It Was Me

Chapter 16

MONDAY

3 days prior

to Jeongguks Birthday

...

The drive to the hospital was fairly peaceful for the lovers, who are simply enjoying each other's presence while the comfortable silence sat between them. They arrived just in time for Jeongguk's appointment.

"Mr. Jeon Jeongguk?"

Dr. Kim's nurse, calls just when Jeongguk was about to sit with Jimin in the waiting area. He follows inside, leaving Jimin to sit and just wait for him to come back.

"Jeonggukie, wow! You look much better now"

Namjoon greets as he stands from his swivel chair to scan the much healthier and livelier boy in his clinic.

"Sit, I'm very sorry for the sudden move of your check-up with me"

"No worries, I have nothing planned today, anyway"

Then, the usual procedure was done on Jeongguk, his vital signs are normal, better than his last visit's record and his complexion looked much brighter. Dr. Kim narrows his eyes at the boy who had a certain glow to his face.

"What?"

"You did it, didn't you?"

Namjoon smirks as Jeongguk squirms in his seat, suddenly feeling so exposed.

"Did w-what?"

"Copulation..."

Namjoon grins, as he nods his head in approval and gave embarrassed Jeongguk a cheeky thumbs up, to which the younger boy scrunched his face at.

"Are you sexually active, right now?"

These words are just too.. bold for Jeongguk.

"Um.. you could say that"

"Keep it up, it’s a really good therapy for your physical and mental condition"

Jeongguk rubs the back of his neck as he nods, unable to look at the doctor to tell his and Jimin's recent shenanigans. Doctor Kim doesn't really seem fazed by the topic at all, probably because he discusses this 24/7 with his other patients.

"So, tell me about your dreams, Jeongguk..."

He tells his doctor about the most recent nightmare he had, he couldn't help but gulp the lump in his throat as he tells Namjoon his terrifying dream.

It seemed so real.

The knife, blood and that last whisp of breath that he hears just before the piece of sharp metal clinks on the floor. He doesn't understand why he was the one dropping the knife in the end.

"You see Jeongguk, this can simply be just a dream you're having because of the pressure happening around you these days.. And perhaps, the pressure around you is mainly caused by these people who always appear in this dream of yours?"

Jeongguk thinks for a moment and realizes that it is partially true. The two people involved in the nightmare were Jimin and his uncle, and they are currently the ones who are constantly on his mind, especially Jimin.

"But the third person... I don't know him, I've never seen him before"

"This is where my other theory comes into play. You may be experiencing precognitive dreams.."

Namjoon fixes his glasses on the bridge of his nose and takes a sip from his steaming teacup of hot chocolate. Jeongguk furrows his brows at the term, new to his vocabulary, the doctor notices and took the liberty of explaining it further.

"Precognitive dreams are dreams that appear to predict the future through a sixth sense.." Namjoon sighs, "Although, this is really an unorthodox theory in the medical field, I still believe that this can be a foresight of what can happen in your future"

Jeongguk refuses to believe it. No, it's not true, that dream will never happen.

He can't possibly kill someone, can he?

His hand trembled, breathing suddenly came out in pants and the light coming from the ceiling is suddenly blinding Jeongguk's vision. His throat suddenly closing its airpath and the room suddenly felt void of air as he desperately heaved in tears.

"Jeongguk!"

The boy shouts aggressively and falls off his chair, twitching on the floor.

**

one, Little Ggukie fastens his seatbelt to obey his mommy

two, Little Ggukie makes his Iron Man fly as a little boy from outside his window flailed his arms at him

three, blinding lights beamed at Ggukie's vision before pain corrupted his little body.

Jeongguk was having his unpredictable seizure again and Jimin was not able to help him this time.

"All the evidences presented are in favour of the accused, Min Yoongi. Therefore,-"

"Not all.."

Prosecutor Kim Taehyung halts the judge from her final decision as he holds up a tube of pills for the jury and the people in the room to see. Whispers and mutters resonated in the room suddenly so silent that you could hear a needle drop.

"This is Min Gi Hyuk's prescription pills, Potassium pills. Min Gi Hyuk has always been low blood and this is what he takes to keep his blood pressure normal"

With this information, Min Yoongi sits straight, his ears now attentive on the prosecutor. Indeed, his father always had low-blood pressure.

"But the problem is, these are not potassium pills, they are instead aspirin, which if ingested too much can cause bruises and can lead to blood poisoning" Taehyung then gazes at Attorney Seokjin who was sitting beside, detainee Min Yoongi..”

"According to Min Gi Hyuk's medical records, he has been intaking the same drug, aspirin, the last four months. It could be seen in his blood platelet count that it has decreased to a significant number which is the side effect of intaking an excessive dose of aspirin. And that explains Min Gi Hyuk's bruises and the only person assisting Min Gi Hyuk during his medical check-ups is his son, Min Yoongi.."

Everyone was whispering to each other about their thoughts and opinions on the matter that Taehyung has opened. Attorney Kim and detainee Min Yoongi had a gist about what Prosecutor Kim is implying and this enraged the person who has his wrists bounded with handcuffs.

"Are you f*****g saying that I poisoned my own father?!"

Min Yoongi lashed out as he stood from his seat but only to be held down by two jail guards. Loud chatters of disbelief crowded the atmosphere to which the judge didn't appreciate one bit nor Min Yoongi.

"Order! Order!"

She slams her gavel against the sound block to which immensely lowered the unwanted noise.

"Continue, prosecutor Kim"

"I believe we have to extend Min Yoongi's sentence until we prove that he is not guilty of Min Gi Hyuk's drug sabotage"

Rage, frustration and pain is all what Min Yoongi is feeling at the moment. To be accused of killing his father, whom he would do anything to please and he dearly loved. To be seen as a criminal who didn't even commit anything.

And this prosecutor, Yoongi thought he was his hope, his attorney made it seem like he is.

Tears of anger coursed down his cheeks as he once again slammed his cuffed fists glaring at the prosecutor with such fury swirling in his eyes.

"I didn't do anything! You son of a b***h!"

"Silence!"

The judge's female alpha voice boomed and everyone fell silent.

"Extend 30 days, if no evidence is presented by then we will give Min Yoongi his final judgment. Next case.."

The judge dismisses them as everyone started gathering their things and one by one exited the court room. Taehyung never missed the daggers being stabbed in the back of his head by Yoongi as he saw in his peripheral vision, the detainee being escorted out by the two guards.

Seokjin approaches him just as Taehyung exited the court room.

"Taehyung, what the hell?!"

The attorney seethes through his teeth as Taehyung sighs in reply.

"I thought we agreed to not bring that up! You told me yourself we have no leads, this case has just become even more complicated. For godsake! We all know Min Yoongi cannot lay a soiled finger on his precious father, the whole country knows that!"

"I know, Hyung. I'm sorry but when I think something's suspicious, I can't just ignore it, sometimes I wish I could"

The prosecutor legit looks like a kid being reprimanded by his father at the moment. Seokjin just sighs and shakes his head.

"No, you don't"

Taehyung lifts his head to see his friend smirking.

"No, I don't"

The prosecutor scoffs, admitting that yes, he didn't want to ignore anything that seems to be out of place.

"See you in the next hearing, asshole"

Seokjin hugs his friend and pats his back, going their separate ways after exchanging their final smiles. But one of the two heavily respected officials, scowled in frustration as soon as they turned their backs against each other.
