Standing in front of the courthouse, Ju-hyuk glanced at his watch and tapped his foot nervously. Clutching La-in’s judicial robe in his hand, he tried to calm his anxious mind.
Even the prosecutor’s office staff was worried about what might have happened to La-in.
“Prosecutor Jin has never had such an incident before the trial. What’s going on?”
“Well… haven’t you received any calls yet? There was nothing at the prosecutor’s office either.”
Someone was walking from afar at that moment, and Ju-hyuk looked in that direction. It wasn’t the person he had been waiting for.
“Senior, I’ll go in.”
From wherever she appeared… it was Yoon Nan-seul.
Ju-hyuk couldn’t help but find all of this suspicious.
“Jin La-in, you’ve taken it from me, right? Anyway… causing trouble.”
Yoon Nan-seul bowed her head slightly and clicked her tongue.
“You knew that Prosecutor Jin might not be able to come today, right?”
In response to Ju-hyuk’s pointed question, Nan-seul asked the prosecution office staff to show the record card summarizing the key details of this case.
“Don’t touch it. Don’t interfere. This case.”
“Senior, I got permission from Chief Prosecutor to come. The approval has already been granted.”
“Who gave permission? Who gave permission to you to intercept this case?”
As Ju-hyuk burst out angrily, both Nan-seul and the prosecution office staff showed displeasure. Ju-hyuk’s anger wasn’t just about meddling in the case; it was also evidence that Prosecutor Jin La-in was in trouble.
Ju-hyuk, trembling with anger, approached Nan-seul.
“If you’re playing around again, if something happened to Prosecutor Jin…! You, Chief Prosecutor, and whoever is behind this, won’t get away with it. For whatever reason, you can’t enter this trial.”
In the face of Ju-hyuk’s threat, Nan-seul was frightened, but since the plan had already been made, she couldn’t easily back down.
“I’m a prosecutor too. Why can’t I enter…!”
“Oh! Prosecutor Jin La-in is here!”
A prosecution office staff member shouted upon seeing La-in. Ju-hyuk turned his gaze in that direction. Those who saw La-in’s appearance could not help but be surprised. Nan-seul, looking at La-in, was stunned and shook her head incredulously.
“Ha…! Ha…! Am I not late?”
La-in, breathing heavily, spoke.
“Prosecutor Jin! What’s going on!”
Ju-hyuk approached her, grabbing her shoulders, which were shaking. La-in tightly held the evidence against her chest.
“Senior, I read it in the taxi. Senior, please read it quickly.”
While saying so, La-in did not let go of the blood-stained evidence in her arms.
“La-in… Are you okay?”
“Yes…”
La-in swallowed the sorrow that tried to overflow through her throat.
“Let go… I have to take it. You need to wear your robe too…”
Only then did La-in relax her body. Ju-hyuk took the evidence from her, and La-in accepted the judicial robe in Ju-hyuk’s hands.
“Prosecutor Jin… What’s the matter with your hands? What about your clothes?”
Ju-hyuk looked at Line’s hands, which were all messed up, and her clothes in disarray, then checked his watch. There was no more time to talk outside.
After handing the evidence he was holding to the prosecution office staff, Ju-hyuk helped Line put on her judicial robe.
“It’s getting late. Let’s go inside quickly.”
“Senior, wait a moment.”
Line stood right in front of Ju-hyuk and asked him to check her appearance.
“Senior, are you maintaining the dignity of the judicial robe well? I…”
One of the things she considered as important as her life was the authority as a legal professional. Ju-hyuk touched Line’s judicial robe once more and nodded.
Line closed her eyes tightly. To suppress her heart, which seemed to burst with excitement, she took a deep breath. Line opened her eyes and stiffened her face with a cold expression.
“Let’s go inside.”
Line and Ju-hyuk confidently entered the courtroom. The courtroom was already crowded with defendants and defense attorneys.
Na Hoewon, Geum Moran, and Na Song-rim, sitting in the defendant’s seat, avoided each other’s gaze. The atmosphere between the defense attorneys was also uncomfortable and unmatched.
When Geum Moran made eye contact with Line, she showed a relaxed smile. Line wanted to stare at Geum Moran piercingly, but she didn’t want to engage in unnecessary mind games. She solely wanted to focus on this trial.
However, at that moment, Geum Moran stood up from her seat and headed towards the prosecutor’s podium. Ju-hyuk looked at Geum Moran with an expression.
“Prosecutor Jin La-in, long time no see.”
Line looked at Geum Moran without knowing what expression she was making.
“I thought you’d cut off your hands and feet and expected to survive with your own hands and feet, right?”
Geum Moran proudly proved that today’s events were something she orchestrated.
“I thought you’d give up, but you came anyway?”
Line glared at Geum Moran with a sharpened knife in her mind.
“Defendant, go back to your seat. What are you doing here? Can the defendant come up to the prosecutor’s podium?”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
