The Illest [Minyoon GS]
Chapter 8: The Witness

The night is getting late, but it does not hamper the interview. Jimin was asked, but the man remained silent and stared at the floor. Seungmin was already anxious to scratch the wall because Jimin did not open his mouth. There was a detective waiting for his testimony. Yoongi just propped up his bored chin next to Jimin. Then he remembered, Jimin would rampage if he felt threatened. But here he was silent. Is it a reaction to the same situation?

Yogin thought of an idea. He had to show that the two in front of him were no threat. So, on his own initiative he said, "Detective Kim, after this what is our food menu, huh? I'm so hungry." He blinked like he was sending a code. Detective Kim who felt called replied, "In the cafeteria of this company there is a bibimbap."

Jimin who heard it immediately sparkled. "I want to eat" he said. Seungmin himself patted his forehead, about the food alone replied directly. He who had asked was not even ignored. It seems like food is a surefire weapon for Jimin.

Seeing no one get up from their seats, Jimin explained, "I remember my parents being given a drink, then being unconscious after drinking it. His face I remember, he was the one who always accompanied me in the cell. It turned out to be the same as someone who gave poison to my parents. I was given, but I did not make me die. I'm often dizzy and feel a quick turn of time."

No one responded, Jimin continued, "I feel like I'm being chased by something. Then, feeling alone, someone named Lucifer came to me and accompanied me all day. Until Yoon-gi comes, he disappears. Was Lucifer just part of the prolonged hallucination?"

Yoon-gi stroked the back of Jimin's hand, giving her strength. Seungmin just sighed, his prejudice was right. Jimin was given high doses of drugs, while his parents drank poison. Detective Kim, who heard the call, turned off the pen-shaped voice recorder in his hand, and recorded Jimin's testimony.

"Can I eat now?"

It was late, but the cafeteria inside the SBC Office was still crowded. Get a few people in line, including Yoon-gi. Jimin just sat down with Seungmin at one of the dining tables. Yoongi just took food for Jimin. He and Seungmin have no appetite now, due to a statement from Jimin.

"Good meal!"

Jimin immediately devoured his food with pleasure. It didn't look like after being interviewed about something that made him sad. He returned to being Park Jimin as usual at the Mental Hospital. When the man is not depressed, this is what he looks like. Plain as having no pressure and looking like a child.

Seungmin who saw Jimin like that immediately felt guilty. She never confirmed her husband's actions. Therefore, he hated Kyuhyun and wanted to throw him in jail. Remembering that there was a young man there, he said, "Yoongi, I'm sorry. Actually the one who put you in Myungsei Hospital was me. I just want you to accompany Jimin, given your always curious attitude."

"I want you to help him grow. It's just that in the seven years you've been together, you've only now interacted. Makes me have to look for evidence of Kyuhyun's rot in depth, but thank you for bringing Jimin to testify. I love you, Yoon-gi" he continued in a regretful tone. Yoon-gi shook her head.

"I'm grateful to be able to stay there. Living in Myungsei Hospital taught me not to complain. There are more people suffering than myself. However, behind the suffering, they felt very happy. I'm happy there, let alone being able to get to know Jimin, someone who is opposite and can complete my shortcomings," concluded Yoongi. Seungmin nodded until tears were shed.

"There are so many people out there who feel that they are suffering the most. Close your eyes and not realize that everyone has their own suffering. I'm glad you can feel the way things are in this world, despite being locked up in a Mental Hospital. I'm glad you're more human, than a free man out there." Seungmin's words made Yoon-gi smile. He did not feel disappointed anymore, finally there was a reason that made him happy in the Mental Hospital.

Awareness of the surroundings, that's the lesson learned. Have you been staring around you?
