Line washed her face to clear her mind and looked in the mirror. Ever since she was dismissed from her position as a prosecutor, she hadn’t stepped outside her house. She felt such a profound resentment towards society that she wanted to turn her back on everything.
Suddenly, she remembered the time when she first started studying diligently, biting down hard on her determination. It was largely influenced by her parents, who had passed away shortly after her birth. Raised by her maternal grandparents, she tried hard not to give anyone a reason to pity her for growing up without parents.
Although her family wasn’t wealthy, they weren’t lacking either, and they lived a decent life. Unless she brought it up, her different family environment wasn’t noticeable.
What sharpened the knife in the heart of such a kind-hearted child was her first-year high school homeroom teacher.
“Our class president’s mother actively takes care of various things needed in class. What do you think about that?” the teacher had asked.
For young Line, it was a shock too great to describe. She had to reluctantly give up her position as class president, chosen by her peers, because of that.
She never explained why she stepped down and began to fight with herself not to become a victim in this society.
She thought winning this fight meant getting good grades, topping her class in college, and becoming a prosecutor, a job many people envied.
It was a naive utopia. The higher she climbed, the more rigid the criteria for dividing people became.
The harder she worked, the more she wanted to be recognized for her investigative skills. But the outcome was disastrous.
Line clutched her chest, feeling a dull ache as overwhelming anger surged. She barely managed to hold back her tears.
A life not as a prosecutor – she had never thought about it and couldn’t even feel it as a reality now.
Her self-esteem plummeted faster than falling off a cliff, and she squeezed out the last bit of her stubbornness, trying to hold on.
Doing nothing after living every day so fiercely felt as if she was floating, untethered, and her heart felt hollow.
Why was Taesung pestering her like this? If she had had such connections during her prosecutor days, she would never have engaged with them.
The reason they were still looking for her, even after her dismissal, was puzzling.
Knowing their persistence in getting what they wanted, she agreed to meet and talk just once.
She genuinely wanted to ask if Song Kang’s warning about becoming dangerous was referring to this outcome.
How had she come to the point of asking Song Kang the real reason for her dismissal? She sighed deeply and quickly prepared to leave.
She tried to be punctual but ended up being 10 minutes late. Arriving at the café, an employee guided her to a private room.
The room’s door opened. Song Kang, who had been looking at Seoul’s nightscape through the glass window, turned to face Line. The door closed behind her.
An awkward air hung between them. Seeing her frail appearance, Song Kang almost lost his composure but managed to maintain it.
“Please, have a seat.”
Song Kang took his hands out of his pockets and gestured towards the seat. Line sat down without a word, and Song Kang followed suit.
A familiar scent, like a painting of flowers, wafted over. He recognized it as Line’s signature fragrance and allowed his gaze to linger on her.
Her face had grown thinner, but the sparkle in her eyes remained, providing some comfort.
“I wanted to ask how you’re doing, seeing your face has changed a lot,” he wanted to say, but refrained, knowing that even such a question might hurt her pride.
In front of the two, a teapot and teacups of hot tea were set. After the server calmly poured the tea and left the teapot near the cups, steam rose from the hot beverage, and a rich aroma filled the air. The tension could have eased, but instead, a palpable tension hung between them.
“Why did you want to see me?” Line asked directly, not beating around the bush. Song Kang was no longer surprised or disconcerted by her directness.
“Why did you agree to meet today?” He counter-questioned, making her the one taken aback. He had no intention of losing in what wasn’t her home turf game today.
“Didn’t you and your lawyer pester me enough?” he pointed out.
“People like you, Prosecutor Jin Line, don’t usually move just because they’re pestered,” Song Kang observed.
Line found herself at a loss for words, as his observation was not wrong.
“You must have felt a need too, which is why you agreed to this meeting.”
Line thought he might see right through her, and she didn’t want to act like someone with ulterior motives.
“Do you understand the situation I’m in right now? The danger you mentioned, did you know it would lead to this?”
“I can’t say I had no idea, but I didn’t expect you would lose your position as a prosecutor entirely.”
As she frowned deeply, a wrinkle formed on her forehead.
“Anyway, I fully acknowledge the responsibility.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
