The morning air was crisp as we walked into Jin Oppa's firm, a quiet tension settling over us.

We were back in the same conference room where, just yesterday, we had laid the foundation of Taehyung's justice.

This time, though?
It felt different.

More real.
More final.

Namjoon sat beside Jin Oppa, flipping through the neatly arranged case files.

Oppa, as always, was composed, scrolling through his phone as he reviewed updates.

Park Seo Jun was on a call, his voice sharp yet controlled, while Woo Shik and Jisoo skimmed through documents, cross-referencing notes.

Hyung Sik, arms crossed, observed the room carefully, his calculating gaze scanning each of us, always a step ahead.

And then-
Taehyung.

He sat between Yoongi and me, his fingers curled around a cup of tea-one that Jin Oppa had silently placed in front of him minutes ago.

He hadn't taken a sip, but he held onto it like a lifeline-like something tangible to anchor him in the moment.

Namjoon, who had been silently observing him, reached out, tucking a loose curl behind Tae's ear before squeezing his shoulder gently.

"Breathe, baby bear," he murmured. "We're here."

Tae inhaled sharply, nodding. "I know."

I smiled softly, squeezing his knee under the table. Yoongi reached for his other hand.

And just like that, he wasn't alone.

Seojun looked up from his call.
"It's done."

The entire room stilled.

Tae's fingers tightened around his cup. "...What's done?"

Seojun placed his phone down, his voice neutral-too neutral. "The asset freeze was executed this morning. Your uncle and aunt no longer have access to their funds."

A beat of silence.

Then-
Yoongi smirked, leaning back. "That fast?"

Hyung Sik chuckled. "Oh, you'd be surprised how quickly people lose their minds when their money disappears."

Namjoon let out a low whistle. "This is checkmate before the game even starts."

Tae exhaled shakily. "So... they know?"

Jin oppa finally looked up, his lips curling slightly. "Oh, they know."

And as if on cue-
His phone rang.
