The Devil Judge [Bl Version] - Chapter 37: Drunk Ga-On ♥️

Yo-Han and Ga-On, dressed in their respective attire, emerged from the office room. There was a palpable tension between them, a silent exchange of words left unspoken.

Yo-Han took a seat behind his desk, his gaze fixed on Ga-On for a moment, his expression inscrutable. Then, with an air of dismissiveness, he spoke. \”You\’re weak,\” he declared flatly. \”Just get lost.\”

Ga-On, though clearly hurt by Yo-Han\’s words, maintained his composure. \”I sincerely wish you would stop,\” he replied, his tone a mix of frustration and disappointment. With a respectful bow, he turned and left the room.

Yo-Han remained seated, his eyes closed, as if contemplating the consequences of his harsh words.

*****

Later that night, Soo-Hyun visited Ga-On with a big box of beers, a mischievous grin on her face, and declared, \”Tonight, we\’re drinking and celebrating.\”

Ga-On looked up in surprise, he hadn\’t expected this, and the idea of a drink with Soo-Hyun provided a glimmer of relief from the heavy emotions that had weighed on him.

They both sat on the terrace and Soo-Hyun began unpacking the beers, her movements deliberate and filled with an unspoken camaraderie. \”We all need a break sometimes,\” she said, her tone more gentle than usual. \”And tonight, we\’re taking one.\”

Ga-On couldn\’t help but offer a small, grateful smile as he reached for a beer, realizing that in the midst of their shared struggles, there were moments of connection and support that made their partnership all the more meaningful.

As they sat together, Ga-On found himself once again defending Yo-Han\’s character. \”It\’s not possible,\” he asserted firmly. \”Yo-Han wouldn\’t have killed Isaac for money and also why would he kill Minister Cha. There has to be another explanation.\”

Soo-Hyun, her doubts lingered, countered, \”You simply don\’t want to believe that Yo-Han could have done it, do you?\”

Ga-On looked at her, his conviction unwavering. \”No matter what the world thinks of him,\” he said, his voice was filled with determination, \”I know he\’s someone who deserves sympathy.\”

Soo-Hyun\’s keen eye didn\’t miss the bite marks on Ga-On\’s neck, and she couldn\’t help but ask, concerned in her voice, \”What is this?\”

Ga-On hesitated for a moment, then replied, \”It\’s nothing, really.\”

Soo-Hyun, not one to beat around the bush, immediately jumped to a conclusion. \”Did Yo-Han force himself upon you because you talked to the media and revealed his secrets?\”

Ga-On\’s eyes widened in surprise at the accusation, and he quickly shook his head. \”No, it\’s not like that at all,\” he explained, trying to dispel the misunderstanding. \”These marks are from something else entirely.\”

As Soo-Hyun continued to press Ga-On, saying harsh things about Yo-Han, Ga-On felt the weight of her accusations and insinuations growing heavier with each passing moment. He tried to defend Yo-Han, but the pressure became too much to bear.

\”Yo-Han didn\’t force me! It was consensual. I wanted it! I like it when he kisses me, and I don\’t know why, but I just… I never want it to end with just a kiss.\”

Soo-Hyun, taken aback by Ga-On\’s outburst, reacted with a slap. \”You have gone mad.\” She stood up and walked out of the house when suddenly she looked back and rushed back to the terrace.

In a haunting moment, Ga-On stood precariously close to the edge of the terrace, the harsh scent of alcohol clinging to him. His unsteady footing matched the chaos within his mind as he contemplated a desperate act that could change everything.

\”Ga-On, please,\” she implored, her eyes filled with tears, \”don\’t do this. We can find another way. You don\’t have to go through this alone.\”

Ga-On\’s shoulders shook as he fought back tears, his inner turmoil laid bare for Soo-Hyun to see. \”I can\’t face him,\” he whispered, his voice raw with emotion. \”I saw the hate in his eyes for the first time. He hates me.\”

Soo-Hyun took a step closer, her voice filled with empathy and urgency. \”I know you\’re hurting,\” she said softly, \”sometimes, the people we love turn out to be… something else. It\’s not your fault if the person you love is a devil.\”

\”Am I turning into a monster?\”

Soo-Hyun, her eyes wide with alarm, rushed towards him, pleading, \”Ga-On, no, please come down.\”

But Ga-On, teetering on the brink, suddenly faltered, his balance betraying him as he swayed dangerously close to the edge.

Soo-Hyun, her heart in her throat, took a step forward to help him, but he warned her, his voice strained, \”Don\’t come closer.\”

In that critical moment, Soo-Hyun knew she had to act quickly. She reached for her phone and urgently called Yo-Han, her voice trembling as she explained the dire situation. \”Yo-Han, please, come as fast as you can.\”

With a sense of urgency, Yo-Han rushed to Ga-On\’s location, his heart pounding with dread. When he arrived and saw Ga-On sitting perilously close to the edge of the terrace, the horror of the situation struck him like a tidal wave.

Yo-Han joined Soo-Hyun on the terrace, his attire more suited for bedtime than a crisis. Soo-Hyun couldn\’t help but comment, her tone a mix of concern and amusement, \”Why are you wearing your nightgown? At least put on some pants.\”

Yo-Han, his attention firmly on Ga-On, retorted with a hint of annoyance, \”I would have if somebody hadn\’t told me Ga-On was in danger.\”

Soo-Hyun, never one to shy away from confrontation, seized the moment to ask a pressing question. \”Do you really love Ga-On, or is it all just a part of your game?\”

But Yo-Han, ignoring her probing inquiry, couldn\’t contain his frustration as he yelled at Ga-On, \”What the hell do you think you\’re doing?\”

\”I\’m sorry, Yo-Han,\” he sobbed, his words filled with anguish. \”I don\’t want you to hate me. You\’re the first person my heart has ever beaten so badly. I feel heartbroken. I never wanted any of this. Am I a monster now?\”

Yo-Han, moved by Ga-On\’s raw vulnerability and emotional turmoil, couldn\’t bear to see him in such pain. He approached Ga-On with gentle determination, his voice soft and filled with sincerity.

\”Ga-On,\” he whispered, \”you\’re not a monster. You\’re just human, and humans make mistakes. I could never hate you. I care about you more than I can express.\”

In that fragile moment of confession, Yo-Han found himself compelled to share his true feelings. \”I love you, Ga-On,\” he said, his voice trembling with emotion. \”More than anything in this world. You\’re not alone in this. We\’ll find a way through this darkness together.\”

In a tender and vulnerable moment, Yo-Han extended his hand towards Ga-On, an invitation for connection and comfort. Ga-On, slowly overcoming his hesitation, extended his trembling hand, and Yo-Han enveloped him in a warm and reassuring hug.

Ga-On, overwhelmed by emotions, nestled into Yo-Han\’s embrace. As he rested his head on Yo-Han\’s shoulder, his voice barely above a whisper, he murmured, \”I love you, Kang Yo-Han. I love you.\”

Upon witnessing the depth of Ga-On\’s emotional turmoil, Yo-Han made a heartfelt request to Soo-Hyun. \”Please stay with him for some days,\” he implored, his voice laced with concern. \”And don\’t tell him about tonight.\”

Soo-Hyun, taken aback by Yo-Han\’s vulnerability and his genuine care for Ga-On, nodded in agreement.

She had never seen Yo-Han in such a raw and unguarded state as he gently caressed Ga-On\’s hair, his gaze filled with a tenderness that was both surprising and deeply moving.

As Yo-Han left, Soo-Hyun was left with a profound question echoing in her mind.

Could it be that the love she had witnessed in Yo-Han\’s eyes was pure and genuine, a love that transcended their complex circumstances and was undeniably meant for Ga-On?
