Sugar Rush

"Your honour, I would like to call in my last witness." The prosecutor said as he looked at his last hope.

The judge nodded, "Permission granted."

A very old man, who could barely walk, came to the witness box. He bowed to the judge and then looked at the prosecutor. The Prosecutor went to him, "Dongmin-shi, please tell the court what happened to you in the mall."

The old man narrowed his eyes, "What mall?"

There was a low whisper in the court. "Order." the judge said firmly, "Hawon-shi, what is happening?"

"I will tell you what is happening, your honour." The defender got up, "Jang Dongmin-shi here is a patient of Alzheimer's. Here are his medical reports." He passed the reports to the judge. "That day, he visited the mall and forgot to pay the owner of the shoes." He presented the shoes in the plastic bag labelled 'evidence'. "When the security stopped him, his son came up with a plan to sue the mall for 'misbehaving' with an elderly person. I am not saying the Dongmin-shi is at fault. My target is his son, Jang Minhyunk who didn't tell anyone of his father's condition."

The judge read the reports and then nodded, "Does the prosecutor want to say anything?"

When the prosecutor didn't say anything, the defender bowed to the judge, "I rest my case, your honour."

The case was closed. Minhyuk got punished and the staff and mall's name was cleared. The defender was about to leave the court when he was stopped, "Hoseok-shi."

Hoseok turned back, "Hawon-shi."

Hawon smiled, "How did you know that ajhushi had Alzheimer's?"

Hoseok chuckled, "Just some digging here and there." He winked and left the courtroom in a hurry, calling someone.

The phone's ring was blaring through the room. The man groaned and detached himself from the body lying beside him. He was naked except for his boxers and socks. He groaned again as he picked up the call, "What?"

Nice way of treating your lawyer and financial advisor. No hello, no Good morning.

He rolled his eyes, "Good morning sir. How can I help you?" He said in a mocking tone.

Oh, don't patronise me. The mall case is closed. Where are you?

"Penthouse." He said as he got up from the bed and went to the glass wall that looked over the city. It was afternoon already and the city under him looked very busy.

Okay, I will be there.

His eyes went wide, "No!" He looked at the girl on his bed sleeping peacefully, completely naked. "I mean. I am heading over to the office. Let's meet there."

There was a sigh from the other side, "Okay."

The man immediately got ready and called his driver and bodyguard to the penthouse. As soon as he got ready, the girl woke up, "Seokjin oppa, where are you going?"

Seokjin turned back to her, "I am going to work and you need to get out as well."

"But oppa..." She whined in a very thin voice. Seokjin absolutely hated it when they used this tone to manipulate him. Like he was even going to get affected. "You promised to stay with me today."

"Plan's changed." Seokjin turned around again and fixed his tie, "Now get out before I kick you out myself. Naked."

The girl huffed and started dressing. There was a ding in Seokjin's phone indicating that his car had come. He took the suit coat and hung it in his hand as he turned back to the girl, "Close the door behind you, it will lock itself. And I see you in the house when I come back, I won't hesitate to call the cops."
