(ENG)(BTS/JINCENTRIC) INNOCENCE
Chapter 32
In the middle of the bustling evening street with people constantly passing back and forward, the young man wandered off, ignoring the noisy laughter around. In his mind, there was only the conversation with the bar owner ten minutes ago. Kim Namjoon, the unfamiliar name a few months ago, was now imprinted in his brain, probably from the first time they met in that dark prison. It turned out the story behind that name was so tragic. Jin was now in a zone of confusion and chaos. His mind wanted to take advantage of Kim Namjoon to find a way out of this cage while his heart ached in pity. He didn't know what to do anymore and didn't even know how to face the other.
"L Group Chairman Park Taehwan has just been found passed out at his home due to stroke. Mr. Park was taken to L hospital shortly after; however, the representative of L Group has not yet made an official announcement about his condition. Many reputable newspapers have predicted that the shares of Group L would drop quite a bit in tomorrow's trading session..."
The announcement from the flat-screen TV in the nearby hardware store suddenly stopped him.
The news regarding the chairman of L Group having a stroke made the whole city stir. Some people were happy, some were sad, some were suspicious, some were looking forward to... Anyway, no matter how chaotic, those who were living healthy must still live healthily. It was the nature of society.

-"Haha, I didn't expect God to help me. That bastard had a stroke at the right time"- Lady Park laughed with satisfaction as she looked at the bold headline on the online newspaper.
-"He's always been in good health, hasn't he? Did you involve in this?" - Park Haejin was excited but still felt that Park Jaehwan's sudden stroke was a bit strange.
-"He's a very meticulous and sensitive fox. The people I planted there have soon disappeared without a trace, so it's difficult to poison him. Anyway, it's not me. He should blame himself for being a scum all those years" - Lady Park held a glass of red wine and excitedly danced to the noble classical music in the room.
-"The transaction of Oh Sehuyk and Kim Hanjoo is tomorrow. Is everything ready?"
-"Yes, Taehyung has already prepared everything accordingly"- Park Haejin took a sip of wine, slightly frowning at the surprisingly poor quality of the wine.

It was pretty late by the time Kim Seokjin got home. Seeing the flat sunk in darkness, he wondered where his housemate, who was supposed to be at home by now, was. He was just about to turn on the phone's light to find the power switch when someone suddenly locked him, and a towel was quickly brought up to cover his nose and mouth.
After struggling for a few seconds, his physical strength quickly disappeared, his body lost power, and his consciousness faded utterly. Before Jin completely fell, a hand wrapped around him so gently, and that familiar scent made him sure who was next to him.

When Jin woke up, he found himself lying on a bed in an unfamiliar room. His whole body was exhausted, unable to move because the anesthetic effect had not yet worn off, so he could only observe the surroundings. It was a standard single-bed apartment. The furniture was neither new nor too old but reasonably comprehensive. At a glance, there must be people living here, not deserted. After assessing for a while, feeling his strength begin to return, he flipped the blanket, got up, and walked around. His cell phone was taken, and there was no telephone here. The main door was locked, the refrigerator surprisingly had a lot of fresh ingredients. The kitchen was full of spices and cooking utensils, while the toilet was also full of brand new toiletries. After walking around to evaluate this space, he poured himself a cup of tea in the hot teapot on the stove. Sitting down on the sofa, he reached for the remote to turn on the TV, then switched to the news channel and slowly enjoyed the tea. Until the teacup was empty, the news he had been waiting for was finally mentioned.
"This morning, the representative of L Group made an official announcement about the condition of Mr. Park Taehwan- Chairman of L Group, who had a stroke last night at his home. According to the announcement, Mr. Park is in critical condition. And it's hard to tell when he can recover. The stock price has dropped by more than 20%, and shareholders are extremely confused about the heir and the future of L corporation. Many people believe Mr. Park Haejin, the current CEO and Mr. Park's eldest son, will take the group's helm. However, some shareholders also objected since Mr. Park Haejin's shares are insufficient to take over the Chairman position. At the same time, the representative lawyer has not yet commented on Mr. Park's will. In addition, a few suppose that Park's youngest son, Park Jimin, has the potential to become the future Chairman of the L group. Next is the weather forecast program...."
Once the news ended, Kim Seokjin turned off the TV and bowed his, pondering thoughtfully.
In the current situation, Park Taehwan was still on the hospital bed. Mrs. Park and Park Haejin seemed to have a high chance of taking over the management of L Corporation. But Kim Taehyung and Park Shinhye definitely wouldn't let that happen. Kim Taehyung sent Jeon Jungkook to arrest him here to threaten Park Jimin? He didn't know much about stock issues, but from the documents Kim Namjoon gave him before, Park Jimin's shares were not too many.
"What's the point of using me to threaten Park Jimin? Also, today is Kim Hanjoo and Oh Sehuyk's transaction day at L hotel. How can everything be so coincidental?"
Thousands upon thousands of questions spinning around made the brain that had just recovered from the anesthetic effects begin to protest against consuming overload information. Jin got up and went to the kitchen to prepare a meal to soothe his stomach, writhing with hunger.
.

At the same time, at Hotel L, the situation was not as comfortable and calm as in the small apartment.
Kim Taehyung perched on the sofa and glanced at the hazy elderly man tied to a chair in the middle of the hotel room. Then, he moved his attention to the Ipad to watch Kim Seokjin enjoying his meal in the flat. He grinned, appreciating Jin's calmness and patience from the moment he woke up until now.
As soon as he heard the noise from the other side, Kim Taehyung reluctantly put down the tablet and slowly spoke.
-"Are you awake, Mr. Oh? I've been waiting for you forever."
Oh Sehuyk frowned as he assessed his own situation. Coldly looking at the GM who was welcoming last night and now turned his face down to look at him like some disgusting animal, Mr. Oh growled.
-"Who the fuck are you? What do you want?"
Oh Sehuyk and his minions had checked in to the hotel since yesterday afternoon. Kim Taehyung directly greeted and brought Oh Sehuyk to his room. Everything was in order, and Oh Sehuyk was extremely satisfied with the layout and reception of the GM until midnight. The entire CCTV recording of Oh Sehuyk's floor flashed on the observation board for a few seconds and then went back to normal. However, no one noticed that little thing, and no one knew that everyone in those rooms except Oh Sehuyk had disappeared without a trace.
-"Do you know Kim Minhee?"- Kim Taehyung took out an old photo from many years ago of a charming girl. That dazzling beauty could make any man voluntarily die for her. As soon as Oh Sehuyk just saw that picture, his eyes widened in shock while his hands trembled intensely.
-"You...why...how...do you know Minhee?" Kim Taehyung was annoyed to hear the man calling his mother's name so intimately
-"She's my mother."
-"It can't be...it can't be...Didn't she pass away a long time ago?"
Kim Taehyung smiled faintly at the man's bewildered expression.
-"Well, you were also deceived by Mrs. Park. That year, my mother didn't pass on by accident but was brought to America. However, only a few years after I was born, she passed away due to illness. You may wonder who my father is. Can you guess who he is?"
-"Can't...be...?"- Oh Sehuyk stared at Kim Taehyung in confusion, seeing the familiar features of that girl, his eyes suddenly turned red.
-"Hm. Should I tell you a story? ... You met my mother when she was just 17. You were so infatuated with her beauty that you even made a contract with Park Taehwan and Mrs. Park to have her, didn't you? The brother-in-law she respected, the sister she loved, and trusting the most turned her into a tool to achieve their ambitions. She was originally in love with a man, so she rejected you. But you ruthlessly killed the man and raped her. But the game got boring after a while; you threw her away to search for another toy. An asshole like you has no right to mention her" - Kim Taehyung's eyes frantically fell on the man curled up in the chair.
Word by word like needles continuously pierced in the chest, suffocating Oh Sehuyk in pain. He panicked, screaming in tears.
-"Stop... Please stop... I know what I did to her is wrong, "- He continued. "But I never abandoned her. It was because she stubbornly refused me that was why I pretended to abandon her. But who would have thought that she would disappear without a trace, and then the last news I received was that she passed away due to an accident. From beginning to end, I truly loved your mother; I deeply regret over the years? There isn't a moment that I don't miss her, Minhee ...I'm sorry."
"Such an idiotic coward"- Kim Taehyung silently scorned Oh Sehuyk as he witnessed the other crying and lamenting.
-"What's the use of saying sorry now? She was already dead."
-"But you...you're still here. I'll make up for you. All you want"-Like a criminal who found his way out, his eyes lit up as he stared at Kim Taehyung
-"All? I want you dead, can you do it?"- Kim Taehyung sarcastically observed the terrified man in front of him. That panicked look in the older's eyes was ridiculous.
Without waiting for him to speak, Kim Taehyung threw a bunch of papers on his lap.
-"This is a contract to transfer your entire share. Sign it"
