"This is November 18th, 2017. Time is 13:09. The witness is Mr Kim Taehyung. Case no.231 – WH, Note no. 32 – Jung Yoon Do and..." Hong stops mid sentence and eyes Namjoon to follow her. Everyone is shocked and Hong apologizes saying it will only take a minute.

They both exit the room and Hong speaks.

"I think we should wait till we find solid evidence about this Hye Jung girl. I can't tell him that the girl he fell in love with again is a dangerous one."

"How do you know he loves her?" Joon teases.

Hong glares at him and then smacks his head.

"Hey, I still am older than you! And what you are saying is right. We can't tell him what we are assuming. Let's tell him the hard facts."

With this, they both enter the room. Hong signals Yoongi to start recording again.

"So Mr. Taehyung, you operated on Mr Jung Yoon Do on 15th of November?"

"Yes, I assisted Dr. Yoo Hye Jung for the surgery."

"Can you tell us why you had to do an emergency operation on him?"

"He was shot inches below the heart and there was already a lot of bleeding. The minute to minute report is in this file." He hands the file to Namjoon who hands it to Jungkook to make a copy.

"And why do you think he specifically asked for Dr. Yoo Hye Jung."

"She was the on call doctor that afternoon so it happened that way. I don't really know why she was the one he asked for."

"You did not ask her later?" Hong asks with a hint of suspicion.

Tae looks down and murmurs his answer. "We did not actually see each other after the operation. She said she will be back home in a day or two, but being the on call doctor is hard."

"So you did not meet her at all?"

"I was on my way today to meet her cause she asked me to bring this file, but I got picked up by 'some' people." Eyeing towards Joon.

Hong still continues to question him. "But you did not have any files on you when they took you. Or... You don't trust your own fiancé?" she smirked.

"I..." Tae stutters a little, "It's none of your business. And the word trust does not suit you." turns towards Namjoon. "Are we done for now? Or will you drag my personal life in this too?"

"No no we are done. You just have to explain the details about the file to Jungkook there and you will be escorted to your house." Joon says and goes out of the room. Hong follows him with a questioning look on her face.

"She is definitely suspicious. Even Tae suspects her."

"Hmm. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though. Do you want to keep in Taehyung for more interrogation?" Joon looks pleadingly.

"No. He is already hurt. If there is something, we will receive intel about it. No need to drag him any further." Hong says adamantly.

"But we already have this photo as a proof."

"It's not enough to convince me. Find some solid evidence and then I will think about telling Tae..."

"Tell me what?" Tae startles Hong.

"Uh... Nothing... Are you done?"

"Yes. May I go home now sir?"

Hong stops him. "Wait. About your head..."

Tae touches his head and flinches at the pain.

"We may have some medical supplies around here." Hong says frantically searching for them.

Joon takes it from the front desk and hands it to Hong.

"I told you I can do it myself! Just tell me where the washroom is." Tae snarls, snatching the supplies from Joon.

Dejected, Hong points the direction and watches him walk away. Jungkook comes out of the room and sees the way his Noona is looking at Tae and it breaks his heart. He has been working with them since he was 18 and Hong Noona was his first love. Hell, she still is! She was the purest soul he had ever met. But he knows that his Noona would never see him the same way he sees her. But he can live his life with that rejection. But he can't see his Noona facing such rejection. That's what breaks his heart more.

(Noona is like a respectful term given to females those older to them. Hyung is the same but for males.)
