"Proceedings can start" the loud commanding voice of judge ranged in the silenced courtroom
"Greetings to my lord...today the defense will like go first" Namjoon said coming up forwards
and you on the other hand were quite nervous for today's hearing
fist your best friend and your colleague was not by your side
second you were not really in a stable headspace for work
but looks like Namjoon got that chance of your slow speed and he is sprinting today
"From the very first day sir...from my defense this case was open and shut ....and today I would like to prove my statement " Namjoon said and proceeded to forward some paper to the judge
jukyung sitting at the back smirked a little while Mr. Byun got nervous
"These are the medical history of Byun baekho when he was alive..."
you raised your eyebrows in surprise at the revealing
'Medical history...?'
"It clearly depicts that Byun baekho was the long-time patient of PTSD ....and was taking treatment from doctor choi without telling his family ..." Namjoon concluded his statement and looked over you with a meaningful expression
"This means he was a suffering from anxiety...or we can say stress of earning money...."
"Please clear your point Mr. Kim" the judge intervened before you can say anything
"This is clear that Byun baekho was desperate to earn money......from which he got stressed and maybe suicided ..."
"OBJECTION MY LORD!" you stood up abruptly and Namjoon chuckled
"sustain"
you sat down defeated when judge didn't allow you to object
"Mr. Kim don't derive anything on assumption..." the judge warmed Namjoon and Namjoon looked over him and shook his head side to side indicating NO
"Oh no my lord I got witness today" you again got surprised
only God know what Namjoon is planning today
"I object my lord this is side tracking the case "
"Miss min I would like to see his witness, and this is the last warning to you before I charge you of contempt of court " judged warned you
"Please proceed Mr. Namjoon" Namjoon nodded and called the person inside
"I would like to call Mr. choi Minho the assigned therapist of Byun baekho"
you were left stunned
'What the hell!'
within seconds a man around 30s entered the courtroom
he was quite nervous seeing the all the eyes in him, but he played it cool
he felt a strong stare on him and looked in the direction and saw you glaring at him
'Why the hell this woman is glaring at me like that?'
"Greetings to my ....my name is choi Minho and Byun baekho was my patient"
"So, Mr. choi...can you tell the court that since how long baekho was your patient?" Namjoon asked
"Around 3 years"
you were very confused because never Mr. byunjae informed you about baekho's mental health now Namjoon is blasting a bomb over you
"Alright...and about what he was taking this therapy?"
"He was a patient of PTSD for 3 years and as a therapist I was helping him" Minho spoke with a loud voice
"This proves my point my lord ...I'll rest my side here " Namjoon said and bowed
"Any cross examination miss min?" judge said
"No sir" you said in a weak voice feeling overwhelmed with the circumstances
Namjoon saw your tensed and stressed state and felt very bad for you
'I'm sorry baby......but I'm also stuck...'
"Listening to all the witness and evidence presented here...Mr. Kim have proved that the deceased Byun baekho was suffering from PTSD ........ but law believes in fair judgements so the other side will also get a chance to prove their side ......till then the court is adjourned "
the judge stood up and the court was dismissed
you were feeling numb
this was the first time in your career that you have faced a Serious issue against you
your life problems and this case stress was attacking you and you were feeling defenseless
you stood up and collected your things and ran outside feeling suffocated
~ evening ~
sitting near the calm han river somehow made your turmoiled thoughts relaxed
you have switched off your mobile to avoid some human contact just for few hours
'Being a lawyer will be hard......but hard does not mean impossible' you reminded you father saying when you told him that you don't want to study business .... you wanted to follow your dream job
'Father is right .... this case is just a test ...which I have to pass...'
'But what about your personal life issues?'
you questioned yourself
you sighed heavily and bought your legs closer to your chest
'let's not think about that now...'
you were busy admiring the calmness of the river .... feeling relaxed
But ....
you gasped suddenly when you found yourself lifted up and you were made to sit on something sturdy
two strong arms completely covered you like a warm blanket
you didn't panic because you recognized that scent
"Namjoon?" you whispered
"Shh...just relax.... I'm not ready to face a lawyer y/n...." somehow, he made surroundings light
"I'm tired"
you were not in any state to argue
so, you decided to go with the flow
you were ready to do anything just to forget today's horrible day
"You know if I was not tired.... I would have kicked you where sun doesn't shine..." you said tiredly while your eyes were getting sleepy due to lack of sleep from past 2 days
"I know Babygirl.... but for now, just relax......forget all your stress...I'm here ...." he whispered in your ears and tighten his warm embrace
"hmm"
with that you both sat there calmly ...forgetting all your problems
just you and Namjoon
'SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO LOVE THAT PERSON BUT YOUR'RE TOO STUCK TO EVEN REALISE THAT....'
