The next day sped around fast, and Jungkook returned home the night they both confessed. He wanted to pack all his things and move in by lunchtime. He helped Taehyung put Ara to sleep and helped clean the kitchen before he left.

When he walked into his bedroom with the brightest smile, He felt happy. A feeling he has not felt in a long time. Starting to question when he was with Boram, was he ever delighted?.

After packing all his things and conversing with his parents about moving in with Taehyung and working for them part-time, they took it well. They were happy to hear that the two had started dating and were making adult moves, as his mother said.

When he woke up the following day, he had arranged a moving furnishings business to help move his things. Once they arrived and Jungkook was standing in his now empty room, he felt a little overwhelmed with emotions. Seeing the space, he has always felt safe is empty.

Better things to come, he kept telling himself as he passed the last box to one of the staff.

When packing, he was unsure of what he wanted to do with his bed, he was going to leave it as a guest bed at his mother's house, but they already had Taehyung's old room. So, he packed up his double bed and thought it could go in the spear room in the apartment.

After he said goodbye to his parents, even though he would see them later for dinner, he drove to the apartment, heading upstairs to see everything laid out in the lounge. He let out a slight hum when he noticed the bed was not there.

He walked into one of the spare rooms to see Taehyung inside, decorating it as a guest room.

"It looks great in here", Jungkook whispered, leaning against the door frame. The brunette smiled at the familiar voice, turning around to see his boyfriend stepping inside the room.

He wrapped his arms around the basketball player's neck when he felt those warm hands on his waist.

"The first day living together, how do you feel" Jungkook smirked, holding eye contact with the shorter male who leant closer to his lips.

"Better than ever", Taehyung whispered, pecking his lips softly before pulling away.

"Ara is sleeping in her new room that is across from ours. I still need to decorate it, but we will get there eventually," He continues, blushing a little when Jungkook just stares at him with a fond smile.

"You're so beautiful" Taehyung hid his face in Jungkook's shoulder as the male chuckled.

"Never knew you could blush so much", He teased, soon following the male out the room.

"Stop teasing me."

"Never"

"Kook, can you get the door?" Taehyung yelled from the kitchen, as he was too busy cooking dinner.

Jungkook hummed, standing up from the books he was sorting out from one of his packed boxes and moved towards the door. Once he opened it, his heart dropped a little.

"Officers", He greeted, bowing a little as the two officers gave a soft smile in return.

"We are here to talk to Mr Kim about what happened?" One officer softly said.

"Who is at the door?" Taehyung asked, coming up behind Jungkook to peek at who it was.

His heart dropped a little when he saw police officers.

"Hi, Is there any way we could come in?" The officer questioned. Jungkook turned to see Taehyung nod slowly.

"Wait!" The raven said fast, holding his arm out and preventing the officers from entering.

"How do we know that you are really police officers? Can I see your badges?" Jungkook did not know where the doubt came from. Maybe it was because Taehyung got hurt, and he still has no idea who hurt him.

The officers showed them both their badges, and Jungkook nodded his head. Moving to the side as he let them in. Shutting the door behind him, he watched his boyfriend lead them both towards the couch.

Jungkook headed towards the kitchen to ensure the curry was on low heat.

"We are here to talk to you about what happened the night you got hurt. Is it okay if we record this conversation?"

Taehyung nodded, shuffling to Jungkook when he sat down next to him.

"We found a bat with blood in some women's locker. We questioned her, and she didn't know it was there. We wiped her off the suspect board when she had a decent alibi."

"Do you remember someone hurting you with a bat?" An officer questioned, notepad in his hand.

"Yes"

After they asked him to walk through what happened, Jungkook felt his heart drop at every word he said.

"How many of them were there?"

"4? maybe 5. All I know is that there was a group of them."

"They had masks on, so I could not see them", Taehyung whispered, avoiding eye contact as he looked at the ground.

"We had tested the blood on the bat, and it came back like yours. We have opened an investigation. We believe this was not some robbery that was purely targeted towards you."

"As your wallet, phone and valuables were still on you", An officer whispered, frowning when she watched a tear fall from Taehyung's eye.

Jungkook held his hand, rubbing the back of his palm with his finger.

"It tried to fight back. I kicked and tried to s-scream. I dug my nails into someone's hand. It should have left a mark. So if they are a student, then you should be able to find out who was a part of it all," Taehyung stuttered a little, wiping away his tears.

"That is great information, Taehyung; You're doing very well."

"Last thing, is there anyone you think that could hurt you? Do you have any bullies? anyone on social media you can think of? are you close to your parents?"

"I don't have a relationship with my parents. I have been in the process of changing my legal guardians," Taehyung stated in complete confidence.

"Like anyone I don't get along with, I have a few people in mind. I just can't pinpoint why anyone would hurt a human-like this," He continued, eyes looking over to the officer who nodded.

"Taehyung, is there anyone in your life with whom you don't have a good relationship?" An officer asked.

"My parents, but I don't think it would be them as their bodies are different."

"The mother of my daughter, her name is Eun. She has a boyfriend called Benjamin."

"He has actually physically hurt Taehyung before", Jungkook butted in, wanting to ensure they heard that information.

The brunette nodded, replying soon after, 'Yes, he has'.

"Was this ever reported?"

"No"

The officers nodded.

"Anyone else?"

"I may be wrong here, but Taehyung had a friend who now is not the nicest to him. His name is Jake Jensen," Jungkook suggested, shrugging. He would like to think no one was capable of doing this to someone.

But someone did, and they have to be held accountable.

"Thank you. This is all helpful."

"Could you tell me more about Eun and your relationship?" One officer asked Taehyung.

"We dated for a few years. We only had sexual intercourse twice, maybe. I wanted to, but she seemed really off to do so. I thought it was because of me. So I dropped it, and she seemed off the last time we had sex."

"She then did not really speak to me, always put me down, made me feel like I was not doing a good job at loving her"

"She started hanging around Benjamin. He was new to the school. I got a call one day from the hospital saying a friend is in the hospital, and they requested me to come down."

"Found out she was pregnant and had just given birth. She did not want to keep it, and she brought Benjamin and a lawyer in with her and stated that I owed them money under some law. She said she did not abort the baby because of me, but a few of us started to connect the dots when they said I owe them 10,000 dollars."

The officers nodded.

"Sad to say that this has happened before, Eun is not smart, and neither is her lawyer. How would you feel about us getting you a court date for full custody of your daughter? We can help wipe away this charge easily."

"It will become easier to do so if we figure out Eun was part of what happened to you, as she did risk not only your life but also your daughters."

"Have you signed a name for who Ara would go to if anything happens to you?" The officer questioned.

"Yes, I put Jungkook," Taehyung said, pointing towards the male next to him, who smiled.
