"Holy Shit" you cursed under your breath.

Ofcourse you've heard a lot about Taehyung, have watched his movies, there was no doubt he was a great actor but seeing him live with your very own eyes was different, so much different.

You were awestruck

Was he even real?

"Hello Everyone!!" He greeted and your heart almost stopped as his deep voice echoed in the hall due to him talking in the mic.

You almost forgot what you came here for. That was until the interviewer sitting beside you said "It's good to have you back in the industry, Mr.Kim"

"Thank you so much. I'm happy to be back too." He bowed "And please call me Taehyung." He added, smiling

And that's how the question and answer session started.

"What should we expect from the movie Blue And Grey?" One of the reporter asked

"It's a story about a young man struggling to live happily. I won't give away much, but it's a really good story." He answered at which his manager, sitting beside him, nodded.

"It marks 5 years since the release of the blockbuster movie Singularity. Would you like to say a word about it?" Another one asked

"Oh yes. Time really flies by quickly." He laughed. "I remember shooting that movie.....

"Y/N" a voice in your earpiece called.

Jungkook

"What is it?" You asked as quietly as possible.

"Are you going to ask anything or am I just suppose to record other reporters?" He asked

"Oh right. I forgot I had to ask questions too." You slapped your cheeks to get yourself out of the trance.

Jungkook was left shocked after hearing you say you FORGOT to ask.

You raised you hand, gaining Taehyung's attention.

As soon as his eyes met yours, your heart rate picked up. You were just praying you wouldn't stutter while asking him the question.

Clearing your throat, you lifted up the mic "What was the most challenging part of this movie for you? You asked, without stuttering

Thank Goodness

"Aah. There's nothing challenging for me, Ma'am." He winked, smirking

"J-Jungkook, I think I've just got a crush." You uttered before you could stop yourself.

"WHAT?" He whisper yelled

"But there was one thing, while shooting...." Taehyung continued but all of those words were blur to you because you were too focused on staring at him.

The session continued like this for a while.

"The nation really wants to know why the famous Kim Taehyung decided to go on a break for a year out of the blue." One of the reporter said

There was hesitance from Taehyung's side. It looked like he was looking for the perfect words. His manager seemed uneasy too.

"I needed some time to myself." Taehyung smiled but that looked fake.

Was he lying?

"But why? We need details." Another reporter stressed. It was as if he was  trying to get something out of Taehyung

"Rude." You remarked

"There are no further details." Taehyung's manager answered for him.

"I've noticed your father always accompanies you in your conferences. Why isn't he here today?" The same reporter from before asked.

Taehyung, whose head was hung low for a while, looked up. There were emotions in his eyes.

"No questions please." Taehyung's manager said

"He died." Taehyung answered, ignoring his manager's words.

His manager sighed at that.

There was absolute silence in the hall. No one dared to say anything.

Taehyung's father died? When? Why was this fact hidden from the world?

So many questions and no answer.

"My condolences." The same rude reporter from before said, breaking the silence. "But, may we know how?" He asked

Was he serious right now?

How can he act so heartless when it was clearly visible that Taehyung was hurt and was uncomfortable to talk about this.

"I believe your fans deserve to know this." He added to make it sound like Taehyung MUST answer the question.

"I don't think his fans would like to invade his privacy." You uttered in your  mic, facing the interviewer, who in return just glared at you.

Taehyung looked up, tears visible in his eyes. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. So many thoughts were ringing in his mind right now.

His manager was panicking slowly.

"He... " Taehyung started

"I guess we'll skip this question." The manager interrupted.

"He was killed." Taehyung continued nevertheless.

The hall was filled with noises. Some gasped, including you. Some were whispering things to each other.

"We might have to stop the press conference here." The manager said, getting up to leave, whispering some things in Taehyng's ear.

But it felt like Taehyung was in another world right now. He was visibly emotional, sad and.... angry.

"Let's go Taehyung." The manager pulled on Taehyung's arm

"NO!" He shouted. Everyone went silent.

"I won't sit silent anymore. I want justice!" He shouted again.

You had no idea what was happening right now.

How did the events turn into this?

"Taehyung!!" The manager exclaimed.

"I know who killed him." Taehyung announced in the mic, surprising everyone with his angry tone.

"The culprit is still out there living peacefully after taking my only family away from me." He uttered through gritted teeth.

Jungkook had stopped the recording long ago because it felt disrespectful to him to record someone in their vulnerable state.

Other cameramen on the other hand were recording everything.

"Who is it?" One reporter asked

"Taehyung, No." The manager warned

"It's...... The Black Knight."

Your mind went blank at that.

No way...

He couldn't....

How could he?

Tears streamed down Taehyung's face and he fell to the ground, his knees too weak to hold his weight up right now. He started sobbing.

His manager called security to help him lift Taehyung up and get him out of here.

"Everyone can leave now. The conference is over." The announcer came and announced in the mic.

The guards appeared after a while and started to show people the way out of there.

Jungkook just stood there speechless. He didn't know what to say because all of this was a big lie. He NEVER killed anyone in his whole life as Black Knight, never.

Why had Taehyung said that?

Did he lie?

But the way he was saying it, it didn't look like he was lying.

Then what was the matter?

————————

Sitting in the passenger seat of the car, you were still thinking about the things that happened a while ago.

Jungkook was driving, silently. Ever since he walked out of the hall, he hadn't uttered a single word, making you wonder if he was alright.

Suddenly he stopped the cars by pulling the brakes.

"What happened?" You asked, eyes wide in surprise.

Without any word, he opened the door and stepped out. You quickly followed his action.

"What's wrong Jungkook?" You asked but he just stood there on the sidewalk taking deep breaths, looking a bit stressed.

"Jungkook, you don't look good. Is everything okay?" You tried to ask again, genuinely worried for him now.

"Just wait here." You insisted, walking back towards the car to fetch a bottle of water for him.

"Here. Take this" you handled him the bottle after approaching him.

He took the bottle from your hands and drank some water, calming down a little.

"Do you want to talk?" You offered, rubbing your hands on his back in a comforting manner.

"Thanks." He finally said something in a forever.

"What happened?"

"Um... I was feeling suffocated." He lied.

"Its alright. Let's take a seat here." You pointed at a bench nearby.

He nodded and followed you.

"Better?" You asked, after taking a seat beside him.

He nodded yet again.

You decided to just stay silent and let Jungkook take his time.

"Y/N." He called, his voice soft as ever.

"Hm?"

"What do you think about...all this?" He asked, staring at the cars and bikes passing by

"Is this about the press conference?" You asked

Jungkook sighed and gave a nod.

"I don't know how to say it, I think I'm shook, yes, I definitely am, from this new information." You started, rubbing your hands on your upper arms to create some heat.

You saw Jungkook reaching for his jacket from your peripheral vision.

"Eh... are we in a movie right now? You don't have to do that." You chuckled

Jungkook raised his brows in confusion.

You pointed at his jacket.

It took a while for him to understand what you were saying, and when he did, he just broke into a chuckle.

"I wasn't going to offer you my jacket." He said.

Speechless. That's exactly what you were on that moment.

"What are you doing now?" Jungkook asked as he saw you get up and look for something beneath the desk.

"Looking for a hole that could swallow me because I'm fucking embarrassed right now." You simply answered.

For the first time, you heard him laugh and you'd be lying if you said it didn't do something wierd to your heart.

That was just so adorable.

"You are something else." He shook his head.

"No really, don't you watch movies or dramas?" You asked him, getting up and crossing your arms infornt of your chest.

"I do. But-

"If you do then you should know that a gentleman ALWAYS makes sure that the girl stays warm." You uttered, acting like you were offended.

"If that's really that big of a deal then alright. I'll give you my jacket." Jungkook said, acting like he was serious.

"No, idiot. Keep it to yourself. I was just joking. Besides you need to say warm too." You smiled, taking your seat again.

Jungkook shook his head yet again, smiling.

Honestly, he wanted to thank you for making him laugh in a situation where he really needed to forget what he had witnessed a while ago.

"But I can't believe his words, no matter how much I try." You suddenly uttered, going serious again.

Jungkook quickly understood you were going back to previous conversation.

"I've had faith in what I believe for a while, you know? It's making difficult for me to believe Black Knight did something like that." You sighed.

Jungkook was taken aback.

Were you still by his side even after what Taehyung said?

"I wish I could know a bit more about this." You dipped your head down.

"Then do it." Jungkook uttered

"Huh?"

"Research on it and you'll know what is the reality." He said, looking into your eyes.

"It's not that easy, Jungkook. I-

"I'll join you too." He cut you off, taking you by surprise.

"Let's do it together." he said with determination visible in his eyes.

Why was he so determined? You thought

"Let's see if Black Knight is the real culprit, and if he isn't then let's find the real culprit and prove Black Knight innocent." Jungkook said, holding his opened palm infornt of you.

You thought over it. It really was a great idea. It could not only help you on finding the truth but could also prove to be a big step in your career if you succeed.

This was exactly the chance you needed. You couldn't just let this go. Whatever the hell was going to happen, you were ready to face it.

You placed your hand in his hand. Jungkook smiled and tightened his grip. Shaking hands, you both uttered in unison "Let's do it!!"
