The Devil Judge [BL Version]

Chapter 25: The Judgement

In the courtroom, the tension was palpable as Yo-Han, with a fervent determination, vigorously dug his pen into the paper, leaving a hole as he sentenced Seok-hoon to 20 years in prison. The room fell silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the final verdict.

Then, unexpectedly, Yo-Han's gaze shifted to Ga-On. Their eyes locked for a long, intense moment, an unspoken understanding passing between them. Ga-On felt a mixture of emotions, wondering what this look meant, but before he could decipher it, Yo-Han announced, "And that's it."

The shock in the courtroom was palpable. The abrupt ending left everyone bewildered, including Ga-On. Had Yo-Han made a secret deal? What was the meaning behind that gaze?

In his prison cell, Seok-hoon couldn't believe his luck. He laughed in relief, confident that he could easily buy his way out of prison. But then, excruciating pain gripped his abdomen, and he began screaming in agony. He was rushed to the hospital, his appendicitis requiring immediate surgery.

Seok-hoon regained consciousness in a sterile hospital room, only to find Yo-Han standing over him, a pair of scissors in hand, a chilling smile on his face. The realization hit Seok-hoon like a ton of bricks. Just as Yo-Han was about to administer some ominous "extra surgery," Ga-On jolted awake from his dream.

Ga-On's dream left him momentarily disoriented. His heart pounded in his chest, and beads of sweat clung to his brow. The vivid and unsettling dream, with its eerie imagery of Yo-Han standing over Seok-hoon with a pair of scissors, still haunted his senses.

As he took a few deep breaths to steady himself, he couldn't help but shiver at the chilling scenario his dream had painted.

Jin-joo, noticing his distress, expressed concern. "Ga-On, you're still not feeling well. You should really take some rest."

Despite the lingering unease from his dream, Ga-On shook his head and reassured her. "I'm fine, Jin-joo. We can't afford to delay any longer." With that, he rose from his seat, determined to push aside his discomfort and carry on with the responsibilities of the day.

Together, Ga-On and Jin-joo made their way to the courtroom. The weight of the impending final verdict hung heavily in the air.

In the reconvened trial, the courtroom was once again abuzz with tension and anticipation as the prosecution and defense argued passionately over the appropriate sentence for Seok-hoon. The atmosphere was charged with uncertainty, with both sides making compelling cases for their positions.
