Chapter 74: At Peace

             “Dr. Park…” Sputtered the elder in surprise and he backed up. “T-Take it back… please… You don't understand…” The elder spoke out in fear as Jimin stood there and locked his phone before shoving it into his pocket. “Jimin… Park Jimin… You're the best astronaut I've ever had… Please don't do this to me…” The elder was more than than terrified now. There was nothing he could do since Namjoon must have already read those messages and there was already a chance that the authorities were contacted… He lost this battle and was finally going to pay the price.

              “Mr. Wu… I can't have you putting our lives at risk like this… My Jungkook is suffering now and you want to keep him there for two years? He'll be dead and you'll leave Taehyung traumatized! What's wrong with you?! It's about time you learned your place.” Jimin added more fuel to the fire as the elder's fists balled up in anger. “You can hurt me, you can run all you want… But you'll never escape where you're going. If you hurt me, you'll still end up at the same place. You belong behind bars for tampering with our lives…” Jimin spoke and that's when the elder shot his focus onto Jimin. “Look at me all you want… You can't do anything.”

              “So what if I did all of this? Hm? Only you and Namjoon knows… So, if I could get your mouth glued shut along with that sexually confused man, I will still live to see the blue skies once more!” Chief Wu continued but as soon as Jimin shook his head and backed up, the elder began to walk towards Jimin. “Who's the scared one now?”

              “I'm not scared of you. You could delete my evidence, but that doesn't mean that Namjoon doesn't have them…” Jimin then glanced up at the door and before he could think of running off, he made a move and that's when the elder pulled Jimin's arm back forcefully enough for him to let out a shout. Yet, astronomers outside couldn't hear through the soundproof room.

              Meanwhile, Namjoon was driving back to the facility with a strong mind now. He let go of Jimin and decided to fill his life with the one he loved now. As Namjoon pulled up at a stop sign, he kept the engagement ring in the red velvet box over the cup holder within his car. Only then, he noticed Jimin sent him many pictures and videos. Just staring at the notification from where he sat, gave him every reason to remain silent and hope for the best. “Oh Jimin… what did you do now?” The older whispered to himself before unlocking his phone and noticing what Jimin sent him. “Fuck… You hard headed, cute, little boy…” Namjoon hissed and quickly turned his car as soon as the lights turned green. Making a turn after switching his turn signal on.

           With that, Namjoon quickly rose the phone against his ear as his other hand locked onto the steering wheel. “H-Hello, police, I need you to report to the K.S.C.U facility. Please do so quick, no time to explain.” Namjoon spoke into the phone and sped down the street in his car; going to the direction of the facility. In his mind, he worried about Jimin and feared what could have happened to the young man when he went off to find this evidence. “I told him not to… I told him not to worry about it, but now… Now I just hope he's doing okay. He didn't add anything onto the conversation after sending those..” Namjoon's voice echoed within his own mind as he passed by every building nearby.

           At the same hour, Jimin tried to move his arm away from the elder so he could leave. “L-Let go, Mr. Wu!” Jimin hissed as the elder gripped on tighter. “It's over…”

         “Over? Y-You can't do this… Don't do this to me…” The elder continued as Jimin finally freed his arm and panted desperately while glancing back at the Chief. “You're going to bring me down… After all I've done for you. If it wasn't for me, your name wouldn't be said over the news, your name wouldn't be shouted by press! This isn't fair to me. I-I'll pay you both to keep quiet about it! Please… Don't do this, Dr. Park Jimin..” Chief Wu whispered desperately and kept his gaze locked onto the young man. “You don't understand… I always tried my best to give you all something…”
