Chapter 133 - Fighting Back 3

'These are all the evidence that we have.' Mr. Lim, the Kim's family lawyer states, looking at the two young males seated in front of him. The omega - Minwoo's mate takes a look at the list, and at the thumb drive before turning his attention back to the lawyer, 'is this the CCTV?'

'Ah, yes. Last time Minwoo came, he refused to watch it alone. Here,' the man inserts it into his computer and turns on the screen in front of them. 

'We have the scene with the three alphas forcing you, and it's clear that you didn't want to be in there with them so they can't say you went there willingly and changed your mind later,' Wonho stares at the recording, reminded of that memory. He did struggle to free himself, and as a result, the grip on his wrist tightened to the point where it bruised.

'And here, you refused to get out, and Juwon pulled you out. You fell down, dragged out. Everything is caught on the recording. This, and the pictures you took is enough to charge him for physical violence' Wonho swallows, finding it hard to watch himself being treated like that, despite having gone through the ordeal himself. And it seems, he is not the only one affected by the video - Minwoo has his hands in fists, his face tight and pheromones strong. 'I'm gonna kill that son of a bitches.'

'You can't.' Wonho begs, pulling him close. He needs to make sure his mate and friends do not do anything to the other two who are still free. Juwon was caught and is currently in lock-up, but Heiran and Sangmo aren't. Apparently, they did not do anything that warrant an arrest. All his friends are aware of that fact, hence why Wonho has to warn them not to do anything. Because if they hurt the two, Wonho may lose his case.

He needs this to come through. He needs to feel like he can still get his justice, even if it is not for that night. 

'You need to be clear that we're charging him for this particular attack, not the one that happened last two years. The punishment he'll get is going to be lighter.' Wonho nods, understanding the situation. Whatever he says to the juries, he will need to prove that he has moved on and has no intention of seeking revenge. Because apparently, Juwon's defence is playing the paranoia card. They even plan to call in Juwon's therapist, as well as other people close to him to build his case.

'You sure you have no one to call to the stand? To prove that they were the one who approached you?' Wonho shakes his head. Jiwoo and Dongchan were there when Heiran introduced them to him, they would know. But he doesn't want to drag them into this. Because then, he will have to tell them why this incident happened in the first place and he rather not. Besides, even without him able to prove that he didn't know about the three, the fact that they attacked him will not change.

'Okay then, let's go through the whole case again.'

'Are you ready?' Minwoo asks, bringing Wonho his hot chocolate and places it on the table next to the book the omega was reading. The latter was just on the phone with his parents, explaining what is happening tomorrow. Shaking his head, the omega sighs, already tired. 

They just have to do well tomorrow, and he will finally get his well deserved rest.

Honestly, the past few weeks had been hectic. He thought the moment he made that report, everything will be settled. But instead, even with enough evidence, they still have to bring the matter to court. Because Juwon refuse to admit he was wrong. And thus began the ordeal of finding a lawyer, meeting Juwon's lawyer, presenting his case and what not.

It is mentally and physically exhausting. And somehow, it made him feel lucky that he didn't have to do it the first time. God knows how that would have affected his mental health. He might have end up so broken he wouldn't be able to pick himself up again.

Thankfully for him, Minwoo's family lawyer is a very renowned attorney who wins almost all of his cases. Although, despite their connection and the noble alpha's offer, Wonho's parents insists on paying for Mr. Lim themselves. They want to be a part of his son's fight for his justice, and Wonho wants to do this himself, without Minwoo's help too. This is his fight.

Besides, Minwoo wouldn't be the one paying had he accepted the offer anyways. His family will, which means there is a high chance that they will want to know what the lawyer fee is spent for. Wonho is not going to take the chance.

Taking the document Mr. Lim gave him a few days before, Wonho reads through it again. Just because. A bunch of possible questions the defence attorney will ask him is listed along with how Wonho should answer it. Giving the papers to his mate, Wonho requests, 'Ask me the questions.'

'We did this a few times already. You need to rest.' Minwoo points at the clock which shows a little past 12. Their jury trial will start in the afternoon so there are plenty of time to practise tomorrow. It is better to do so, instead of sleeping late and risk waking up late as well.

'I'd rather you attack me tonight than tomorrow,'

'Owh I'd love to atta-mphh' a pillow is thrown onto the alpha's face, and the man pretends to be hurt. On the couch, Wonho only rolls his eyes at the overreaction. 

'Come on,' Minwoo calls to his mate, 'I'll help you tomorrow. We'll wake up early.'

Wonho let a loud sigh to show his annoyance and take the forgotten cup of hot cocoa let on the table, 'shouldn't have made me hot chocolate if we're gonna sleep this early.'

Wonho hears Minwoo's chuckle from the bedroom.
