“Kang Jiho, the prosecutor, he was always like this.

At first glance, he seemed like an indifferent person, but in fact, he was very meticulous and considerate. He responded to meaningless words one by one and made an effort to listen, and Lajin was grateful for his heart.

What he gives is a tailored interest different from fan sentiment. Lajin’s heart trembled at Kang Jiho’s unique warmth.

“Thank you. For saying that.”

“You’re welcome. If you haven’t tried it, you can try it. It’s not difficult.”

Lajin’s clear words were good, but a mischievous playfulness subtly activated.

“I haven’t even tried blind dates or meetings.”

“…….”

“Is that possible too?”

“Do you want to try?”

Lajin nodded as she tightly pressed her lips.

“If you want to, you should. How about a blind date with a law school senior?”

Responding lightly to Lajin’s playful joke, Jiho fell into a silly banter with her.

“Let me see your face.”

“It’s fortunate that you only see my face. My personality is a bit lacking.”

Lajin burst into laughter like water spouting.

“A law school senior who only has a face. What are we going to do today?”

“It’s your resignation celebration. I’ll throw you a farewell party.”

“A farewell party?”

He, who had told her to quit her job, seemed sincere about her resignation. Lajin, who hadn’t turned off the joking mode yet, wrinkled her nose slightly.

“According to the script. Many people say these things when resigning.”

“What did they say?”

“‘You’ve been dirty all this time! Don’t pretend to know me even on the street!'”

Pointing to her eyes with two fingers, Lajin grimaced frighteningly, and Jiho chuckled softly.

“If you say those things with a rabbit-like face, it’s not scary at all.”

“No, I do. I’m so good at acting disgusting. I even got an award for playing the role of a revenge-seeking boyfriend.”

When she coolly delivered the line, “I hope you die!” Jiho burst into hearty laughter.

“I’ll definitely watch that drama later, but if you betrayed Lajin, it’s worth dying.”

Maybe because he said it so nicely, Lajin’s face blushed at the sweet words of the cold man.

“Why is Jiho like this…?”

?”

“Why do you speak so nicely, Jiho.”

Speaking in a tone that seemed to be heard or not, he coughed while stroking her neck.

A moment of silence, Lajin turned her gaze out of the car window. Like stars shining in the dark, the headlights of other cars sparkled in the distance.

“Hojin would be shocked if he heard, but if Lajin is beautiful, I guess so.”

“Yes. You know that I’m beautiful.”

As the frivolous conversation and light jokes started again, the atmosphere inside the car became lively. In the closed car where no music played, the two freely expressed themselves.

Especially when Lajin found out that he raised a cat in his childhood, she kicked her feet with excitement.

“What was the cat’s name?”

“It was Nabi. It’s a common name.”

“Where is there a common name in the world? All names have meaning.”
“Wasn’t it said that there are no evil people among those who love animals? Lajin continuously expressed admiration for the combination of Prosecutor Kang Jiho and the cat.

“It seems like the mother cat abandoned it. A kitten that couldn’t even open its eyes was crying in the garden.”

“Oh my……”

“On that day, I carried the kitten wrapped in a towel and ran to the animal hospital.”

That big man ran to save a kitten. A smile naturally spread across Lajin’s face.

“Fortunately, there was nothing wrong. It didn’t drink milk.”

He said he spent a week with sleepless nights, afraid the cat might die. Perhaps because of that memory, Kang Jiho prosecutor’s eyes reflected in the blue dashboard lights seemed somehow moist.

“It was pitiful to see it suffer without sleeping, but later, it began to frolic and drink milk.”

“Ah, so that’s why it became the name Nabi.”

Jiho, who met her gaze with a slight smile, nodded. Lajin didn’t ask when or why the cat died. It seemed too painful a memory for him.

“Thank you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“For sharing precious memories with me.”

Adding that unnecessary thoughts disappeared, Lajin laughed gracefully.

“Then, I should thank you too.”

“Me?”

“Because you publicly revealed my grades in my mother’s diary.”

“Saw it, right? I was always at the top.”

What would it reveal to expose the test scores she took after transferring? On sleepless nights, she had kicked off her blanket for no reason.

“I saw it. But was the private tutor really handsome?”

What on earth was she saying? Lajin’s eyes widened roundly.

“The private tutor?”

“Your mother wrote that. Lajin changed clothes twelve times before starting private tutoring.”

Engrossed in proving the changed grades, she didn’t carefully read her mother’s comments. What on earth did her mother write about the private tutor she couldn’t remember? While Lajin was distracted, she unintentionally exposed another flaw to him.

“Between me and that private tutor, who is better?”

“Are you asking me this straightforwardly?”

“Can’t I?”

Lajin smirked slightly, raising her eyes just a little.
