COURTROOM NUMBER 4.

the atmosphere inside the courtroom number 4 is nothing but scary, a number of people watching them from the gallery of the courtroom. there minju stands behind the defense bench, her heart about to explode, beside her was nako, standing so strong with all confidence. across her was the prosecutor, a female one, her aura was a confident one, her outfit was the same uniform as nako and minju, assuming that she was from the same university, arms crossed as her eyes bore in minju's head.

"oh so you are kim minju the defendant?" the judge asks, minju shot up, nodding frantically as she gulped, the judge nodded to himself.

"who is the defense lawyer of the defendant?" asked the judge again, before nako could have raised her hand there was a shout that shook the whole courtroom from a girl.

"me!" there kim minju stands, her hands raised up in the air, it was noticable how it was shaking, nako looked confused. "wait minju-"

"nako. trusts me, please, just help me, i can't risks you losing here." minju interrupted, there nako frowns towards the taller girl. upset, yet she has no choice, if this is what minju wants, who is she to say no?

"are you the murderer?" nako asked, earning a gasps from minju, shaking her head as fast as she can, minju answers. "no! it can't be, i simply picked up the gun!"

nako chuckled and nodded. the only thing she could do is trust her friend, make sure her answers are precise and correct.

and avoid the prosecutor from getting her guilty verdict.

"what is this your baldness? someone without a badge defending herself? what could she know?" questions sprung from the prosecution's side, there standing the prodigy prosecutor none other than ahn yujin herself, also a student from enozi university.

"that is, why she needs to answer the questions i have prepared to make sure she will be able to defend herself." a hum was heard from the prosecution as ms. ahn nods.

"well your baldness, let's hear her answers!" nako scoffs, hearing how much this ahn yujin has complete control to the courtroom, it was going to be bad for the defense, considering that this prosecutor has practiced the art of manipulation and simon says game.

"ms. kim-" "YES!?" as soon as her voice rang against the wooden walls of the courtroom, everything was silent. the judge coughs due to surprise with the sudden outburst.

"minju, calm down, shouting won't get us anywhere." nako stated, minju silently nodded, preparing herself.

"if you are not able to answer the questions, we are going to have to put you in the defendant's chair and ms. yabuki will defend you."

minju nods, wiping the buckets of sweat in her forehead.

"yes your honor."

"first, what is the name of the defendant?"

this is easy. minju thought- i just have to say my name.

"kim minju, your honor."

from her peripheral vision, she could see ms. ahn yawning out of boredom, clearly waiting for her time to speak.

"correct. second, what is the name of the victim?"

oh, come again? minju froze, immediately forgetting who was the victim.

"minju, look at the court records, at people, there you can see who the victim is." nako whispers.

right. court records, gosh.

minju opens the court records to look for the name and there it is-

dr. jung jinwoo.

the korean half british medical professor at our university.

"dr. jung jinwoo, your honor." the judge nods his head, proceeding to the last question.

"lastly, what is the cause of the death?"

what-? what is it again?

"again, minju at the court record evidence. the victim's postmortem- autopsy report is written."

oh, okay.

ah there it is.

a shot on the chest in point blank range.

"your honor, the cause of death is a shot on the chest in point blank range cause by a pistol." minju answered, her hands shaking as she slowly place it down the table.

"that's it, ms. kim, you are qualified to defend yourself with ms. yabuki's assistance." the judge announced, the judge then hits the gavel two times, signalling the start of the trial.

"now this is where the real thing starts minju." nako stated, her eyes fixated to the tall prosecutor across them, wearing the smug smirk she could ever put in her face.

"finally! that was very boring!" a remark from ms. ahn was heard.

"now, now. your baldness! the prosecution is ready." a loud bang coming from the prosecution bench was heard, startling minju and minju alone.

"t-the uhhh- the defense is ready too,, your honor." yujin could not help herself but to chuckle hearing the strain on minju's voice.

"my my, don't be nervous pretty girl, i'll be gentle ahahahaha!" minju could hear the laughs of the younger prosecutor from the other side and the scoff nako made from beside her.

what's gonna happen?

minju doesn't know, but- she isn't ready to know, her life, would be ruined if she ever gets the guilty verdict.

she needs to get a not guilty, whatever happens, and give this prosecutor a lesson to humble her down.
