➤ ❝DEMONS.❞ k.hj + p.sh.

6 : SECRET.

The crowd of the Court's hall was noising about the tough male who led the ELITE squad, that was Park Seonghwa. Lot of noises were filling up the room and it was pressuring the small figure a lot , but the pressure got even more heavy as he saw the man that he loved on knees in front of the judges, hands tied up tightly with a hand cuff. The masculine male's eyes narrowed down to the cold marble floor that looked absolutely clean.

Soon the crowd went silent as a knock was heard by the main judge. Seonghwa's eyes light up to see the all might judge. Though he could hear whispers in the room of how the humanity wanted him dead infront of their eyes, he could only roll his eyes back. In the other hand, Hongjoong's heart wrenched at the sight of the older male in front of him. Yet he regained his posture as a respect for the judge. Seonghwa's eyes weren't glimmering as it used to be, they were covered with more fierce.

"Park Seonghwa, ELITE's squad leader, Scorpion's leader."
the aged looking old man spoke while he fidgeted with his glasses.

"3 days ago, do you remember on slaughtering those demons and turned into one...of their kind?"

The statement made him flinch while his eyes opened widely as his head immediately look up upon the counter. Beads of sweats rolled down to the tile from his forehead, what kind of statement was even that? Since when, he turned into a demon itself? Hongjoong gulped the saliva that was lumped in his throat as he looked down to the male that was cuffed to stone statue of warrior in the middle of the court. The whispers seemed to be louder. Everyone was doubting, betting, assuming, talking, which were all negative to Seonghwa. The pressure was also biased to Hongjoong and Seonghwa's allies.

"Kim Hongjoong, any reasons to defend your acquaintance?"

Speechless. Hongjoong was speechless. He knew he got called out because of how close him and Seonghwa was. His adrenaline rushed as Seonghwa's eyes darted on him with his mouth slightly gapped. Hongjoong had no idea on what to defend the older male. What he could remember was calming Seonghwa down until the tough figure ran out of energy. His anxiety kicked in on the wrong timing. He felt hopeless and wanted Seonghwa so much but he couldn't find a reason for it.

"Pardon, your Honour!"
The blonde average height male raised up his hand to gain attention from the chief and also the crowd.

His eyes were sparkling as he tucked a strand of hair to his ear elegantly, his figure looked feminine though he didn't even act like one. The man was Kang Yeosang, leader of the Cerberus. He led the ELITE III's squad as like what the judges had informed. The male stepped into the court as if nothing happened but many were intrigued with his deadly presence. Yeosang held the papers in his hand carefully as he stood in front of the Head Chief Judge and to perform his speech.

"The name is Kang Yeosang, ELITE III's leader, Cerberus's leader. Today I'll hand my opinion on the accused one named Park Seonghwa. But I'll not be alone to speak, I have my own allies too,"
once he trailed off , footsteps echoed through the halls.

Yunho stepped in the court along with San and Jongho. Jeong Yunho, Venom's leader so on the ELITE II lead. Choi San, Falcon's leader and carried the duty of ELITE I's lead.

"as what the half of humanity seen 3 days ago, Park Seonghwa acted differently after the war ended. It was believed that all of the demons had destructed themselves because of the shouting made by Seonghwa himself. However, he was out of control. The good thing was, no harm was received while the outrage lasted even though his close friend, Kim Hongjoong, approached him in such a state. Park Seonghwa was seen slaughtering the demon's lead for the war though the slight outrage happened."
Yeosang spoke, eyes never leaving the Head Judge's dull eyes.

"To add up, it could be a good thing for the humanity to rise once again by using him in the first place."
San spoke as he walked upon Seonghwa, a smirk crept onto his face.

"it's true that he can run out of energy by fighting in the future but we could help him go through. we can even take down the evil if we succeed on turning his DNA into a specialized liquid on some of our trusted troops."
As Yunho spoke, San decided to take out an empty syringe so he could collect some of Seonghwa's DNA, in hopes it'll give benefits to the humanity.

The sharp needle went through Seonghwa's vein as he grunt, he couldn't do anything but only count his life on this. The veins on his neck popped up since he felt tensed at the action, he witnessed his own blood filling up the syringe. As San was done with it, he injected the blood into the small jar and kept it into a secured box.

"I'll hand it to the Cobra's lab and make sure Wooyoung to handle it. It won't be a waste your Honour."
The average tall male bowed before shoved the box into his own coat, looking down to the male who held so much dignity before with a small disappointment in his face.

"Goodnight Seonghwa."

was all the guilt could hear, before everything turned black for him.
