"Mr. Kim? Park Ji-min here" Mr. Park said impatiently.

"What is it? Do you realize what time is it?" He asked, a bit angry. Why was his lawyer calling him in the middle of his peaceful sleep?

"I'm sorry to bother you so early this morning, but this is important. It's about Jisoo."

"Jisoo? What's wrong with him?" Mr. Kim asked, still half asleep.

"He got into trouble last night. He..."

Before Mr. Park could finish his words, Mr. Kim said quickly, "He is a big boy. He can manage himself. Just give him the money he needs. We'll talk in my office later." He was ready to put the phone down when his lawyer shouted from the other line.

"No! That won't do! He needs help!" Mr. Park said loudly.

"What is it?" He felt irritated now, "What's so bad that he NEEDS my help?"

"Sir" Mr. Park hesitated before he finally let out, "Jisoo is in jail."

"What?" the same eyes that were prepared for sleep suddenly opened widely in total terror. He sat up putting the phone right to his ear.

"What the hell is he doing in jail?" He was at a total loss.

"Jisoo was caught by police last night in your hotel." Mr. Park tried to explain to him.

"Is it some kind of joke?! Yah, this isn't funny Jimin-shi!" Mr. Kim retorted back to him, speaking informally to emphasis his irritation.

The lawyer brushed his ruffled hair with his fingers, "Sir, it's not a joke. Jisoo, your son, is really in jail."

Mr. Kim heard a big sigh from his long life lawyer, "I don't understand, Jimin-shi.  You are the best in the country. Why couldn't you just get him out of there? Just pay the damn bail."

"There are too many charges on him, Mr. Kim. It's not easy. If it were, I wouldn't have called you so early in the morning."

"What did he do this time?"

He sighed before saying, "Public intoxication, drug usage, and sexual harassment." He predicted that Mr. Kim would explode at him with this information. His prediction was right.

"What did you say!?! Jisoo has never done that! Being drunk, ok sure. Everyone gets drunk once in a while, but using drugs and sexual harassment!?! "

He was confused and irritated "That's ridiculous!! Have you checked clearly to make sure that it was my son? That it was my Kim Jisoo."

"Yes, I have. I even met Jisoo myself at the police station." Mr. Park replied.

"So why didn't you take him home with you!?!?" Jimin took a deep breath before continuing to explain.  Mr. Kim was famous for being stubborn, and no one knew that better than Park Jimin.

"I can't get an alibi for him, there are too many witnesses, and what's worse is that Jisoo admitted the fault was all his."

"Stupid boy!" Mr. Kim cursed his son.

"I will explain to you what happened before you read it in this morning newspapers."  Mr. Park took a breath before continuing.

"Jisoo was drunk last night at your hotel, where there was a birthday party for a girl named Min Bona. According to Jisoo's statement, he liked a specific girl, Kim Jennie, who was one of the guests that night. However, the girl seemed to be ignoring his attention which made him angry. He used drugs for himself and drugged her as well to get her into bed. Now, the girl is making an allegation against him for sexual harassment."
