Without clenching her fist, Seoyeon narrowed the distance so that Bora couldn’t escape.
With her head bowed, Bora, looking at Seoyeon’s high-heeled shoes, entered the prosecutor’s office in a moment.
‘What does Han Seoyeon know? Why did she come to the prosecutor’s office?’
As the atmosphere at Seoyeon’s arrival at the prosecutor’s office became even colder than before, Bora kept glancing around.
It was a situation where she couldn’t escape by making excuses, and she couldn’t confess and apologize either.
While Bora was mentally shouting about what to do, Seoyeon, following the guide of an official, headed towards the sofa in the prosecutor’s office.
“Come and sit here.”
Bora, after shuffling through a pile of documents and a tidy office several times, sat next to Seoyeon. At that moment, the door opened abruptly.
“Sorry for being late due to the long morning briefing. I’m Prosecutor Yeo Hojin.”
Although he was clearly smiling, Bora’s shoulders tensed under Hojin’s sharp gaze.
Then, Hojin casually extended his business card to the two.
Bora’s hand, which had fidgeted with her nails as if she didn’t notice, picked up the small end of the business card.
Following the pre-arranged plan, Seoyeon spoke first.
“Through my lawyer, you received the CCTV footage from the department store, but…”
At the mention of CCTV, Bora dropped Hojin’s business card. Seoyeon didn’t miss the moment and subtly signaled. Hojin took out his laptop.
“Yes. I also contacted the lawyer representing DN Home Shopping.”
While keeping his gaze fixed on Bora, Hojin asked Seoyeon several questions and typed responses.
“Not only did you illegally film, but also distributed it. Moreover, I am neither a celebrity nor an ordinary person.”
“Please continue.”
“If it’s not for malicious purposes, one can’t be so ruthless.”
Seoyeon, adding that she suffered such a psychological shock that she couldn’t live a normal life, stared openly at Bora.
“Do you suspect anyone?”
“Well, it’s a bit confusing. I have no relationship with him, CEO Choi Minhyuk. I don’t know why such an article was published. I have no idea.”
She sighed, lamenting that scandals, regardless of truth, had a negative impact on women.
Before Seoyeon finished speaking, Hojin’s gaze penetrated Bora’s face. Faced with the intense stare, Bora couldn’t even breathe.
“While the detailed investigation will be carried out by the police, it won’t take long.”
“How can I find out how it will proceed?”
Looking like she was about to burst into tears, Seoyeon asked in a serious tone, gazing at Bora’s face as if it were about to cry.
What on earth was unrequited love, doing something so reckless?
While the legal consequences for Bora would need to be thoroughly examined, if clear evidence was presented, it seemed easy to pass social judgment regardless of the truth.
“You may have seen it frequently in the news. Articles about celebrities catching online trolls.”
“Ah. Yes.”
“It’s even easier than that.”
Hojin explained the investigation process in detail as if pouring out trade secrets.
“In the yard where the CCTV footage has been secured, confirming identities is not a difficult task. Moreover, if we seize the phone used for illegal filming and entrust it to digital forensics…”
With a mischievous smile, Hojin slightly lowered his head, looking at Bora, and said, “You can consider it as being thoroughly exposed. Since there’s more information stored on phones than you might think.”
“Such as checking with the telecommunications company or bank accounts?”
“If necessary, we can execute it with a warrant. Checking the CCTV in that area by verifying the IP address posted on the site won’t take more than a week.”
Upon Hojin’s mention of a week, Bora contemplated whether she should call her parents right away.
Then, Hojin, skilled in handling cases, delved into the situation without missing a beat.
“In fact, perpetrators of such incidents mostly provide similar excuses. Like ‘I lost my phone’…”
Although he raised the corner of his mouth, Hojin, who had an air of dignity, continued, “Or they might say, ‘My ID was hacked.'”
Bora thought she could easily get away with claiming that she lost her phone. Moreover, she believed her actions were inappropriate, but not criminal.
However, as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, tears started welling up in Bora’s eyes.
“But there’s nothing to worry about. Isn’t Korea an IT powerhouse for a reason? There are various ways.”
“Can the perpetrator be identified?”
“Of course. Whether they genuinely lost their phone, or if someone picked it up…”
Hojin’s voice softened considerably.
“We can find out which signal from nearby base stations was received if we investigate.”
Hojin added an explanation that, when properly requested by law enforcement, they could obtain more information than expected.
“Moreover, considering that DN Home Shopping is implicated in this case, if they file a lawsuit for defamation…”
“What are the chances of winning?”
“Chances? Well… no matter who the opponent is, they should be prepared properly. They’ll regret it for a long time.”
As Bora’s face became contemplative, Hojin spoke with a smirk.
“But who is this person? Since earlier, the expression…”
“Ah. This person is very important in this case. I brought them along for reference.”
Seoyeon nonchalantly spoke without changing her expression, and the tears in Bora’s eyes fell heavily, unable to withstand the weight.
Whether Bora cried or not, the two continued their conversation.
“If things are resolved more easily than expected, what kind of punishment would you like?”
“An official apology and a correction article on the front page of the newspaper that published the article.”
While speaking to Hojin, Seoyeon’s gaze was directed at Bora.
“And also…”
“Feel free to speak.”
Prompted by Hojin, Seoyeon sighed deeply and mumbled.
“Actually, I’m not sure if this suggestion would be appropriate, but… my boyfriend’s family is a bit difficult to handle.”
“Did you have a separate boyfriend?”
“Yes. But things have become even more complicated because of this incident.”
At that moment, Seoyeon leaned towards Bora.
“Especially my grandfather is quite stubborn. It seems like the person who caused the problem should explain directly what happened…”
Seoyeon, who had paused for a moment, clenched her fist.
“Material compensation is secondary; we are determined to receive these two things.”
Seoyeon looked at Bora with a sarcastic smile.
“Can you do it?”
“…”
“You must do it… Jin Bora.”
