The Wrong Judgment

6 - The Back and Forth

Ga On spent the whole day basically working from home and playing games with Elijah.

When he woke up in Yo Han's room he was surprised and a bit disappointed that he didn't see the older man there. He only got a text from his Chief that informed him he wouldn't be home the whole day, because he had something to take care of.

And since he didn't want to tell Ga On what this was about, he figured it must have been about work. He was probably setting up another trial on his own.

Ga On was disappointed, but he was also glad that he wasn't dragged into all of this just yet.

But that left him with having a really boring day, which resulted in him going to sleep quite early. He didn't even know how long he was asleep before he was rudely awakened by someone.

"Ga On, get up," he heard some voice and was stirred awake by Elijah. The girl came to his room in her pajamas, clutching a stuffed animal tightly in her arms.

"Elijah?" He frowned at her and sat up. "What are you doing here at this hour?" He asked, seeing that it was around midnight. Something must have been seriously wrong if she came to him in the middle of the night.

"Yo Han's not home," she told him.

What? Did he really come because of that?

"Yo Han's not here," she said again. "He's been out the whole day and he still isn't home. Where on earth would he go? And why isn't he back yet?" She asked, clearly worried.

Ga On smiled at her. "Maybe he's out on a date," he said with a teasing voice.

"This isn't funny!" Elijah exclaimed. "He never stays anywhere overnight, not since the accident. And besides, shouldn't you be worried if he were on a date?" She asked, squinting at him.

Well, fair point. If Kang Yo Han would actually be on a date, Ga On would probably be a little bit jealous about it. But he's pretty sure Yo Han wasn't playing around with anybody. Or at least he hoped so. Then again, it's not like whatever they were doing was actually serious. They never had that kind of conversation.

So, where the hell could he be? Elijah got him worried too all of a sudden.

He's literally been gone the whole day and something didn't sit right with him. Sure, maybe he had something to take care of, but shouldn't he tell them that he wasn't planning on coming back for the night?

And well, if what Elijah said was true and he never stayed overnight anywhere, then something was definitely wrong.

The first thing that came to his mind was to call him, but he obviously didn't answer. He decided to text him then, hoping that he'd text back when he was able to.

To calm Elijah's nerves and also his own, he took her downstairs and he made the both of them some tea.

"Did you do something?" She asked him while they sat in the study, drinking their tea quietly.

"Me?" Ga On frowned. "Why?"

"I don't know," she shrugged. "He's been gone the whole day, the first thing I thought about was that you two got in a fight or something."

Well, she couldn't be further from the truth. Ga On thought that they were actually doing great and he's convinced that Yo Han didn't leave the house because of him, but because he was seriously busy. The fact that he didn't come home probably just meant that whatever he was doing took a little longer than expected.

"We didn't," Ga On simply said.

"So, does that mean that you're fine? Do you actually agree with everything that he's doing with the trials?" She asked with an accusing tone.
