“Song Kang, bring Prosecutor here safely. I need to go to the company.”
Chairman Na left with Hae-in’s support.
Feeling embarrassed, Line stared at Song Kang with determination.
“Director! Are you really going to do this?”
“I really am. I’ll continue to do this in the future.”
Song Kang quickly grabbed Line’s hand, who was mumbling. Line, with an embarrassed expression, followed him.
“I hope Prosecutor Jin Line becomes a real part of our family.”
It was something Song Kang had said to Line before. However, today, for some reason, those words settled warmly in Line’s heart.
“Ugh… Why is it so hot?”
Line fanned herself. Song Kang stopped and looked at Line. A gentle breeze blew over the heads of the two.
“Don’t make me wait too long. I can’t wait for a long time. I won’t wait.”
With a tender look, Song Kang looked down at Line. Understanding the meaning behind his words, Line blinked her eyes quickly, thinking about how to navigate this situation.
While Line didn’t dislike marrying Song Kang, she didn’t feel confident about handling his background. Above all, she felt she might be a flaw in his life.
“Director, even if I get married, I’ll continue to take the subway. I’ll keep working. I don’t plan on having children. If Taesung’s legacy is cut off because of me… what would you do?”
“That’s a problem we can solve gradually, isn’t it?”
Song Kang wasn’t one to just watch Line trying to leave. Line, pondering what excuse she could come up with, mumbled to herself. Eventually, unable to find any more excuses, she lowered her head in frustration.
“I don’t have a prestigious family… If a regular prosecutor like me marries you, the world will laugh.”
Upon her honest words, a smile disappeared from Song Kang’s face.
“What did you just say?”
Line raised her head to look at him. Seeing his angry expression, she found it hard to speak freely.
Nevertheless, Line knew too well that she couldn’t deny the unchangeable reality or deceive the world.
“If Director marries me… Will only the securities industry show interest? The whole world will be interested. It will be the marriage of the century… But the bride is too plain.”
Once again, Line bowed her head. Her usual confident demeanor was nowhere to be found.
“Were you someone who cared about such things?”
“Should I live closing my eyes and ears? Director, will I be your label?”
Feeling hurt, Song Kang averted his gaze from her and stared into space. Line, unable to face him any longer, turned away.
Disliking showing vulnerability, she… Despite revealing her true feelings, she wanted to hide somewhere.
Song Kang grabbed her arm and stood her up.
“Director, I alone…”
“If you stubbornly insist on going alone, then go ahead.”
He blocked all the escape routes for Line.
“I must be a person lacking a lot. To Prosecutor Jin Line…”
In his painful and weary voice, Line raised her head.
“All my shortcomings were filled by Prosecutor Jin Line, but can I not fill the shortcomings of Prosecutor Jin Line?”
Line teared up. She felt grateful to him for protecting her dignity until the end. Tears were welling up, making it difficult for her to open her mouth.
“The words you said earlier, I hadn’t thought about it because it hadn’t occurred to me, but let’s not think about it again.”
Line, breathing unevenly, just stared at him.
“No response? Are you going to make me say those words again?”
Song Kang spoke with force in his voice. It wasn’t his intention to force an answer. He just wanted a clear response.
Line, thinking that if she answered, tears would come before her voice, tried to hug him and bury her face in his chest.
But Song Kang didn’t accept it and took a step back. Line bowed her head deeply and couldn’t meet his eyes.
“If you can live without me, if you don’t want to see me again, we can talk about it then. Let’s not bring up those words again if you won’t answer.”
“Yes…”
After hearing Song Kang’s response, he took a step forward and embraced her. Line also hugged his waist, bringing her ear to his chest.
