“No, not at all. If you’re having a hard time, I’ll come back later.”
“No, it’s okay. Please sit.”
Songkang and Haein sat facing each other, contemplating how to respond to Chairman Na’s summoning investigation.
“Do you know why the prosecution summoned Chairman first with some intention?”
Haein pondered carefully.
“If they summon Chairman Taesung, those below will naturally follow suit.”
“Could it be… considering Director Geum Moran…”
Songkang nodded. Haein reduced her words, watching Songkang’s reactions.
“Well, unless Attorney Cha Haein is a fool, you probably know who the real culprit in this case is. Since the prosecution has also identified Director Geum Moran and Directors Na Songrim and Na Songwoon, they will try to reveal the truth somehow.”
“That’s right. If the prosecution loses in this trial against Taesung, the two prosecutors won’t escape unscathed either.”
“That’s a given. If they filed charges against Taesung, they should be prepared to fight to the death.”
Although Songkang advised Chairman Na to respond to the prosecution’s summons, he was not completely at ease.
His elderly age also worried me, wondering if he might be shocked during the investigation process and develop health problems.
However, it was inevitable to confront this issue to set Taesung straight.
“Until the chairman makes a decision, it seems there’s nothing we can do.”
Haein nodded in agreement.
Songkang couldn’t easily get up from his seat even after the sun had set. It was well past midnight when he finally left the company. He heard that Rain was still working and picked her up on his way home.
As Rain got into Songkang’s car, she leaned against the backrest and slumped her body. She looked even more tired than usual.
Considering the high barriers involved in planning and implementing the summoning investigation against Chairman Taesung, Songkang could fully understand her condition.
“Director, the signal.”
“Ah…”
Rain felt that Songkang couldn’t concentrate, probably due to Chairman Na’s summoning. He seemed distracted amidst the pouring investigative records, and she couldn’t take care of his mind.
But whether it was appropriate to apologize to him was a dilemma. Work should remain work…
Arriving at his house, Rain quickly washed her hands and came out when he suggested having dinner. Rain was surprised when she saw his face.
“Director! Your lips!”
It was quite surprising that she, who was sharp in everything, only now noticed the injury. Songkang turned his head indifferently.
“It’s nothing. I just bumped into something.”
“Ah, let me see.”
Ignoring him as if it was nothing, Rain headed to the kitchen. She went in front of him, lifted her heels, examined his face, and quickly grasped what had happened.
“Chairman Na did this, didn’t he?”
Songkang felt dizzy at Rain’s words. To think that Chairman Na did this to an adult who might soon become his son… But it seemed pointless to argue about it.
“If it wasn’t Chairman Na, which lunatic would treat you like this…!”
Songkang frowned at Rain’s harsh words, and she lowered her voice. Then, she burst into tears.
“Did you apply any ointment? It doesn’t seem like you did…”
It was quite amazing to hear such words from Rain, who always had a sharp tongue. Was it just teasing and exploding as usual? Songkang stared at her with a face that had a lot to say.
“I should get hurt like this from time to time. That way, you might understand my feelings a bit.”
“What are you saying?”
“Why are you reacting so strangely as if it’s a revelation? Is there a law that says I can’t get injured inside? I, too, could be involved in an unexpected accident.”
Rain looked at him with a fearful expression, as if the sky had collapsed.
“What are you saying?”
Asking the same question twice meant that Rain didn’t misunderstand his words but was expressing dissatisfaction with Songkang.
He pressed her, tightening his expression without a response. Rain, too, didn’t avoid his gaze and tensed her body.
“How can you say such things…?”
Unable to continue her words, Rain quickly blinked her eyes. Songkang couldn’t understand why she was pleading so sensitively.
“I’ll leave. Have dinner alone.”
Rain grabbed her coat. Songkang was bewildered.
“What are you doing now? Are you planning to go somewhere alone at this hour?”
Even with Songkang’s question, Rain walked to the entrance without answering. He grabbed her wrist.
“If you’re going home, I’ll give you a ride.”
“No. I’m not going home. Let go of me; I’m going alone.”
“Again! Again! Again!”
Songkang shouted loudly, exerting force on the hand holding her. He was also sensitive today.
“I told you that I don’t like Prosecutor Jin Rain getting hurt all the time, but those words…!”
He thought reviewing what he said, the phrase ‘unexpected accident’ might have sounded quite provocative to her. Given that he was a person with a significant trauma regarding his parents’ accident…
“Let go of this!”
When Rain tried to shake off Songkang’s hand, he, who was in a daze, failed to control the force and grabbed her too tightly.
From her lips, which did not show any signs of pain, an ‘ah!’ sound came out… He quickly loosened his grip. Rain stared at him again with eyes that seemed about to cry.
He couldn’t immediately figure out how to comfort her now that her sensitive feelings were so pointedly revealed.
“I’m sorry.”
Nevertheless, since he was indeed at fault, he quickly apologized.
“I spoke too lightly.”
“Do you know why it’s not easy to love someone?”
Tears filled Rain’s eyes.
“Someday, I might leave because of an unexpected accident… Ha…”
With Rain’s breath, tears rolled down her eyes. It was once again for that reason.
“I’m leaving. I’ll go to work.”
It meant going to the prosecutor’s office instead of home. Work had never betrayed Rain’s efforts even once. He consistently waited for her.
She tried to turn around and leave, but Songkang’s hand on her wrist remained. Suppressing the urge to tighten his grip again, Songkang bit his lower lip.
