The Wrong Judgment

11 - The Realization and Sudden Distance

Yo Han should have expected that during the weird situation with Jung Sun Ah and Cha Kyung Hee, he could be ambushed by either of them at any time.

He was surprised to see Jung Sun Ah though, when he opened his eyes after a brief nap he had at his barber shop. When he noticed the woman with a blade in front of his face, he panicked a little, but obviously he couldn't show how surprised he was.

Instead, he needed to let her know how desperate he was for her help, because he actually really needed her in the middle of this.

And to show her that he cared, he invited her to his house.

He knew she'd be obsessed with the idea, because for some reason she loved this cursed mansion.

Before he got inside the car though, he texted Ga On quickly to let him know that he would be coming to dinner at the house with Jung Sun Ah in about an hour and he asked him to prepare something.

Ga On sent him back a bunch of question marks, but then he added that he's cooking dinner at the moment anyway, so it's not a problem to just make more food.

Yo Han also texted him to remind Ga On to behave himself and warn him that Sun Ah cannot know about whatever is happening between them and that she's a key factor in their plans.

Once he got home, he headed straight to the kitchen and he could hear very slow steps of Sun Ah behind him. He realized she must have been scanning the house very carefully, probably reminiscing.

It's exactly what he wanted, for her to remember what it was like to live here, to spend time with him. He needed her to be vulnerable.

He noticed that when Ga On came out of the kitchen and invited her to the dinner table, Sun Ah wasn't happy. Her eyes were shiny and excited when she was talking to Yo Han, but as soon as she saw Ga On, the spark in her disappeared.

Was she disappointed that he was here, perhaps?

Was it not a good idea that he brought her here after all?

Would her jealousy be a problem here?

He was hoping he didn't make a mistake.

And as soon as they sat down at the table and Ga On placed everything on it, Sun Ah looked at the younger man with wide eyes. "Did you really prepare all of this, Judge Kim? You cook?" She asked, clearly surprised seeing all that food.

"Well, I'm living here thanks to you, so I'm trying to be of use," Ga On said, clearly referring to the fact that he's been staying here ever since the explosion at the courthouse, that was apparently organized by the foundation.

Yo Han snorted internally and he almost wanted to kill him. He didn't expect Ga On to be like that, so he looked his way and sent him a look that said he wanted him to shut up.

"But your wounds probably healed by now, right?" Sun Ah smiled at him. "There's no reason for you to keep staying here and paying for it with food," she chuckled. "I have to say it's impressive though, I had no idea you had so many talents, Judge Kim."

"I could say the same about you," Ga On smiled at her. "I had no idea you had so many talents as well," he added.

Sun Ah's face changed quickly after she heard that and she didn't look happy.

Yo Han couldn't believe Ga On chose to act like that, but he was very amused by the whole thing.

Thankfully Elijah decided to cut in. "Who is she again?" She asked, very confused as to why they had a guest.

"She's a part of the production for the show," Yo Han said.

Elijah nodded at that. She probably knew a bit about Sun Ah, because she must have heard some of their conversations at times, he's sure of it.
