"Why won't Yo-han turn to darkness?" The question reverberated through the somber air, a plea heavy with sorrow.
Yo-han, a man whose heart had been shattered by cruel fate, had not only lost the love of his life,Isaac but also the precious child Is...
"As we are aware," the prosecutor continued, "under the law, Mr. Young-min can only be charged if the victims wish it. It is a unique provision, one that recognizes the complexities of certain situations. Your Honor, Chef Kim Sung-hoon is the victim in this case. He has the power to decide whether he wants Young-min, a young man with his whole life ahead of him, to be punished for the crimes he allegedly committed against him."
Tension gripped the courtroom as all eyes remained fixed on Chef Kim Sung-hoon. The silence was palpable, broken only by the soft murmur of the air conditioning.
Finally, in a voice barely louder than a whisper, Chef Kim Sung-hoon spoke. "I... I don't want Young-min punished."
His words hung in the air, a heavy silence following in their wake. It was a moment of profound significance, a testament to the intricacies of justice and the humanity of those involved. The weight of his decision, a reflection of his own inner struggle, was felt by everyone present.
With a measured and respectful tone, Yo-han inquired, "Chef Kim Sung-hoon, you had been adamant in your initial petition for Mr. Young-min to be brought to justice. Can you please explain what changed your mind?"
Chef Kim Sung-hoon's shoulders slumped with an additional burden, one that he kept hidden deep within his heart. Unbeknownst to those in the courtroom, Chef Kim Sung-hoon's building, his home, and the homes of many other residents were being sold due to the ongoing legal battle he had initiated against Young-min.
His head remained bowed, not out of shame, but out of profound sadness for the impending loss of his home and the disruption it would bring to the lives of his neighbors.

"Chef Kim Sung-hoon," Judge Yo-han spoke gently, "I sense that there may be more to your decision than what you've shared with us today. Is there something else you wish to tell the court?"
As the prosecutor, still wearing a smug expression, announced that the charges against Young-min were being withdrawn, a palpable tension filled the courtroom. The sudden turn of events left the spectators and legal teams in shock, and all eyes turned to the young defendant who had been at the center of the case.
Young-min, his face a mixture of relief and guilt, stood up. His voice quivered slightly as he addressed the court, "Your Honor, I would like to speak."
Judge Yo-han nodded. Young-min bowed deeply, his expression earnest. "Chef Kim Sung-hoon, I want to apologize from the depths of my heart. What I did was not just a mistake; it was a grave injustice. I caused you pain and suffering, and for that, I am truly sorry."
