Continuing from that suspicion, she couldn’t believe what he had just said. Despite knowing he was FM and that the only thing that changed was her position, finding reason and composure was difficult.
Line blankly stared at his retreating figure.
“Senior, congratulations. You won.”
Hae-in came and stood beside the stunned Line. Line shook her head, coming to her senses.
“Oh, let’s get out for now.”
Line left the courtroom, and today, she willingly got into Hae-in’s car. Hae-in observed Line’s reaction. She didn’t seem entirely happy.
“Senior, aren’t you happy?”
“I am.”
The harmony between her chosen words and tone was completely off.
“Should I report to Director?”
“Ah…”
Line hesitated. Would he really be happy? She wasn’t sure.
“I’ll talk. Attorney Cha Hae-in, you did a great job.”
“Although you’ve done most of it, it feels good to hear you say that.”
Hae-in said with her distinctive eye smile.
“Senior, if you really think I did well, can you do me a favor?”
Line looked at Hae-in. It was the first time she heard a request from her.
“Can you speak more comfortably? I hope you treat me as casually as Senior Juhyuk did.”
“If I treat people casually, I don’t know how uncomfortable it can get.”
“Ah, could it be more uncomfortable than now? Well… still, I’d appreciate it if you spoke freely.”
Attorney Cha Hae-in, with a gentle eye smile, seemed to have a knack for putting people at ease? Line nodded her head coolly.
“Sure, if that’s what you want, I’ll speak freely.”
Hae-in felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. The sense of accomplishment of gaining something as significant as today’s victory was enormous.
“Let’s forget about Senior Juhyuk and meet up sometime with the three of us.”
“Yeah… Well… I haven’t seen Senior Juhyuk’s face in a while.”
Line knew well how much Juhyuk had sacrificed and fought for her reinstatement. It must have been a truly difficult task as someone within the prosecution organization.
“I heard that Senior Prosecutor Bujang is determined to get Senior Juhyuk killed.”
“That’s possible…”
“Still, the central prosecutor we saw in court seemed like such a decent person. I guess he won’t act recklessly like Prosecutor Bujang.”
As expressed by Hae-in, the central prosecutor was indeed a ‘decent person.’
“After this trial, will you make a positive decision?”
However, preventing Line’s reinstatement lawsuit was a difficult task.
Not appealing meant having to press or flatter not only the fierce Prosecutor Bujang but also the prosecutors who followed him. Even without seeing the unfolding challenges, it was clear that some obstacles lay ahead.
“Well, if you go, you’ll find out.”
Line didn’t want to think about what would happen in the prosecution after her victory. In the midst of various challenges, the important decision about her reinstatement would be something no one would know.
After the victory, the key was what decision the prosecution would make, but for Line, organizing the situation with Song Kang was also important.
“Director Song Kang said he wouldn’t interfere with this matter. There’s no obligation to report. I’ll handle it. It would be better if you didn’t say anything.”
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
Hae-in, unaware of her turbulent thoughts, answered with her unique eye smile.
Line didn’t go to the office but headed home. She needed time to focus on herself, especially today. And the power of alcohol was needed.
With cans of beer piled up on the table, Line sat on the sofa and started drinking. She hoped to forget some of the distractions, but with each sip, countless thoughts crossed her mind.
Is it really turning back…
No matter how determined the central prosecutor was, how could she deal with Prosecutor Bujang’s group…
As if shaking off the confusion, Line’s phone vibrated. It was a call from Song Kang.
It was so noisy inside her mind that she almost didn’t want to answer the phone. However, thinking about what aftermath might occur if she ignored it, she decided it was better to answer.
Where are you?
“At home.”
I’m coming right now.
Even after hearing that he was coming, Line didn’t feel any strength in her heart. If anything, seeing him would only make her mind more chaotic.
“No. I want to be alone today. Don’t come.”
To clear the noisy thoughts, she headed to the convenience store in front of her house, thinking that she might need to drink more. However, she felt like someone was following her from behind.
She had drunk a lot, but she wasn’t drunk. Although it might be her own thoughts, she was certain that someone was watching her.
Suddenly, she remembered the emergency call feature that Song Kang had set up on her phone. The problem was that she didn’t bring her phone with her.
“Ugh…”
It was a situation where a sigh came out involuntarily. Line entered the convenience store, and even though she was filling her basket with beer, her attention was focused outside the store.
“Would you like to pay, customer?”
Line stood still, not even hearing the cashier’s question.
“Customer?”
“Oh, yes… yes, please ring it up.”
Awakened after several calls, Line was so uneasy that she wanted to ask the cashier for help.
Perhaps due to the recent unsettling events, she realized that she had become much weaker. She shook her head, regaining her composure.
“Do you want a bag?”
“Oh, wait a moment.”
Behind the cashier, a display of soju bottles caught Line’s eye. For once, it seemed suitable to wield in case of danger. It wasn’t an obvious weapon, and it didn’t look like a specialized tool for assault.
“Give me that too.”
With a bag containing a bottle of soju in her right hand and another bag full of beer in the other, Line headed home again.
However, what she thought was just her mood seemed to be approaching reality. The footsteps following Line became clearer.
Line increased her walking speed, and as her pace quickened, the footsteps behind her also quickened.
Then, a man’s voice was heard, and a large shadow was cast over Line’s shadow.
“Ack!”
Startled, Line shouted and swung the bag containing the bottle. With a dull sound, everything was blanked out.
