The judge motions for everyone to leave, so the people start walking out of the room.

Once I'm sure there's no one but me, my lawyer, and the judge in the room, and I leave the podium and stand in front of his seat.

Mr. Seo: Listen, I'm willing to pay $50,000 if you change the judgement and make me win this case. What do you think?

He shakes his head.

Mr. Seo: $60,000.

Same response.

Mr. Seo: $70,000.

He shakes his head yet again, making me irritated.

Mr. Seo: Final offer, $100,000. This is the best deal you'll ever get.

He looks away, probably thinking, and responds soon after.

Judge: Fine, but I'll have to call everyone back in.

I nod my head and walk back to my podium.

Everyone has a price. And this judge's price is $100,000.

He presses a button on his desk and everyone walks back in, sitting down in their seats.

I see Changbin looking at me and I smirk.

This fucker thought everything would be so easy.

He knows nothing about the real world.

Judge: After speaking privately with Mr. Seo, I have decided to change the judgement.

Everyone's eyes go wide and gasps can be heard.

Everyone turns to each other and starts whispering, but I can still make out some of the comments.

"Did he really give a bribe?"

"I didn't know he would stoop so low to win this case."

"I can't believe the judge agreed"

"Yeah, he's known for being loyal to justice and everything. How much could have offered to twist such a good person?"

"I guess businessmen like him can really get away with anything."

"I feel bad for those boys, having to lose this case after being so close to winning."

These comments only add fuel to my fire.

Are they crazy? Those brats are gay. 

They don't deserve to live, much less win this case.

I should've left Changbin in that cell and let him die.

Judge: Silence! The final judgement is...

Everyone is at the edge of their to hear the judgement, but I just smile, knowing I'll win.

Judge: Mr. Seo must serve 20 years in jail for child abuse and attempt at bribery.
