The only person who needed to visit the dermatology clinic was Rajin, who had injured her hand. Anxious, Jiho quickly pressed the call button.
“Yes.”
[It’s me.]As expected, it was Rajin.
Her breath sounded close, as if she was covering her mouth with her hand. Instantly, Jiho’s heart sank.
“What’s the matter?”
Leaving her functional phone behind and calling from the clinic’s number. Had they been discovered even before making a move? Jiho tried to maintain his composure.
[I’ll tell you the details when we meet.]“Are you okay first?”
[I’m okay, for now.]There was definitely something wrong.
“Tell me the time and place.”
[The hospital’s 15th-floor outdoor garden. 9 PM.]“Alright.”
[Come secretly.]Secretly? The significance of the newly added word made Jiho let out a slight sigh.
“Understood. If anything happens in the meantime, contact me immediately.”
[Okay. I’ll hang up now.]As the call disconnected with a click, Hojin approached with a worried look.
“What’s wrong?”
“A call to meet secretly. And that too, through the hospital phone.”
“Could we have been discovered?”
For a moment, Jiho vividly recalled incidents that occurred during the investigation of Chairman Kim Ki-tae of Myungjin Group.
They used to stick to tailing frequently and employ various methods of threats and persuasion. Rajin said that Kim Yu-joon had visited her home; could it be that they had put someone on her as well?
He could handle it himself as a prosecutor, but it was different for Rajin, a civilian.
As ominous thoughts endlessly spiraled, Jiho’s mind raced.
“We can’t let this go.”
“What are you planning?”
“First, I’ll clear up the flies.”
There had already been a plan in mind, which he would now have to accelerate due to the current situation. Jiho scrolled through his contacts and pressed the call button.
They cut straight to the point without even a ‘hello.’
“Is the setup from last time ready to start from today?”
He had previously arranged for various types of cars and reliable people in anticipation of being tailed. From his early days as a junior officer, Jiho was determined not to go through the same helpless situation again.
“Basement level 3, Zone D, I’ll clear it.”
At the prompt response of ‘hurry up,’ Jiho replied affirmatively.
Fully prepared.
In light of Rajin’s big decision, under no circumstances should her existence be exposed.
“I need something else. I’ll contact you again once the approval comes through.”
If there was certainly something moving under the surface, they would have to be extra careful from now on, both for himself and Rajin.
“Ah, Manager, what are you talking about? Saying I have honey skin.”
Ha-eun’s exaggerated voice sounded close, as if sending a signal.
Rajin quickly put down the phone from the consultation room. She then picked up the chamomile tea she had set aside and turned her gaze out the window.
“Actress, here is the scar bandage.”
After the dermatologist appointment, the manager, who had gone out to bring imported bandages, had returned, accompanied by Ha-eun.
“We just got a new machine in. The director wants to initiate it with you.”
Upon the manager’s offer, Rajin smiled brightly.
“I came because of my hand, but now my skin will improve.”
“Just spread the word a little, please.”
At the kind manager’s words, Rajin gestured to Ha-eun.
“Ha-eun, pay generously as always. Include today’s as well.”
“Oh my! Actress, today’s session is on the house.”
“Let’s increase the sales for the manager. And please take good care of our stylist today as well.”
The dermatology clinic, too expensive for just anyone to frequent, was a place where the staff had sharp ears and heavy lips. The manager knew everything from the entertainment industry to chaebol families. Rajin was investing in this relationship, anticipating a moment when she might need it in the future.
“I’m so grateful for your constant care.”
At the manager’s words, Rajin smiled brightly.
“Today, I’ll take extra care of your treatment. Ha-eun too.”
“Me too? Wow!”
As Ha-eun clapped her hands in excitement, the manager nodded in agreement.
“I’ll go and get ready. Take your time coming out.”
As soon as the manager left, Ha-eun quickly approached Rajin.
“What about the call?”
Rajin glanced towards the door and then nodded.
“Ha-eun, after the treatment, make an excuse about going to the department store to pick up a repair and leave.”
“And then?”
“Can you activate a secure phone and put it in the hospital’s safe?”
Rajin mentioned a four-digit password, and Ha-eun gave an okay sign.
“Keep checking the manager’s calls frequently.”
“Because of that call earlier?”
“Yeah. Something doesn’t seem right.”
Now that she had decided to share secrets with Prosecutor Kang Jiho, his safety was directly linked to her own wellbeing.
To continue their covert communication, they had to be extra cautious.
Setting down the warm cup in her palm, Rajin thought of Prosecutor Kang Jiho.
His touch while treating her wound had been so warm. Rajin gently cradled her injured hand.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
