The Devil Judge [BL Version]

Chapter 15: Master Isaac

As Ga-on explored the lavish room, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the opulence surrounding him. The room he had entered was adorned with expensive furniture and exquisite artwork. But what caught his attention was a massive photo frame hanging prominently on the wall.

His eyes widened in shock as he stared at the photograph within the frame. It depicted a person who bore a striking resemblance to Ga-on himself. The similarity was uncanny, and Ga-on couldn't help but wonder who this person was and what connection it had to Judge Yo-han.

Lost in his thoughts, Ga-on didn't notice the approach of the housekeeper, who had been watching him from the shadows.

With a calm and knowing demeanor, the housekeeper finally spoke, "You are a very curious person."

As Ga-on processed the housekeeper's revelation that the person in the picture was Master Isaac, he couldn't hide his curiosity. He asked, "So, this room.."

The housekeeper nodded, her expression carrying a mix of sadness and empathy. "Yes, this is Master Isaac's room. Yo-Han does not deserve this lavish lifestyle he took all this from my master."

Ga-on's curiosity continued to drive him as he fired off questions, but the housekeeper remained tight-lipped. Frustration welled up within him, and he impulsively poked her gently, trying to provoke a response.

"I think he must have done something bad," Ga-on suggested, unaware that his words were about to touch a sensitive nerve.

Her face contorted with anger, and she shouted angrily, "What do you know?"

Caught off guard by her outburst, Ga-on quickly realized he had crossed a line. He regretted his words and, realizing the pain they had caused, he swiftly offered an apology, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. If it's hard to talk about, you don't have to say anything."

Her anger subsided, and she sighed heavily, her gaze softening as she looked at Ga-on. "You look just like Master Isaac, especially those eyes," she said with a hint of nostalgia in her voice. "It all happened one chilly evening, years ago. I remember it as if it were yesterday."

"Kang Yo-Han was Isaac's schoolmate," she began, her voice carrying a sense of nostalgia. "Yo-Han's father used to treat him terribly, subjecting him to brutal beatings. One day, when Isaac witnessed this injustice, he couldn't stand by. He rescued Yo-Han and, despite his father's reservations, he pleaded for help for his friend."

Ga-on listened intently, piecing together the fragments of a story that had remained hidden for so long. It was a tale of friendship, sacrifice, and resilience.

The housekeeper continued, her voice filled with emotion. "As they grew up, this friendship turned into something more. Love blossomed between them, and their bond deepened."

"After graduation, when Isaac's father brought up a marriage proposal in front of him, Isaac refused," she explained somberly. "Fueled by love and courage, Isaac mustered up the strength to reveal his and Yo-Han's relationship to his father. But instead of understanding, his father grew infuriated."

Ga-on's heart sank as he listened to the harrowing tale. The housekeeper continued, "In a fit of rage, Isaac's father ordered his men to brutally beat Yo-Han, almost leaving him half-dead right in front of Isaac."

The brutality of the situation was hard to fathom, and Ga-on couldn't help but feel a profound sadness for the two young men who had endured so much for the sake of their love.

"Isaac begged them to stop," the housekeeper continued, her voice trembling with emotion, "and in exchange for Yo-Han's life, he agreed not to leave the mansion until he got married, as his father had wished."
