Waiting Room

1:39 A.M.

JK: So that's when I told the guy that I could take him easy money if he wouldn't stop god damn FOULING on me...

TH: I'd say the same thing! How'd he react? I wanna-

SJ: Guys, Namjoon is coming.

(NAMJOON ENTERS ROOM, FACE EXPRESSIONLESS. HE GLANCES AT SEOKJIN BRIEFLY)

JM (RUNNING UP TO NAMJOON): Joon! How'd it go in there? We were wondering why it was taking so long...

TH: Yeah...I need like a good four energy drinks or I'm going to pass the fuck out.

JK: I need five-

HS (COUGHS): So...um, Namjoon? I know you'd stand up for me in person but did you in the interrogation room? I'm not trying to come off as desperate but my noodle shop...

TH: Pretty fucking desperate.

JK: Hahaha!

HS (GLARES AT TAEHYUNG): Hey, you two don't have the best luck either--fighters #1 and #2!! Aggressors like you are the cops' first target.

YG: Hmmm.

NJ: To answer your question, Hoseok...yes. I stood up for you. And I also agreed to help them in the investigation. You all understand why, yes?

SJ: Of course.

HS: Wow, uh--why would they let you help them, isn't that-

JM: A conflict of interest?

JK: Woah...Jimin is actually smart?

JM: Hey dumbass aggressor #1, you shut it!

TH: But I wanted to be #1!

NJ (ROLLS EYES): Well, of course they can't fully trust me, initially...but I explained to Paul some of my theories about you all, who I think did it, et cetera...

SJ: Go on, Namjoon.

(HOSEOK CROSSES ARMS, YOONGI SHIFTS AROUND UNCOMFORTABLY)

NJ: First off, I just want to recommend a course of action, kinda like in a lacrosse game. If I had to title the play, I would call it "the strategy of compliance."

TH: That's a boring play name-

SJ: Compliance...

HS: Compliance?

JM: He means we should do what the police tell us to do. Follow-ups on any tasks they put in our direction...

YG: Tasks...?

SJ: Such as...hmm, what would they ask of us, Joon?

NJ (CRACKS KNUCKLES): Since they all have probable cause for us to commit the crime and they don't want the possible destruction of evidence, they legally have the right to search and collect the lacrosse bags that were left in the shop. However, under the terms of the Fourth Amendment they're required to ask our consent. You all need to say yes so they can search each bag for clues right away.

JK: Clues? Really, Joon, the only thing I keep in my bag is-

JM: Drugs?

TH: Condoms?

JK (BLUSHING): Ew, what? No! I don't keep condoms in my lacrosse bag, the fuck? I was going to say equipment.

JM: You didn't deny the drug thing.

JK (CLENCHING FISTS): Jimin, that weed was a one time thing-

JM: Hey! It's alright, I'm not charging you for anything. We all have our outlets from time to time.

YG (ROLLS EYES AND STEPS AWAY FROM JIMIN): Drugs...

HS: Wait, Jungkook...do you have marijuana in there now?

TH: Bro, you gotta lend me some-

JK: NO! Ugh, why are you all targeting me...

SJ: You guys, please. Namjoon isn't finished with his plan.

NJ: Thanks, Jin. As I said, when they come back in here, if they need to do more searches or take blood tests, let them know you'll agree. I hate to say it, but one of you is responsible and we'll find a way to pick out who you are.

HS: What do you mean 'we?' Are you talking about Seokjin?

NJ (HESITATES): No...I'm talking about Paul.

TH: F-fuck, Namjoon. You're siding with Paul over...over your whole team? Do we mean that little to you?

JM: Namjoon...

HS: Hey guys, don't be too upset. Being a leader, er, I mean leader figure can be difficult. Don't be mad because he means well. He wants to catch a criminal--a murderer. Why do all of you seem to forget the severity of this situation? Are you all blind to the fact that a millionaire was killed in cold blood...I-in my own noodle shop?

JM:...Hoseok...

YG: True...

JK: Well, when you put it that way...

NJ: Murder is a felony and sentences extend to life...I hope you know that if you did it and plead guilty right now...well, your sentence will likely be reduced.

SJ: I...I-

TH: But can't you like, plead insanity to get out of that-

NJ: Yes, if the reason behind the mental condition is confirmable and it is proved by a medical professional.

JM: Hmmmm...

JK: What's considered insane, because I think Taehyung falls under it-

TH (PUNCHING JUNGKOOK'S SHOULDER): Bro, this isn't funny. I have my whole life ahead of me.

SJ: U-unless it was proven to be an...accident, with no mal-intent. C-correct, Namjoon? 

(SEOKJIN WRINGS OUT HANDS)

YG: Something...?

SJ: Okay, I have something to say...

YG: No! (NUDGES JIMIN'S SIDE)

JM: What is it, Yoon?

JK (WHISPERS TO TAEHYUNG): Yoon? Oh my fuckin' god.

YG: Tell.

(JIMIN'S EYES WIDEN, HE SHAKES HEAD)

JM: I c-can't do that, I don't think...

SJ: You don't have to say anything prematurely, Jimin, I can go. I bet what you have to say isn't as bad as what I have to say, just let it rest-

(HOSEOK RAISES EYEBROWS)

JM: Yoongi...I-

(YOONGI STEPS FORWARD TO MIDDLE OF AREA AND COVERS EYES WITH HANDS)

NJ: Yoongi, what are you doing?

YG: I-

JM: Are you really goi-

YG: I-

(YOONGI CROUCHES INTO BALL, COVERING HIS EARS AND CLOSING HIS EYES TIGHT)

JK: Is he okay?

SJ: Don't feel like you have to say anything...

JM: ...

YG: I...NEED TO SAY SOMETHING!

(ALL BOYS FREEZE, INCLUDING JIMIN, WHO FLINCHES BACK IN SHOCK)

TH (WHISPERING): Yoongi...

YG (BREATHING INCREASES): THE TRUTH NEEDS TO BE OUT IN CASE WE SEPARATE OR NEVER SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN!

(JIMIN RUSHES TO YOONGI'S CROUCHED FORM, PLACES HAND ON HIS BACK, TEARS IN EYES)

YG: A MONTH AGO I KILLED MY FATHER IN SELF-DEFENSE WHEN HE WAS AT-ATTACKING ME...IT WAS THE...TH-

(YOONGI BEGINS TO HYPERVENTILATE)

JM (CRYING, RUBBING YOONGI'S BACK): Calm down...calm down, honey.

YG (OPENS EYES TO LOOK AT JIMIN): THE SAME NIGHT I TOLD HIM I WAS...MOVING IN WITH JIMIN.

TH (TEARS BRIMMING EYES): ...

YG: Because we're...we're in l-love. A couple. You al-already got it probably, b-but... I d-didn't touch Violeta...the--the c-cops will prob-probably find my r-record anytime a-and su-sus-suspect-

(YOONGI STUMBLES OVER TO GARBAGE CAN BEFORE VOMITING)

JK: Jesus Christ...he killed...

TH (WIPING A TEAR): Yoongi came out as gay and...they're a c-couple?

NJ: Jimin...Yoongi...why don't you two go to the bathroom and...recuperate after that...

(WHILE BAWLING, JIMIN DRAGS A SHAKY YOONGI TOWARDS BATHROOM)

HS: He...can...talk? Wow...I never expected-

SJ: I...well, Namjoon you never told me...

NJ: What were you going to say, Jin?

SJ (CLEARS THROAT): I'm...well, that didn't make this easier for me.

JK (HOLDING A SNOTTY TAEHYUNG): This isn't easy for any of us...Taehyung was crushed by that story and I don't even know my own teammates apparently...I didn't even think this guy was capable of producing tears.

TH (GRABBING JUNGKOOK'S SHIRT): Huuuuuuuuuuu! So brrrraavvvveeee! Yoongi, I underestimated you, I'm SORRY! Hhhhhuuuuuuuu!

SJ (TAKES DEEP BREATH): I just wanted to announce, Yoongi was right. He didn't kill Violeta.

HS: You mean-

SJ: I know this...be-because I did.
