T/W: self-harm.

At this moment, she felt unwell. She knew that she was about to have another withdrawal but she didn't expect that it would be that frequent. It wasn't a good time to have it at this very critical moment. She was unable to focus, she couldn't even hear the question clearly.

She tried to hold herself together: "It was all Lee Taemin's doing. I accidentally heard his plan when he was talking on the phone, he..." Her sight started to get blurry and her head was in a lot of pain. She also had trouble breathing until she fell to the floor.

People were startled, it was a total mess.

Taemin came over and hugged Krystal. Her parents tried to push his hand away: "Do not touch her!"

The court announced they would take a break due to the unfortunate event that just happened.

Krystal was carried to the sofa at the meeting hall. She kept twitching and her breathing was heavy. She cried and bit her lips. She was helpless inside Taemin's embrace.

Everyone came over, including the judges. "What happened?"

"She's an addict." Taemin clutched both of her hands.

She glared at him: "I will not let you win!" She then tried to bite him.

Looking at this, the judge was startled:"Hurry up, take her!"

"No, she will get better soon." Taemin's voice was soft and caring.

"No need to pretend!" She kept glaring at him. "Go away, bastard!"

Finally Taemin let her go and she leaned on her father's embrace. Her presence was a waste in the court now as they wouldn't take account of her testimony. She was then sent to the hospital as the court continued.

"Your honor, first I want to apologize for this chaos." Taemin said. "As you can see my wife is an addict. She is not stable and frequently has an illusion. Sometimes what she thought she saw or heard, it was only in her head."

"Nonsense! It was you who drugged her!" Y/N couldn't control herself anymore, the images of Krystal's condition just now playing inside her head.

This man is simply not human.

Y/N shifted her gaze to Jimin, she felt heartbroken and terribly sad. She couldn't breathe properly.

Krystal couldn't be their witness anymore, they wouldn't have any more odds of success. But there was nothing she could do. The feeling of hurt, betrayed, and disappointment became one. Y/N never felt this helpless.

Jimin was also looking at her, he put his hand on the corner of his eyes and smiled. Y/N knew that he was telling her not to cry and he wanted to see her smiling.

Y/N tried hard to control herself, she took a deep breath and raised her head to look at him again. She smiled.

"Ms Song, do you have evidence for your accusation? You know, I can sue you for defamation." Taemin said, seemed ignorant toward Y/N. "Moreover, Krystal is my wife. How could I do something like that to my loved one? I am heartbroken to see her like that."

He paused, his eyes were full of mockery. "It's clear that you are the one who seized the opportunity and brought her here for your own advantages. You purposely turned the court into chaos. My wife is not suitable to testify in court. Your honor, what do you think?"

With Krystal's condition, it was indeed strange. She was acting crazy and collapsed in the middle of the trial, how could she want to be a witness? All the evidence against Taemin was a failure. In the end, the result was unsatisfactory. Even though they still had time, Krystal couldn't testify again.

As the trial ended, Jimin would be brought back to the detention center. Y/N ran toward him and held his hand. "Jimin..."

It was her first time to touch him and being that close to him in a long time because every time they met, they would be separated by a thin glass.

"Y/N..." Jimin also held her hands tightly.

They were unwilling to separate but the police came over and took him away without giving them a chance. Y/N kept following them out until she was stopped. She could only watch as he was brought away.

Taemin and his people also came out, he gazed at her and smiled: "Do you think you can fight me?" He also stared at Jungkook: "And you, Mr Jeon, aren't you also in trouble? But here you are still trying willingly to help your old lover." He laughed and got inside his car.

The fight inside the Jeon family had been going on for a long time. With Jungkook's current condition as a cripple, people in the company thought he was incompetent and unsuitable for the role. They thought he should pass it to Jeon Wonwoo, but how could Jungkook's mother let it happen? So now the problem is getting worse.

They just stood there along with Jimin's lawyer, they were discussing the trial until Y/N's phone rang, it was Krystal's mother. "Y/N, hurry up! Taemin wants to take Krystal away..."

"We will be there, Auntie." She hung up and looked at Jungkook and Taehyung: "Taemin has people to take Krystal away from the hospital."

They rushed to the hospital but it was too late. They stared at Krystal's mother who was crying. "Auntie..."

"He took her away." She cried. "The police were also here but they said that he is Krystal's husband and he has the right to take her away. That evil man even said that he would help her to recover."

"I will look for him." Taehyung said and opened the door.

"Taehyung!" Y/N called his name as she wanted to calm him down. Since Taehyung brought Krystal away, he wouldn't let her go just like that. Besides, what was the point of looking for him? It would only harm him.

"He took her away, he definitely will torture her." Krystal's mom said as her heart was breaking.

Taehyung pursed his lips and pursed his lips. "I will call Kim Namjoon's assistant."

Krystal woke up and noticed she was inside a familiar room, it was their room. In the past, she thought his room felt cold because it was gray but after she moved in she started to redecorate it so it would be warmer. She loved this room before, but now she was really disgusted.

Taemin was not home and the maid served her food but she didn't touch it. She only laid down on bed and was staring at the ceiling. When Taemin returned, he looked at the food on the table. His face immediately turned cold and he called the maid.

The maid was terrified and ran over. He said that she was useless and asked her to tidy up her things and leave. She begged and cried but it was no use. Krystal ignored everything that was happening.

Krystal was just staring at the ceiling like a living doll.

Taemin reheated the food and brought it to her. "Eat."

Krystal didn't respond, she was acting like she didn't know who was in front of her.

"I said, eat! Do you hear me?"

She just stared at him but she couldn't focus. By bringing her home, he knew it would be a lot of work, she would be angry and scold him. She would call him an evil person and that she was disgusted by him. He didn't care about all that but he couldn't stand her being like this. Like she was lifeless.

Taemin felt strained. He scooped the food with a spoon and brought it near her mouth. Suddenly, Krystal's eyes changed and glared at him. She was sweating and looked pale, her body started twitching.

She knelt on the bed and tried to gain control over herself but it was useless. She was in pain, she started screaming. Taemin who was beside her stayed calm.

Krystal curled her body, she was faint and fell down to the floor. Taemin went outside and when he returned, he brought a pack of white powder. He knelt down and used his finger to take a bit of powder. "Do you want it?"

She was crying and her hands started to tremble. She knocked Taemin's hand. But he laughed: "if you don't want it now then don't beg me for this later. What are you afraid of? You can have as much as you want. Are you afraid that I can't supply you?"

"Lee Taemin!" She curled her body again. She really wanted to kill him, if she had anything sharp in her hand, she would definitely kill this man!

He put the white powder to her nose and let her inhale it. Just the smell of it made her comfortable. She was suffering and finally she couldn't control herself anymore. She clutched it and brought it to her mouth.

She fell down on the floor as she felt the sensation before it finally disappeared. All of her effort in the last few days was gone.

Taemin carried her to bed and wiped her tears. His actions were soft. She was silent and just staring at the ceiling.

He fed her but she vomited it all. "You really want to starve yourself to death?" Taemin said and smashed the bowl to the floor.

He went downstairs to smoke and gave someone a call. Because Krystal didn't eat anything the whole day, she called a doctor to inject some nutrition for her.

Days went by, Krystal was not changed. She couldn't control her addiction and Taemin just passed the drug to her every time. When she woke up, she refused to eat anything. Every night Taemin would come home and sleep beside her, he hugged her but she didn't do anything. No matter what he did or said, she was silent. The only reaction from her was only when she had a withdrawal.

Taemin's patience was running thin, he was on the edge of explosion. He clutched Krystal's face and kissed her. She took a toothbrush under her pillow and broke it into two. Taemin knew that she wanted to stab him but he just laughed but didn't move to stop her.

But he was startled that she didn't stab him, she was stabbing herself!

He immediately rushed to the hospital. Along the way, he pressed the towel on her injured chest. He didn't dare to carelessly pluck it, so he just pressed the wound and hoped it would stop bleeding.

Krystal was still conscious on their way to the hospital, he was hugged by him. "Lee Taemin, you will hug my dead body soon." She lost consciousness after she said it.

He tried to shake her head:"Krystal, wake up! Listen to me, wake up! If you die, I will make your parents follow you too!"

But Krystal couldn't hear his threat.

He looked at the driver and yelled: "Hurry up!"

"Yes, Mr Lee."

His clothes were red. He stared at unconscious Krystal on his lap. He remembered the feeling when he was hugging Yoona's dead body. He was feeling the same at this very moment.

When they took Krystal to the operation room, he kept calling her name with fury until he was stopped. "Mr Lee, please wait outside."

Taemin could only stare at the closing door. He then sat on the chair. He used his bloodied hand to massage his temple. He could understand his feelings now, he was afraid. He was afraid that Krystal would leave him.

He was afraid that Krystal would leave him like this.

He was trembling and his mind was all over the place.

"Mr Lee." It was his assistant, Min Yoongi. He came as he had something to say to him.

But Taemin didn't want to see him: "Go away!"

Yoongi didn't dare to say anything, he just stood on the side. He had been Taemin's right-hand man for years. He knew him well. His outward appearance seems to be gentle courteous but he was actually a really scary man. His mind was extremely meticulous.

To make Krystal stay beside him, he could do something like this. Krystal hadn't eaten anything for days, she would just depend on the nutrition drip and he would just feed her the drug every time she needed it.

Fortunately, even though the brush stuck near her heart, it wasn't deep. It was her luck because if it was just a bit deeper, she could die.

She was sent to the patient room but Taemin didn't come to see her. He just asked Yoongi to come over and ask for her condition from the doctor. When he returned, Taemin was standing near the garden to smoke.

"President Lee."

"How is she?"

"The doctor said she passed her critical condition, she will be okay. Don't worry." Yoongi said. "Do you want to see her?"

Taemin was silent and stared at his cigarette before throwing it to the ground. "Call her parents and ask them to pick her up."

Yoongi was startled. Does it mean that he finally let her go?

He probably did, these days Krystal's response was really terrifying. She was nothing like her former self, she was lifeless. She didn't eat anything and just depended on the IV drip. If she kept being like that, she could die.

Perhaps after experiencing this, Taemin was terrified that she would leave him so he let her go.

"Okay."

Krystal's parents receive Yoongi's call at four in the morning. Her parents, Y/N, and Jungkook rushed over to the hospital.
