The last hope (taekook) - Chapter 6: Chapter 6

In the footage, Aera's bodyguards escorted Rinnie to the base of a mountain near Aera's villa. That was the last time rinnie was seen alive.
Yoongi's new lead shifted the investigation toward Aera's villa. they were sent to investigate the people residing there..
The household staff were still there, and they remembered that little girl from three years ago.
The eldest housekeeper was brought in to give a statement. she was an old lady in her early fifties..
"The child kept crying," the housekeeper recounted. "Ms. kang found it annoying and gagged her with a floor rag. She kicked Ms. kang in retaliation, which drove her mad, and she kicked that kid to the ground."
jungkook vividly recalled the bruises on Rinnie's swollen legs, which had been soaked in river water. The marks were the exact size of a shoe print.
Rinnie was only seven years old!
And yet Aera had the cruelty to treat her with such violence.
Because of her, their daughter suffered unspeakable torment. her little body went through immeasurable pain.
Hatred surge within Jungkook. If he could, he'd drag Aera out of her grave and whip her corpse!
Jimin was also present during the investigation. Aware of the fact that Taehyung's crimes were rooted in vengeance, he worked tirelessly to find more clues..
For two days, they pushed themselves to the brink, revisiting the kindergarten, reviewing surveillance footage, and leaving no stone unturned to bring clarity to the case.
they were doing their level best to find every nook and corner..
only If three years ago someone other than Seojoon had handled the original investigation, perhaps justice would have found them long ago.
That night, Yoongi visited Taehyung again.
He offered Taehyung a cigarette, but Taehyung didn't take it.
He'd quit smoking back when he married Jungkook.
"my kookie doesn't like it when I smoke. If I lit one up, would he come out and scold me?"
The thought brought a faint smile to his lips.
"Of course not. jungkook's been gone for a long time and won't come back even if i burn my insides with smoke"
Hearing his thoughts broke Jungkook's heart. he leaned closer, sitting by his side and resting against his shoulder .
"I would never leave you. How could I possibly rest knowing everything was left unfinished?, i love you taetae in this life or any other,, i will only have you in my heart. "
Taehyung's eyes burned with the fire of revenge, a fire that kept him going and one that kept Jungkook tethered to him.
Yoongi, unfazed by Taehyung 's silence, retracted the cigarette, lit it for himself, and spoke through the rising smoke.
"There's been a huge buzz online," he said.
"We've released relevant leads to the public. A lot of people are stepping forward to help with the investigation. It's working."
Taehyung nodded faintly, offering no further response .
Realizing he wouldn't get anything useful from Taehyung , Yoongi finished his cigarette and left.
he was unaware of the storm raging beneath taehyung stillness.
At three in the morning, he returned, his face weighed down by a somber, heavy grief.
"The truth is out now," he announced.
Moments earlier, several anonymous videos had been uploaded online.
There were three in total.
The first video was about rinnie.
The dash cam footage Aera had once submitted was footage they had thought was the only evidence available because the base of the mountain lacked surveillance cameras.
That footage depicted Rinnie getting out of the car, stumbling slightly as she walked past the hood, and disappearing around the corner at the mountain's base.
Back then, they assumed Rinnie had gotten lost, which led to her disappearance.
they entertained many or every possibilities, with human trafficking topping the list.
But the nearest surveillance cameras showed no sign of Rinnie or any suspicious individuals passing by.
they had begged to search the villa district, but Seojoon refused to send officers.
The area, filled with the ultra-wealthy people , was heavily guarded by private security, and they were denied entry.
The wealthy owners rejected their pleas and didn't allowed access to their private properties..
But the newly leaked version continued beyond what they had seen before.
After Rinnie disappeared around the corner, a luxury car pulled up at the entrance to the villa district .
When the driver noticed Rinnie walking alone, the car door opened.
A bloated man stepped out, squinting at her with a malicious glint in his eyes.
It was kang Haejoon, aera's father..
"Rinnie, why are you alone? Let me take you home, okay?"
Haejoon knew Rinnie. Aera had often complained about her in his presence.
Rinnie, sharp as ever, immediately sensed danger. She turned and tried to run, her tiny legs moving as fast as they could.
"Hey, don't run! Let's play for a little while!"
Haejoon quickly caught up with her and grabbed her small frame with ease.
The video clearly showed Haejoon's malicious face as he restrained her.
"No! Let me go! Let me go! I want my appa and dadda! Help!"
Haejoon clamped his hand over her mouth and dragged her into the car.
This footage had never been available during the initial investigation.
Where had it come from?
jungkook circled Taehyung , his thoughts swirling with suspicion. But taehyung seemed utterly unbothered as if he had expected this all along.
Before Jungkook could process it, the second video began to play.
The scene shifted to a room with bizarre decorations hanging on the walls. the red lights in the room giving it a sinister feel..
In the corner of the room stood a massive cage. Inside, horrifyingly, was a little girl slightly older than Rinnie!
