"I...?" Jimin was truly speechless because during that time, he climbed the wall to see Lisa.

He even told his assistant to tell anyone who asked that he was resting in his bedroom.

He felt like someone had tricked him. How could the timing be so accurate?

"Where were you during that time?" Bambam interrogated.

"Say something, Jim. Don't worry, we're all behind you," Bang Chan encouraged.

They were sure that Jimin wasn't in the bedroom. They were even more sure that Jimin would never do drugs, especially with an unfamiliar woman.

"Were you actually in the bedroom?" Jennie asked Jimin with furrowed brows.

"No. I didn't go into the bedroom," Jimin denied.

"Then tell me, where you were and who you were with. If you give us a witness, we can investigate," Bambam continued.

Jimin looked down, completely unsure of what to do...

If he didn't give an explanation, he would be in a lot of trouble, and be seen as a murderer. If he did give an explanation, what would happen to Lisa's reputation...

"Say something, Jimin..." Taehyung was anxious as well.

"I can't."

"Then, you cannot prove your innocence. Not only are you the owner of the property, but there is also a witness who claims that you were at the crime scene. Plus, the victim fell from your bedroom and you were the only one missing in the surveillance videos during that period of time. Young Master Park, we have reason to believe that you were involved with this murder. We need your cooperation. Please come back with us to the station."

Bambam was a righteous man. Although he was normally a sharp-tongued jokester, he was more than serious when it came to criminal investigations.

He wasn't about to go easy on Jimin just because the man was famous.

Business was business...

Jimin nodded. "Fine, I'll go with you. Please find out what the hell actually happened."

At the sight of Jimin leaving with the police, everyone's expression turned heavy.

"I think that he's protecting someone. Could he be protecting the murderer?" Bang Chan asked, completely confused.

Jennie suddenly uttered, "I actually think that someone's trying to frame Jimin."

Taehyung nodded. "I agree. Even Seulgi hadn't been in his bedroom. He would never bring a stranger in. There's no way that Jimin was involved."

"But where did Jimin go during the time of his disappearance and murder?" Bang Chan asked.

Both Jennie and Taehyung fell silent...

Taehyung waved over Jimin's female assistant and asked, "When did Jimin leave the party?"

"At around 8 PM."

"Where did he go?"

The female assistant shook her head, "I don't know either. President Park told me to tell anyone who asked that he went to his bedroom."

"... What a coincidence," Bang Chan sighed.

"Jimin's not that stupid. If it really was him, he wouldn't tell others that he would be in his bedroom."

"So, is this a coincidence or is someone framing him?" Bang Chan continued to question.

"We'll have to wait for the results from the police investigation..."
