuel had became his example. He would look at him and always be reminded what could happen if he was to slip in too deep into the darkness and his existence itself had helped him keep himself on that border line for quiet a long time.

In a way , he owed him. In a way, he pitied him. In times , he really craved to save him however it was too late for such hopes and delusions now. His soul was now lost. He was now gone and that itself was as disappointing of a fact as much as it was hurtfull.

"Jimin?" He heard your voice calling his name, and he felt unable to turn around as his facial expression was displaying his current emotions which he thought of as better hidden from you. However as he took his time standing there, looking ahead, you had approached him and stepped in front of him.

His eyes widened as he took sight of your glossy eyes, that portrayed pain and sadness. He was taken aback as he didn't know what happened to bring you to such a state.

"Y/N? What happened? Why are you crying baby?" He placed his hands on your cheeks without any hesitation and gently made you look at him, as he left you see his concerned expression for you that somehow, broke you a bit more.

You had overheard their conversation and you couldn't help but feel emotional as you knew well the pain of losing a friend. You had been talking about her a lot today and your emotions had been already charged ,making this moment touch you deeply. You didn't know much of whom that Manuel was or what he meant to him, but it was obvious that Jimin seemed taken aback by the news of his death and you couldn't help but sympathise . 

"I am not crying. I am okay , I ..just..I am sorry you had to feel this." You told him as you took a deep breath, taking hold of your  emotions and suppressing them all in your chest that started burning and aching.

Jimin's eyes softened at your words, realising why those tears were fogging your eyes. He understood how many bad memories this may be bringing to you and he couldn't help but find you  so pure at that moment.  No one had ever said to him that they were sorry of something he may have been going through and mean it to the extend that you were. No one had ever showed him how much they would wish for him to not have known that pain,as your eyes were telling him that you did and at that moment he couldn't help but understand how much her death had really killed you.

He might never be able to fully grasp your feelings but he couldn't deny that if the you of right this moment, with that gaze full of pain, was carrying even a tiny bit of your pain of the you of the past, then there was no doubt, you had been hurt a lot.

"Don't be sorry. I am okay..I will be okay. I have you." He pulled you in a hug and kept you tight and you closed your eyes, as you hugged him back tightly, wanting to comfort him, even a bit. You knew that you couldn't erase the pain, but at least you wanted to do what no one ever tried to do back then for you.

"Yes, You have me. You have me."  You mumbled, thinking of his heart aching like yours used to do and Jimin's heart couldn't help but start thumbing loudly at that moment while his body felt secured in your warm embrace.

He couldn't help but feel the warmth of your soul, he could help but be touched from your kindness, he couldn't help but feel like he was falling in love with the capability of your heart to feel for others.

Right that instant, he couldn't help but think that he wanted to have this feeling forever.  He must have grew greedy but it was out of his control . He couldn't help but want to keep you and this strange warmth that you made him able to feel. Forever.
