Songgang took the lead calmly. Attorney Cha Haein followed him with a serious expression.
At the gate, people from the prosecutor’s office were gathered, and access for all employees was restricted. In the midst of it all, Juhyeok stood there.
Songgang walked steadily into the confrontation.
“We are urgently arresting the suspect Na Songgang for the charges of evidence destruction and obstruction of official duties.”
Juhyeok took out handcuffs. The sight of Director Na Songgang being dragged away with handcuffs on, still filled, was indescribably humiliating.
“Prosecutor, this urgent arrest is unacceptable.”
Haein stepped forward as the legal representative of Director Na Songgang, but Songgang stopped him.
“Prosecutor Choi Juhyeok, it seems urgent.”
Songgang asked calmly, not losing composure. The pointed question seemed to bother Juhyeok.
“Mr. Na Songgang, go and speak.”
Juhyeok showed the handcuffs again. Attorney Cha Haein tried to prevent the worst-case scenario, but Songgang extended his hand.
“Director…!”
“I am innocent, and the prosecutor knows better. After putting handcuffs on me, you’ll have to deal with the consequences.”
People watching this situation didn’t know how to react. It was a burden for Juhyeok, but he, adhering to Miranda’s principles with determination, put handcuffs on Director Na Songgang’s wrists.
As soon as the handcuffs were on, all Taesung employees turned away from Director Na Songgang.
Juhyeok knew that he was abusing his power as a prosecutor. Despite this, seeing the respectful attitude of Taesung employees towards him, he felt a deeper pain in his conscience.
It was inevitable to protect Line. It was an unprecedented and immoral urgent arrest, but Juhyeok reminded himself.
“Let’s go.”
When Juhyeok turned away, ignoring all this reality, the staff from the prosecutor’s office followed him.
The emotions of Songgang and Juhyeok sitting face to face in the recording room reached a climax. However, both of them, with their expertise, chose a battle of wits rather than a verbal battle.
Songgang confronted Prosecutor Choi Juhyeok, preventing Attorney Cha Haein from entering.
“Release him.”
Juhyeok told the prosecutor’s office staff to release Songgang’s handcuffs.
“I’ve heard stories about prosecutors being omnipotent, but Prosecutor Choi Juhyeok’s actions today are quite unexpected.”
Songgang made a comment that touched Juhyeok’s conscience.
“Why did you take an unconscious victim from the scene with injuries and flee yesterday?”
Juhyeok tried to remain calm.
“At that time, taking the victim to the hospital in a hurry was a logical action. Can you just stand by watching your loved one dying?”
Juhyeok glared at Songgang’s response.
“A loved one? Ha…”
The word ‘love’ shattered Juhyeok’s composure.
“Love, isn’t that something only possible for certain people? Mr. Na Songgang…”
In Juhyeok’s eyes, Na Songgang was merely a selfish person.
“Will you keep satisfying your own desires? If so, Line will die in your hands. Just like now.”
The muscles on Songgang’s face tensed. He believed he could protect her, even knowing that he was a fatal presence to her. But now, he felt sorrow, realizing he might no longer be able to hold her in his arms.
“Even after Line’s death, do you boast that you can take responsibility with your wealth and power? When Line wakes up and returns to the prosecutor’s office, everything will be back to normal. Mr. Na Songgang, you’ve already won in the first trial through Line, so please stop tormenting that child.”
If Prosecutor Choi Juhyeok had used his investigative power to threaten, perhaps Songgang would have resisted with all his might. However, if Line really lost her life…
Songgang couldn’t forgive himself for allowing it to happen.
Juhyeok took out an envelope containing evidence and handed it over. The evidence was Line’s shattered phone.
Seeing it, Songgang’s heart shattered into pieces. Juhyeok then showed a photo of another piece of evidence. It looked like a large barrel.
“What is this?”
Songgang, realizing immediately what it was, furrowed his brows deeply.
“That day, when Line…”
“Stop. That’s enough. I understand.”
Songgang silenced Prosecutor Choi Juhyeok, who was about to reveal more.
“That day, would you like to see the CCTV evidence?”
“No, thank you. I don’t want to see it.”
He couldn’t face the evidence that intended to harm her.
“Line has been transferred to another hospital, and from now on, I will gradually erase each memory of Director Na Songgang. I will change her phone number. Please don’t contact her again. I will move my residence. Please don’t look for us again.”
Juhyeok thoroughly investigated him during the allotted time and released him with ‘no charges.’
When he went back to the hospital, she had completely disappeared. Songgang sat on the bed where Line had lain, holding back tears. He called the medical staff to ask about her final condition.
Until he left the hospital, she never regained consciousness.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
