***** Another Tuseday *****
"God I hate him", she thought as she stirred and the blank Hospital walls.
"Fell down the stairs, my ass!!! What is this the seventh time she "fell" down
the stairs!?!?!" she thought as she laid her damp forehead against the cool
wall to the left of her. She glared at the happy clown picture on the adjoining
wall. "Who the hell puts a scary ass clown in a hospital emergency room?" She
muttered quietly to her self as a chill ran up her spine. The movement jostles
the sleeping bundle in her arms. "Oh; it's okay honey" she cooed softly to the
squirming baby in her arms. "Dots very sorry she woke you up," she said as the
baby began to fuss in earnest. "go to sleep little babe; go to sleep little
babe; your momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay; didn't leave nobody
but the baby; go to sleep little baby." She sang softly to the now asleep
child. She marveled at him, so beautiful, so smart, so.........perfect she
mused silently to her self. "Yun." Snapping to attention as her name was
called. "Eonni," she answered, emotionless as she looked at her sister. Bruises
painted the entirety of her body. Scars and scabs adored the bruises as if they
were some sort of gruesome decorations. Her muddy soul reflected in the hollow
mirrors of her eyes. She was hunched over, like a caged animal whose seen the
horror of the slaughterhouse. Yun looked down at the baby again, fast asleep in
her arms. "How is it?" Her sister asked. "HE is fine," she answered curtly
"sleeping away like he needs." She sighed, lightly stroking his brows. Yun
looked up to see a flash of something in her sister's eyes, an emotion gone far
too quickly for Yun to comprehend it. Her eyes were now cast down towards her
bony hands. " I thought you were going to leave him," Yun said softly, concern
bleeding through her tone. Her sister concentrated on the sheets, not saying a
word. This is an old argument Yun thought quietly to her self. Long ago this
was an argument of screams and anger, now only silence reverberates off the
walls. Yun never wanted to feel this way towards her sister, but Indifference
sneaks in subtly. She wants to laugh hysterically at the irony of this
situation. "I've studied abusive relationships my entire life, beginning with
my own parents, but I never thought the Eonni would succumb to the same
faults," she thought quietly. Her sister laid back down and stared at the white
walls, trying desperately to look at something other than the pair. Yun
frowned, looking at her sister's mangled body was uncomfortable. She looked
down and pressed herself gently against the baby's forehead and whispers
lovingly, "At least I have you, little Sangwoo".
***** Telling Truths *****
Chapter Notes
     Woot woot i got another one on yay me lol. So college has ruined me
     so my sources for the statistics are in MLA format at the end of
     notes I'm so sorry
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Approximately thirty-three percent of children will be abused by the time they
reach age 18.” Although the sentence was spoken softly, the room became eerily
quiet. She gripped the podium tightly as she continued reading out loud what
was on the page. “90 percent of victims know their abuser, and 78.1 percent of
the perpetrators are the child's own parents.” Yun looks up from her page,
seeing a mix of disgust and sympathy on their faces. “And 30 percent of abused
children grow up to abuse or allow their own children to be maltreated.” she
took a deep breath to steel herself and began to speak again. “My sister and I
were subject to systematic abuse by our biological father. Our parents wed when
they found out that they were pregnant with my elder sister. They were so happy
until he began to work as a police officer. That job changed him. Instead of
coming home happy to a loving wife and daughters, he came home tired and
stressed. He started looking for a way to escape, and then he found alcohol.
The beer made him forget the horrors of what he had seen that day, but it also
made him violent and angry. The abuse started little, first it was shoving,
then hitting, and finally, he found tools to help his wife and daughters hurt.
This drinking affected his job, and eventually, he was taken off the force and
confined to a desk and papers. He began coming home drunk, and then not until
the next day.” Yun quietly flipped to the next page in her notes and began
again “The sexual abuse began for us when I was ten.” The admission feels like
nothing to Yun, merely a fact, and facts cannot be changed. "The abuse for all
of us continued over the years, although in much less violent ways for my
stepmother and sister. I understood that I was their scapegoat, with me he was
less violent and had an outlet for his pent up emotions. Nothing would change
this so I accepted it as truth. Our father passed away due to cirrhosis of the
liver when I was 14, and my stepmother when will him two months after. My
sister, being 20 at the time, found a job and supported us while I went to
school. I graduated early in order to find a good-paying job help her with
money. I was scouted for an elite College in the United States by the time I
was 16, and with her support, I left to find a better life for both of us. It
was during this time she met a man and fell in love soon after they had a
child, and then beatings begin again. I returned from college and found her to
be a different person, with a man who was a beast violent and angry, and the
only person I have ever truly loved in my life, her son Sangwoo.” Yun smiled
wistfully. “ I tell you our life story today not because I want you to feel
sympathy for my client and me, but because I want you to understand that the
systematic abuse she had suffered her for her entire life is the only reason
this woman was not able to protect her son and herself. She was terrified and
not strong enough to fend him off so she submitted trying and make the sure
things would be better for her son. But when I witnessed the abuse first have
as responsible citizen chose to involve the court and to save this family." Yun
Turned to the other people in the courtroom, "Honor judge members of the jury I
beg you see this man for what he truly is nothing more than an angry man who
raised his fists to his loving wife and child. Please protect these people who
cannot protect themselves, and stop this cycle of abuse. I thank the judge and
jury for the time and know you will make the right decision.” With that show of
emotional grandiose, she sat back down at the desk appointed for the Prosecutor
and locked eyes with the defendant. The father of her nephew looked good in
orange prison jump suit. She smirked to herself and waited for the opposition
to make their move. "I have a licence to practice law in 10 countries and have
not lost a single case in the five years I have been a prosecutor, this will be
no difference" she promised herself.

     So i ran the chapter through gramarly but of you find any grammatical
     errors you can always let me know, whether or not I get around to
     fixing them who can say LOL. I'm having surgery tomorrow so hopefully
     I'll be able to finished another chapter within the next couple days.
     Feel free to leave comments questions whatever. What age do you think
     Sangwoo should be during this? I'm thinking around 1 maybe 2 but I'm
     not sure

***** Using Lies *****
Chapter Summary
     Sorry for the late update this chapter took for EVER to write :(
By the time the guilty verdict was rendered, no one was surprised. It took a
jury of 12 thirty minutes to convict the defendant and sentence him to 10 years
in prison without chance of parole, on account of his previous record of
Aggravated assault and Assault with a deadly weapon when the police tried to
apprehend him. Everyone in the courtroom knew he was guilty, even his attorney
who begged for weeks for a plea deal. Yun was almost tempted to accept if only
to get the sniveling man to shut up, but the satisfaction of knowing that
Sanqwoo’s father would receive the best hospitality that state prison had to
offer kept Yun from accepting. With his fate now decided, the court moved on to
the custody of sangwoo himself. “This will to go perfectly” she promised
herself as The Jury slowly filled out, adoption and custody cases are decided
by the judge. Normally a lawyer who represented the prosecution would never be
allowed to be a candidate for the child but with Sangwoos mother in a
psychiatric hospital for violent bouts of paranoia and his father going to jail
for abuse of him and his mother, the next of kin left only Yun. Not that she
minded, she loved sangwoo so much it hurt sometimes. She never thought she
could love, and definitely to the extent that she loved that little boy. His
eyes are like the sea during a storm, all gray and blue hues. When he smiles
Yun can see subtle hints of darker colors, waiting beneath the sea. “And I will
not lose him,” she thought fiercely. She began assessing everyone in the room.
Their importance, their opinions, and possibilities of them standing in her
way. Judge Jin Soo was no threat, he tried to pick her up in the Red Light
District last year while she was doing some undercover research. Yun's had him
by the balls ever since. Next was the case manager, Mi Na. She is a nice enough
woman, late 50’s no children and way past her prime so she advocates for
children in the adoption courts. She's a stickler for the rules and might be a
problem later. Thankfully her boss and co-representative is a man Yun is very
familiar with. Hyeon meaning person of virtue, what a load a shit she thought
with a grin on her face. He was accused five years ago of using donations on
personal items, one of which was an 18-year-old prostitute, “I was the one to
get him off Scot free and he owes me everything and I intend to collect this
time” As a lawyer you don't have the luxury of choosing between right and
wrong, you are only there to win. Morals are great in theory, but as a lawyer
morals tend to get in the way.
***** Yelling Lies *****
Chapter Summary
     Woot Woot finally some action!! I am so sorry it's taken SO FREAKING
     LONG to get here. But I see the horizon. The longer more interesting
     horizon lol.
“This is it, this is what's going to kill me!!!” Yun though bitterly. She
glances down at the burgundy watch on her left wrist and groans as it reads 4:
45 pm, “Mi Na has been talking for fifty-five minutes” she groans into her
hands. She can feel a migraine pushing its way behind her eyes. This is
ridiculous she thinks, this little “speech” holds no relevance to this case and
she has yet to even say Sangwoo’s name. She looks around to find the others in
no better shape than she. She giggles, Judge Jin Soo has dozed off and Mi Na
hasn't even noticed. Myung her assistant gently placed a cup of coffee on the
table for her, she smiles and nods her head in thanks. Myung was a nice young
girl with short dark hair and even darker eyes, she was relatively attractive,
which will only help her career. Yun cradles the cup gratefully and almost
purrs in contentment as she drinks. She leaned back in her chair and discreetly
whispers “Twenty dollars says that there will be drool on the court order.”
Myung knits her eyebrows in confusion, and Yun nods her head towards the now
asleep judge. Myung's eyes widened and her mouth formed a small “o” as
understanding crossed her features. “Someone once told me to never take a bet
unless I can win, so I, unfortunately, decline your bet,” Myung said giggling.
Yun smiled as she looks back at the proceedings, Heyon is desperately trying to
get some sort of information on the record and is sorely losing the battle.
Yun loudly cleared her throat, causing the napping Judge to almost fall off his
chair, and begin speaking " Your honor, as much as I'm sure we would all love
to hear Ms. Mi Na continue to spill useless information out of her mouth,
unfortunately, this is a legal court charged with deciding what will happen to
this poor child." She looked over in time to see Mi Na's face turn into a swirl
of red rage, it looks hilarious but Yun cannot afford to show that type of
emotion now. She waits for judge Jin Soo's nod and begins her case.
"Your honor, the law is clear in cases of abuse and neglect the child will go
to the other parent, and if that parent is unfit as well, then the child will
go to the next of kin. Your honor, I am the last kin that Sangwoo has. I am
more than financially stable, I have an impeccable legal record, and am fully
qualified to take cair of my beloved nephew." she said with a smile.
Mi Na scoffed and said " Your honor there are reasons we have laws, and they
keep all of us safe. The attorney who put his father away adopting him can only
be confusing to the child. What if we did this for every abuse case?!?! This
cannot be good for anyone especially the child!!" she finished the statement
almost yelling, her face red and puffy.
"I made this personal; oopsie," Yun thought to herself giggling a little.
"Judge Jin Soo, I believe my college is letting her personal beliefs get in the
way of what it truly the best option for Sangwoo. He is a child who has had
everything he knew ripped away from him in such a short period of time. He
needs stability and something familiar to help him through this tough
transition. I understand this is a unique situation and it would not work in
every case, but this is a unique child. Choosing anything else would be a
disservice to him and not what he needs to be a happy and healthy child."
"Oh please" Mi Na began "this is an obviously blatant misuse of power and I
will not stand for it!! and Furthermore-"
"If I may be permitted to speak!" Hyeon loud voice boomed through the
courtroom. "As a completely neutral third party, I believe Sangwoo could not be
placed in better hands. As a representative of the Children's Protection Bureau
we have always strived to place the child first with fitting family, and here
we have a family member who the child is already familiar with and loves.
Instead of preventing a child from being adopted into an amazing home because
of some small triviality. There are millions of children every day being
abandoned or being placed in an abusive house why don't we allow both Sangwoo
and Yun to be happy" His eyes bore into Yun's looking for some sort of
approval, like an eager puppy, she smiled and made a slight incline of her head
to signal he did well. They all turned towards Judge Jin Soo to see him looking
in deep thought. The room was silent, no one wanted to disturb him less they
prove the other right. Yun practically held her breath, plans, unfortunately,
go awry, and if he did not agree with her, Yun needed a pan B. Kidnapping is
not the best course of action but she will not lose him. "I have always been a
very selfish woman," she thought ironically "as though love could ever be
selfish."
Judge Jun Soo took off his glasses and sighed "this case is at its core not
about the laws," he said slowly, "it's about a child who is afraid and alone
who is in desperate need of love and stability, I believe Yun can provide that"
he said pinning down Mi Na with his glare. That said I am appointing Yun
Sangwoo's legal garden and awarding her full custody. If and when his mother
and father have fully rehabilitated themselves the decision of returning
custody to his parents up to Yun. Case dismissed" he said signing the custody
paper in front of him and banging the gavel twice.
Yun smiled triumphantly, and said, "Thank you, your Honor."
End Notes
     this is my first Killing Staking fan fic. this idea has been in my
     head for a while and I am finally writing it (yay me). I Want to
     update this every week, but it will probably be more like every other
     week lol. Eonnie is the google translate word for sister, I REALLY
     don't want to name either one of Sangwoo's parents because they are
     not named yet in the Manga.
