The Wrong Judgment

8 - The Final Choice

Yo Han came home alone that night and he couldn't not feel how empty the house was without Ga On. It's been quite a while since Ga On basically started living with them and he has to admit he has gotten used to it. He knows Elijah is used to it as well.

And he noticed that when he came into the house and saw the pure disappointment on her face when she realized that Ga On wouldn't spend the night at the mansion today.

Or possibly any other day.

Yo Han is glad the younger man decided to go to his own place though. He could see how angry Ga On was at him back when they were still at work. Adding the Do Young Choon situation to that was a bit much and it was understandable that Ga On needed a minute alone to think and deal with his anger.

He certainly wouldn't want to have Ga On's raging persona in the house, throwing himself at Yo Han again out of anger.

Yo Han decided to get him out of his head and focus on what's important now. He was away yesterday and he needed to catch up on what's been happening, so he called K on his way to work.

When he got to his office, he saw something he wasn't expecting.

Seo Jeong Hak was dead.

And they put a video of his last words on TV.

He's been gone one evening and something like that happened.

He certainly underestimated Jung Sun Ah. Yo Han knew she was crazy, but that was on a completely different level. He didn't think she'd be capable of killing someone, especially her boss.

That was a problem.

She was a crazy woman on the loose and Yo Han had no control over her. She could ruin all of his plans.

Yo Han hasn't been this pissed in a very long time. The president and his friends were one annoying thing, but Jung Sun Ah turned out to be the biggest problem of all for now. She was a liability and she was definitely unpredictable.

When he finally processed all that, he called K back and they discussed what was happening.

Just after he finished the call, Ga On entered his office without knocking. He wasn't sure Ga On would come to work today, considering what happened last night and how upset he was. Yo Han thought he'd call in sick or something, but it seemed like he was determined to work.

"What the hell are they doing?" Ga On asked when he came in.

So, he must have seen everything.

"It's Jung Sun Ah, she did it on purpose," Yo Han told him right away. "They're turning a crisis into an opportunity. They got rid of Seo Jeong Hak to gain some sympathy and use him as the scapegoat."

Ga On looked at him with utter shock, like he wasn't expecting him, almost like he didn't believe what Yo Han just said to him.

Now, Ga On was a liability as well.

Yo Han couldn't have him walking around sad and confused all the time. He needed Ga On to get back in the game with a clear head.

"Look, I know you're still in shock, but I need you to pull yourself together," Yo Han said, turning to him with a serious expression on his face. "We're in the middle of a war and it's just gotten that much serious. You need to think things through and decide what you want to do once and for all."

Ga On looked incredibly conflicted but he managed half a smile. "I know," he nodded. "I just—" He started, but when he felt tears gather in his eyes, he stopped himself, afraid that he might cry in front of his Chief.
