(ENG)(BTS/JINCENTRIC) INNOCENCE
Chapter 20
As Kim Namjoon had predicted, the next day, Kim Taehyung gave him documents related to Mr. Oh's reservation, asked him to arrange and send the information to the relevant departments.
Going through all the documents, he discovered that the information about Mr. Oh and the guests accompanying him was too simple. Still, they were all in the VIP customer segment that needed special attention. Even though his company name was not a famous company, surprisingly, he had the financial ability to book a whole floor of the hotel. The number of people in this Oh's group was up to 20 people. If this was a false transaction like the other detective said, this case was quite large. As expected, it was not easy for an average person like him to know Mr. Oh's true identity.
After updating all the information to the department heads, he did not forget to copy the duplicate copy and send it to Kim Namjoon. Right at the moment he got up to hand over his work to Kim Taehyung, his cell phone vibrated with a text message.
-"I got your stuff. Tonight at 8 o'clock at the same cafe."
Looking at the message, Kim Seokjin couldn't help but smile and quickly reply. Sending the message, his heart emitted an unspeakable excitement. The truth proved his innocence would soon be revealed, and the long-awaited liberation was about to come true. That whole day, he was so high that the surrounding colleagues were joking about him winning the lottery. However, a few people frowned in thought when seeing his cheerful face and bright eyes full of life, especially the one below.
-"I feel that it is the very right thing for you to accept my offer. From the first time I met you until now, I've never seen your happy face as today."
Kim Seokjin pursed his lips to control his cheerful expression as he looked at the GM joking in front of him, clearing his throat.
-"Perhaps it has nothing to do with the position of secretary, so don't overthink."
Kim Taehyung whistled closer to him, raising his eyebrows teasingly.
-"Oh, or the position of a future son-in-law of L Group? To be honest, if I were you, I would be so happy."
Kim Seokjin frowned and shot Kim Taehyung a sharp look. Just as he was about to speak, Kim Taehyung got closer. He leaned in and whispered something in his ear that made him freeze.
-"One more guess, you and that detective Kim look really close. How do you think Park Jimin would react if he knew about that?"
His fists were clenched so tightly that they turned pale. Still, Seokjin maintained calm, stepped back, and firmly faced the general manager before replying confidently.
-"Since you have a lot of free time, I advise you to take care of yourself first. If there's nothing else, I may leave now."
Kim Taehyung grinned and stared at Seokjin until his back was hidden behind the door. After leaving Kim Taehyung's room, he could relax a bit. Still, his mind was a bit worried when Kim Taehyung seemed to know his relationship with Kim Namjoon. But he wasn't sure how much he knew about it? A little bit or everything? Kim Seokjin screamed in his head, reminding himself to tell Kim Namjoon after he got the stuff from Hwang Yiri so the detective could take care of it.

That night, after making excuses to Jungkook for his absence, he quickly took a taxi to the cafe he and Hwang Yiri had met the day before. As soon as he entered the bar, he saw the woman sitting blankly looking out the window. He greeted her, which startled Hwang Yiri. Her expression became a bit awkward as she reluctantly smiled at him.
-"You're here. Sit down. I saw you ordered an iced Americano the other day, so I've ordered the same for you."
Kim Seokjin felt a little strange but still smiled and thanked her. After taking a sip of coffee, he looked expectantly at the opposite woman. Seeing his sparkling eyes, Hwang Yiri slowly rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small USB stick. She pushed the USB towards him and spoke slowly.
-"This is all the information you need."
Kim Seokjin happily received the USB and frantically thanked Hwang Yiri. The two chatted for a few more minutes, then got up and left. But as soon as he stood up, dizziness suddenly attacked his body. Everything in front of his eyes became blurred and spinning. He put his hands on the table and tried to stay steady, but Hwang Yiri quickly ran over to him and asked him closely. He wanted to answer but found himself too tired to come up with a complete sentence. Then he only felt Hwang Yiri holding his waist tightly and slowly helping him out. Then, his consciousness soon disappeared.

In his stupor, there were many vague images constantly repeating in his head and strange noises hitting his senses. Suddenly, a cold liquid flowed over his body, making him somewhat regain consciousness. He narrowed his eyes and trembled as he felt the liquid once again hit him and noticed low laughter beside him. A cold hand grabbed his collar and squeezed, causing him to frown, trying to open his heavy, wet eyelids to see who the bastard was. As soon as his view was clear, he realized his wet self was tied up on a wooden chair. He whispered to the person in front of him with all his might.
-"General manager Lee, long time no see."
Lee Sohan reached out and slapped him furiously on his cheek.
-"Kim Seokjin, you are such a dumb. Why don't you ignore it and continue your fucking life? Why do you keep heading to hell?"
The burning heat in his cheeks and the wet coldness from being splashed with water made him a little more awake. Jin grinned at the ex-boss.
-"I feel we are walking on the same road, but with all the dirty things you did, I'm not sure who in us will reach the hell first."
Lee Sohan was annoyed at his attitude and was about to give him a hit, but Hwang Yiri ran over, held his hand, and hastily dissuaded him.
-"Calm down."
Lee Sohan raised his eyebrows and his hand. A crunching sound resounded in the silent space. Hwang Yiri fell to the ground with a bit of blood on the corner of her mouth. Before she could speak, Lee Sohan grabbed her hair and threw her on the floor.
-"You slut, what did this guy give you, huh? If I didn't catch you touching the secret files on my laptop yesterday, then two of you would have brought those data to the police and then ran away together, right?"
Hwang Yiri grimaced in pain as the force of her grip on her hair grew more robust, making her feel like her scalp was about to come off. Kim Seokjin witnessed an unexpected domestic abuse, immediately spoke up to distract Lee Sohan.
-"Well, men should show respect and be gentle to women, not behaving like a barbarian like this. If your wife knew, she must have gone to the temple and prayed to the Buddha to meet good people in her next life."
Lee Sohan went crazy with his provocation. He turned around and gave him a fist that made his head tilt to the side.
-"Shut up. A fucking gay like you knows shit. A guy laying under another man has no right to teach me how to be a man."
The fire of anger in his heart burned, making his guts constrict. He licked the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, turned his head, and looked straight at Lee Sohan with a cold smile.
-"Ha, so you must know about my relationship with Park Jimin, right? It's probably not good for you to treat me like this once he knows it."
-"Haha. Of course, I know. You are Park Jimin's fiance, the future son-in-law of the L group. But do you think I am that stupid to confront him if I had nothing to back me up?
-"Oh, your backup must hold a great position in the L group. Let me guess, the chairman of the L group, Park Tae Hwan, right?"
