Although today they had no choice but to accommodate the circumstances, he hinted that it would be difficult next time. At that, Kim Yoojun smirked and chuckled.
It wasn’t a laughing matter at all, yet Kim Yoojun kept making farting noises. Why was he laughing like that, like a useless guy? A heat surged through Jiho’s throat.
“In situations where we’re both busy, it’s good to come and go quickly.”
“…….?”
“Isn’t it? Prosecutor Kang Ji Ho.”
He wanted to get rid of that annoying, cheeky guy who was like a small, rotten egg right in front of him. However, the investigation had just started, and at least six hours were expected to be spent with him. Jiho’s head throbbed at the thought.
“We’ll start the investigation right away.”
Jiho focused only on the data, not wanting to engage in a confrontation with Kim Yoojun. He didn’t give any room for his irritating antics to affect him.
The air in the investigation room settled heavily, like cotton soaked with water.
Questioning, rebuttal.
Then questioning again, and refusing statements. The same situation repeated like a broken record.
“Don’t waste time with unnecessary talk.”
“I’m doing as the constitution dictates. Don’t you know your right to defense?”
“Keep it reasonable.”
“It’s not reasonable for me. Well, any issues?”
Like stepping on discarded gum, Kim Yoojun annoyingly stuck around. Unable to endure it any longer, Jiho raised his hand.
“Wait, I’ll take a break.”
Two hours had already passed since the investigation began, and Jiho was concerned about Hojin, who had gone to the hospital. Returning with thick records to the office, Jiho immediately called Hojin without a moment to catch his breath.
“Hojin.”
[Senior, Ms. La Jin’s mother is in the intensive care unit, right?]“Is she in critical condition?”
“Yes, she’s in a coma right now.”
Hojin continued to explain that her mother was having difficulty breathing.
Jiho was well aware of her mother’s medical condition and the aftermath of the traffic accident. He had heard that she was quite fine lately, so why did she suddenly become so ill? He felt nothing but sympathy.
“The medical staff says there’s no hope.”
“Ha.”
A sigh of despair escaped from his lips.
Between personal morality and professional responsibility, Jiho was caught in a dilemma.
‘Should I release O Jonghyuk?’
In reality, releasing O Jonghyuk wouldn’t make the charges disappear immediately. Even if he did, if O Jonghyuk went outside and acted recklessly, it could come back as a boomerang for the special prosecutor. That aspect made Jiho hesitate.
However, the deliberation and decision didn’t take long. Someone had to be by the side of the critically ill patient for now.
“Understood. I’ll contact the other departments.”
“As soon as I organize here, I’ll go in.”
With a farewell greeting, the call with Hojin concluded.
It felt like walking through a foggy street. Vague and suffocating… Suddenly feeling stuffy, Jiho quickly raised the blinds covering the window.
The sun, now slanting.
Jiho stared at the sun, seeming to have chewed discarded gum.
‘How could I miss such an important case?’
Leaving behind the pouring regret, Jiho picked up the office phone.
“Hello. This is Kang Jiho.”
Addressing the other person who briefly inquired about his well-being, Jiho brought up O Jonghyuk’s name first.
“I have no objection to the continued detention of the suspect O Jonghyuk. You can release him today.”
Leonardo da Vinci Airport.
La Jin was dealing with the airline desk, while Haeun was in chaos trying to book a flight to Korea online.
Whether there were many tourists going to Korea or many Koreans returning after visiting Europe, it felt like everyone had collectively swept up all the tickets to Korea.
“There must be at least one canceled ticket.”
It felt like everyone conspired to sweep away all the flights to Korea.
Even if they departed immediately, the flight time alone exceeded 10 hours. What if something happened to her mother during that time? La Jin’s heart turned pitch black.
What was fortunate was that, thanks to the consideration of the local staff, she didn’t receive a penalty for the filming mishap. Instead, they had reached a verbal agreement to attend three promotional events in Korea.
“Haeun. The earliest flight I could get is tomorrow night, so I’ve booked it for now.”
La Jin had planned to wait for canceled tickets even if it meant sleeping at the airport tonight.
“Sis! How about taking a flight to Paris an hour later?”
“If you take that, can you depart tonight?”
“Without checking in baggage, you could just run there naked.”
Haeun urged La Jin to leave all her belongings with her and pushed her out like that.
In the hastily made decision for the flight to Paris, La Jin embraced Haeun tightly before going to the boarding process alone.
“I couldn’t take care of you. Sorry for leaving it here.”
Leaving behind the large bag and Haeun, Jiho couldn’t step away.
“Huh? Why are you crying? Be strong and don’t cry. Okay? Sis.”
Amidst Haeun’s comforting words, assuring her that her mother would be fine and not to worry, La Jin just nodded. At times like this, it was hard to tell who was the older sister and who was the younger one. Eventually, with tears, La Jin turned away.
The slow immigration process, the delayed departure in Paris due to gate connection issues – La Jin almost missed the hard-won flight.
How many times did her heart race, and how many sighs did she let out? With difficulty, La Jin managed to board the flight to Korea.
Even inside the plane, she wore a hat and mask, afraid of being recognized. She endured the long flight with only a bottle of water, rejecting the in-flight meal.
As soon as the announcement signaling arrival was heard, La Jin stood up first. Wearing only a small bag on her shoulder, she swiftly passed through immigration.
‘Let’s take a taxi first and then contact the hospital.’
In order not to lose her composure, La Jin relentlessly pondered the things she had to do next.
The gates of the immigration hall repeatedly opened and closed, and in between, people who came to greet others appeared in her sight.
With the brim of her hat pulled down to her eyebrows, La Jin walked, only looking at her feet.
In that moment, a clean pair of shoes approached beside La Jin’s white sneakers. And the very familiar citrus scent brushed against her nose.
“Jiho?”
At the calling of his name, La Jin was sucked into his large embrace.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
