The day of the court case arrived, and on the first day, Hyukjae had to go in with the cast on his foot. Hyukjae’s mother only called that morning, she said she was advised by the psychologist to not attend the court case because it wouldn’t be beneficial to Hyukjae or her, or their future relationship.
He was feeling so sick as they sat down in the court room, but Donghae was there, sitting beside his lawyer and him. When they called him to testify, he looked at Donghae, as Sungmin suggested.
