Court )
(Author's POV)
As they were cuddling Jungkook sighed and looked at them.
"I have good news everyone."
"What?"
"We are going to court tomorrow and we are officially adopting Kwang, but we have to get his mother to lose all rights."
"That's easy enough, you had a plan right?"
"Yup! But it's late now so lets go to sleep."
The next day they all woke up and got dressed in fancy looking suits and drove to court after a family breakfast. They walked in and took their seats next to Ara. Kwang's mother walked in looking dirty which made the two men cringe but their attention went to the officer who began to speak.
"All rise as the judge enters the room." The officer says and everyone rose to their feet.
"You may proceed with your case." The judge says.
Ara stands up and clears her throat taking a bunch of papers in her hands.
"We are here today because these two lovely gentlemen would like to have custody over this little boy." She gestures to Kwang. "May I show you and the jury some evidence that was from the last time someone had a case against Mrs. Lee?"
"Proceed."
Ara put some copy's of pictures of dark purple bruises that were on Kwang's skin in front of them.
"This is from the last case that was reported when Kwang was in a different daycare. The teacher was getting concerned as he kept seeing bruises on him everyday. And just recently has more evidence came up thanks to Jeon Jungkook, that Mrs. Lee is incapable of taking care of him."
"Objection your honor!"
"Silence! Let her proceed."
"Thank you, your honor, as I was saying new and very clear evidence has come up. With that I call Mrs. Lee to the stand."
Mrs. Lee stood there and went to the stand and was sworn in. Ara got the screen to show the judge and the jury and began to play the video of Mrs. Lee who sold her child and dragged him, and Kwang saying she hits him. She then paused the video and began with the questioning.
"Mrs. Lee in this video it is shown that you are selling your son for money, which is against the law here, and abusing him. Do you have anything to say about that?"
"That rat deserves that treatment after being born! He drove his father away."
"So you turned to alcohol to cope? As you can see in the background of this video, there is a bunch of alcohol bottles in the background. Am I correct?"
The jury began to murmur to each other as this evidence was also brought to their attention.
"Thank you, that is all."
Mrs. Lee went back to her seat and her lawyer started to speak with her briefly and and straightened her jacket. Now it was time to see if Mrs. Lee could turn this thing around.
"I would like to call Park Jimin to the stand please."
After he was sworn in he sat down with his hands in his lap.
"Where did you find Kwang exactly?"
"I found him in a dirty alleyway on my way home from school. He was crying all alone and decided to take him in."
"You didn't think of going to the police?"
"No, he would've been put in the foster system and he wouldn't have had a chance to have a life. When he looked at me, I couldn't help but want to have him as my son, he was the cutest little guy I have ever seen." The jury saw absolute adoration in his eyes and looked back at Kwang who was blushing and hiding in Jungkook's arms.
"Why didn't you try to contact Mrs. Lee?"
"I didn't try because he was dropped off there."
"Do you know this for a fact?"
"No."
"So those alcohol bottles you saw in the video could've been there after her son was abducted."
The jury mumbled to each other and nodded.
"I'm done asking questions."
Ara got up while Jimin was on his way back to his seat.
"I would like to call Kwang to the stand please." Kwang looked up at her and nodded. He slowly slid off Jungkook's lap and quickly went to the stand making everyone in the room coo. He tried to get on the seat but couldn't.
"Appa I can't get on the seat!" He said pouting. Everyone cooed and Jungkook got up and helped him onto the seat.
"On second thought, how about you stay with him to make him more comfortable." the judge said and gave Kwang a smile. Jungkook nodded and sat there with Kwang on his lap.
"Kwang, when you were with Mrs. Lee where you happy?"
"No." He said quietly.
"Why?"
"She was scary and she would hurt me." He whispered and turned around in Jungkook's lap to hide in his chest.
"Can I ask you one more question?"
He nodded and turned back around playing with Jungkook's fingers.
"Do you want to go home with Mrs. Lee.
"No! I want to stay with Appa and Daddy!" He said crying.
"So now you see that this child is sobbing at the thought of going home with Mrs. Lee, think about the mental damage he would have to go through for the next 16 years! And Mrs. Lee even said he deserves the child abuse she inflicts upon him. I think that the right place for him is with Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook. Thank you. No more questions."
The jury started to talk again and was trying to come to a conclusion.
"I think we have this in the bag." Ara whispered to Jimin and Jungkook.
"Order!" The judge said hitting the gravel on the sound block.
"The jury has come to a decision ma'am."
"What is it?"
"We have decided that Mrs. Lee is guilty of child abuse, child endangerment, and that Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook should have full custody over Kwang."
"My final decision is that Mrs. Lee is not only charged with child abuse and child endangerment, but also charged with a conspiracy of human trafficking. She will be sentenced to 15 years in prison and when she gets out she cannot be in a 5 miles radius of a school perimeter, she cannot get out early with good behavior and cannot get out on bail. Thank you, Jury, for your service today. Court is adjourned."
They all got up and Mrs. Lee was put in handcuffs and led out by officers. Jimin and Jungkook hugged each other and were super happy.
"Yay! I can go home with Appa and Daddy!"
"Thank you Ara."
"Of course! Anything to bring your son home. Have a good day guys!" She said and left the courtroom. Kwang went up to the judge and smiled at her.
"Thank you for letting Appa and daddy keep me."
"You're very welcome."
Kwang ran back to Jimin and Jungkook and they went out to eat Kwang's favorite food to celebrate.
Now its the end...... for real this time XD
