Leo's eyes opened to find himself in a hospital bed.

S: Taekwoonie

Leo: Hyung... what happened?

S: You fainted.

Leo: Hyung... why are you still here?

S: I know you want to protect my career but if we really want to put that guy behind bars

Leo: Hyung... I missed you

Leo hugged his hyung

Ravi: *cough* So, you feeling better?

Leo: Ravi-ah... Yes. I'm fine. Both of you can stop worrying about me. Jaehwan was right back then, I have to speak up, I was a coward but not anymore.

Hongbin: Hyung...

Leo: Why are you just standing at the door?

Leo went out of the bed and walked towards the door

S: Taekwoonie, wait

Leo: I said I'm okay... Binnie, where is Hakyeon?

N: Right here of course!

CEO H: And I am also here.

Leo: Oh! B-but

CEO H: Why didn't you tell me? Hongbin told me that guy tried to assault him and you two protected him but I didn't know you already knew that guy from before.

Leo: I-I'm sorry...

CEO H: My boys... I didn't send you to that show to be treated like this.

Ravi: I'm sorry, hyung, you took us in and all we do is give you trouble.

N: Ken told hyung the same thing he told the judge that day...

Ravi: Hyung, there's more to it. I know we told you we only pushed him and he hurt himself but truth is...

CEO H: Did I ask? Don't speak then. You think I don't know about the rumors of Jaehwan's past and that I didn't had my suspicious about your arrest; I took you in because I know you are good kids, all of you. Because Taekwoon here would never bring home someone who is not good. You are like my sons. If you do something wrong I'll make sure you get punishment but if you are good boys then of course you can count on me and I'll be right here for you.

The older man hugged Leo.

--------------


Leo: You were not there, a man fell almost dead over Taekwoon, that would traumatize anyone, the body slipped to the floor and we thought he was dead, we almost wished he was. Taekwoon had never wished for someone's death, you think it was easy to deal with something like that?


Leo was sent to talk to a psychiatrist because when he was interrogated (by the lawyer his boss had hired) he seemed to have a change in his reaction when being pressured. Leo's hyung had rushed to explain he had a trauma from the past and after seeing someone almost die next to him there was no way his mind wouldn't be affected. Leo said he was just fine but Ravi said he did act weird sometimes.


P: So, I'll need you to tell me everything that happened

Leo: I know...

P: It's not a joke, you know? The man you are trying to get convicted used to be the CEO of one of the most influential agencies, he's still a really important personality and you must have solid arguments. So tell me EVERYTHING, no matter how hurtful, you have to say it!
