“Is it common for people to try to kill each other for money? We shouldn’t overlook such things. Joo-hyuk senior may be swayed by his kindness, but…”
Line shrugged and turned her gaze away, but when her eyes met Song Kang’s, she didn’t frown. However, her eyes showed a significant amount of tension.
“That’s right. There’s no one else like Joo-hyuk senior.”
Haein’s words made Line somewhat uncomfortable. It seemed she had unintentionally stimulated Song Kang’s feelings that he didn’t want to reveal.
“He didn’t say anything during the last trial either. It seemed like he was pushed out, but…”
“Maybe even if I hadn’t become like this… this case would have already been closed with no charges, and the real culprit prosecuted. Joo-hyuk senior knows that Na Song Kang is not the real culprit.”
Line seemed to understand why Joo-hyuk had acted that way. While Haein nodded, she also wore an expression of confusion.
“But still, even if Joo-hyuk senior is not guilty, I’m curious why he’s sitting in the prosecutor’s seat.”
“To catch the real culprit, you’re trying to gather only the necessary information in this process, right? But it’s more than expected…”
Line intentionally extended the end of her sentence, avoiding mentioning Prosecutor Yoon Nansul’s name.
“It seems much more overwhelming than expected.”
Haein understood the atmosphere in the prosecutor’s seat from Line’s diagnosis.
However, Song Kang wasn’t pleased with their conversation. Why did everyone seem to understand Prosecutor Choi Joo-hyuk so well?
Song Kang knew there were many things he wanted to say. Just then, Haein’s phone vibrated.
“Please take it quickly.”
With Song Kang’s permission, Haein took her phone and went outside. When Haein left, there was a moment of silence between them.
Song Kang sipped the water in front of him, calming the jealousy boiling inside. Line pretended not to care, but she was inwardly bothered, especially when it came to Joo-hyuk.
“Actually, there’s more of Prosecutor Choi Joo-hyuk’s influence on this table than I expected. Is it like this?”
His dissatisfaction erupted in response to the vague words, ‘Is it like this?’ All his unspoken complaints were encapsulated in that phrase.
“I tried arresting him once, but I can’t stand being arrested, even if I die and wake up.”
Line responded as if she couldn’t accept his jealousy. She had declared that she didn’t see Joo-hyuk as a romantic interest, and she didn’t like him exhibiting jealousy unnecessarily.
Song Kang stared at Line with eyes full of things he wanted to say. She was elusive, as if he could catch her but not quite. As he was about to continue speaking, the door opened, and Haein came in.
“Oh, it’s a call from the law firm. I’m sorry.”
As Haein took her seat, Line scooped food onto Haein’s plate.
“Eat a lot.”
“Uh… Thank you.”
Line’s rebellious kindness was full of tension, and both men were not accustomed to it. Song Kang was extremely annoyed but tried not to show it.
Even though he knew his feelings were going to be overturned, he didn’t want to reveal his discomfort about her actions.
“Perhaps the results of Prosecutor Jin Line’s reinstatement lawsuit and my case may turn out similarly.”
Song Kang brought up another topic to get out of this mood. However, even though he threw the topic out, he wasn’t focused on the answers that would follow.
His jealousy was bubbling up like lava, ready to explode any moment.
“Maybe the results of your senior’s case will come out first. Although the investigation period and preparation process for Director’s case were much longer, it happened that way. Wouldn’t a reasonable result come out?”
Haein cautiously spoke.
“We’ve already presented all our arguments, and the decision date is set. Still, we can’t necessarily say that it’s advantageous for us. No matter what trial it is, you only know the result when you open the lid.”
Line finished speaking calmly, looking down at her phone. Song Kang was more focused on when she would pick up the fork than on the entire conversation.
Jealousy was just jealousy, and he hoped some food would enter her mouth.
Line reached for a water cup but dropped the fork. It was because she was focused only on her phone. Line and Haein both stooped to pick up their forks at the same time, bumping their foreheads.
“Oh, Senior, I’m sorry. Are you okay?”
Haein said that while gently stroking Line’s forehead with his hand. He looked at Line’s forehead with a worried expression.
Line, with a bewildered expression, met Haein’s eyes. She didn’t have the courage to turn her head in that direction because she could guess how Song Kang’s expression might be even without looking at him.
Song Kang’s calmness, watching the two of them, finally crumbled. He loosened his tie, which was usually neatly tied. It wasn’t a gesture he commonly took, as he usually aimed for courtesy and cleanliness.
“Lawyer Cha Haein, have you finished your meal?”
“Oh, yes, Director…”
As Song Kang’s voice and attitude became sharp, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
