The Devil Judge [BL Version]

Chapter 17: When the Reality Hits

Ga-On emerged from the room looking snazzy in his tuxedo, and he gracefully accepted the coat that Yo-Han offered him. The attire fit him well, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of confidence in his appearance.

Yo-Han, dressed in his own suit, looked incredibly handsome, and Ga-On couldn't help but notice that he was admiring him. It was a gaze that didn't go unnoticed.

Ga-On chuckled, breaking the silence. "You know, this outfit suits me surprisingly well," he remarked, a playful glint in his eye.

Yo-Han smirked and replied, "Indeed, it does. You wear it with youthful charm."

Ga-On couldn't resist a witty retort. "Well, I am young, unlike a certain someone."

Just as Ga-On and Yo-Han were sharing a moment, Elijah entered the room with a mischievous grin on her face. She joined in on the teasing, calling Yo-Han an "old man" in a playful tone.

Ga-On couldn't help but chuckle at the banter, and he decided to play along. "You know, she's right," he chimed in, giving Yo-Han a sly smile. "You are getting up there in years."

Elijah joined in the fun, and together, they managed to tease Yo-Han good-naturedly about his age. Yo-Han, though initially taken aback, soon found himself laughing along with them.

Yo-Han laughed, a rare display of amusement. He then reached into his collection and selected a nice watch, handing it to Ga-On. "Because from now on, you need to be in time with me," he said with a hint of seriousness.

As Yo-Han observed Ga-On and Elijah sharing a light-hearted moment, he couldn't help but be taken aback by the unexpected bonding between the two. Their smiles and camaraderie were evident, and it was a sight that he hadn't anticipated.

A faint smile played on Yo-Han's lips as he watched them interact. It was a rare glimpse into a different side of Ga-On, one that he hadn't seen during their courtroom encounters. It also made him realize that Elijah had warmed up to Ga-On in a way that she hadn't with others.

The dynamics in the mansion were evolving, and the mysteries and complexities seemed to extend beyond the courtroom. As Ga-On wheeled Elijah out of the room, Yo-Han couldn't help but wonder how these newfound connections would shape their journey.

As Yo-Han and Ga-On arrived at the SRF (Seoul Republic Foundation) event in one of Yo-Han's several expensive cars, the atmosphere was abuzz with activity and excitement. The event seemed to be a gathering of influential individuals from various sectors.

Once they arrived, Yo-Han excused himself to speak with someone, leaving Ga-On to navigate the social scene on his own. Ga-On, feeling a bit out of place in the glamorous setting, tried to blend in with the crowd.

It wasn't long before Sun-ah, the wife of Chairman Park of Sarang Media, approached Ga-On with a friendly smile. "Hello there," she greeted him warmly. "I don't believe we've met. I'm Sun-ah."

Ga-On extended his hand, returning her smile. "I'm Ga-On. Nice to meet you."

Sun-ah's friend, the wife of another influential figure, joined the conversation, and the two women began fawning over Ga-On. They seemed intrigued by his presence and eager to strike up a conversation.

As Ga-On found himself surrounded by the assertive women, he tried his best to maintain his composure, but it became increasingly difficult as they invaded his personal space.

One woman with a smartphone in hand enthusiastically exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, you're adorable! Let's take a selfie!"

Ga-On, feeling trapped, reluctantly agreed to the selfie. Another woman chimed in, "Your hair is so nice, let us fix it for you!" Before he could protest, they started messing with his hair, and Ga-On's discomfort grew.
