‘Change the password. Just 0000, that’s much easier,’ Line replied sternly.
‘Do you want everyone to come in? If that’s the case, we might as well leave the door open,’ Song Kang countered.
‘Then, I’ll change it to the last four digits of Mr. Na Song Kang’s phone number.’
‘If that’s more convenient, go ahead.’
Only then did Line straighten her posture. The sight before her softened her sharpened mood. The modern interior reflected Song Kang’s taste.
Especially striking was the large glass window, offering a clear view of the Seoul cityscape. Line’s heart, usually unaffected by surroundings, fluttered a bit.
‘Let me know if there’s anything uncomfortable while using the office.’
Uncomfortable aspects were immediately noticeable. Line approached a wide shelf holding evidence files.
Some documents might have been familiar from her time at the prosecutor’s office, and some might have been updated, but to understand Taeseong’s current stance, she needed to examine everything. Remembering her time at the prosecutor’s office analyzing over 100,000 pages of evidence, she felt slightly dizzy.
Song Kang, observing Line’s apparent discomfort, shifted his gaze to her slender, pale hand. Flipping through all these documents might leave her thumb raw. Line clenched her fist with determination and then moved.
‘I’ll start now.'”
Line thought that instead of hesitating, she should be reading more documents. She picked up as many files as she could carry and moved them to her desk.
Sitting down to start her work in earnest, she noticed the colorful thimbles on the desk. Surprised by his thoughtfulness, she hesitated for a moment, only moving her eyes.
Worried about showing her hesitation, she picked up a neutral-colored thimble and slipped it onto her thumb.
Song Kang took off his jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and moved some more documents to the empty space on Line’s desk.
Though this was typically a task for the secretaries, this was a confidential space with limited access, so it couldn’t be helped.
Focused on her work, Line began flipping through the documents, unconcerned with what Song Kang was doing next to her.
Song Kang, not wanting to disrupt her concentration, held his breath for a moment, then perched on a shelf, crossing his arms, and watched her.
He nearly let out an exclamation of admiration at the force emanating from her slender frame. Distracted, he caught himself and regained focus.
“Prosecutor Jin Line,” he broke the silence.
Line didn’t respond, completely engrossed in her work. Song Kang approached her desk and tapped it. Only then did Line look up.
“Cha Haein Attorney will contact you for the rest of the handover. Make sure to answer.”
Line just looked at him, not responding.
“Please answer.”
“Yes.”
Finally, Line replied, albeit reluctantly, making Song Kang almost bow in frustration.
“I don’t plan to adapt to Prosecutor Jin Line. Responding is basic etiquette in this society. I don’t think it’s an excessive request, so I hope you’ll comply.”
His words weren’t wrong, but it wasn’t a pleasant suggestion either.
“Yes.”
Line responded briefly and turned her gaze back to the documents.
Song Kang jerked his forehead in surprise, then left the office, planning to wait and see. Surely, soon enough, there would be something he’d want to start a conversation about.
As soon as he left, Line took a deep breath. It seemed she had to adapt not only to the unfamiliar desk and chair but also to the reality of being subordinate to Director Na Song Kang. It was urgent for her to show an attitude that matched her newfound earnestness.
“Ah…”
Line sighed deeply and leaned back in her chair. The chair was so comfortable it almost loosened the tight knots in her mind.
She looked around and swapped her chair for the most rigid one she could find. There were various ways to make oneself uncomfortable.
Refocusing, Line turned back to the documents, filtering through the content. She remained in that position, concentrating, unaware of the setting sun behind her. She didn’t hear the sound of the door opening either.
Returning from work, Song Kang paused upon seeing Line still working. He wondered why the specially ordered zero-gravity chair was unused and why she hadn’t turned on the lights despite the sun setting. First, he turned on the light.
Only when the surroundings brightened did Line look up.
“When did you arrive?”
Song Kang, only after adjusting the sensor for automatic light activation, turned to face her.
“Didn’t you hear the door open?”
Line, without responding, just blankly stared at Song Kang. He approached her, noticing the significant amount of documents she had moved from the shelf to the desk and from above to below the desk.
“Have you already read this much?”
“With no one looking for me, and seemingly faster than when I was at the prosecution, it’s actually nice.”
Song Kang was simply astounded by her reply.
“No one looking for you…”
He moved closer to Line, crossing his arms and looking skeptically at her phone.
Only then did Line pick up her phone and check the incoming messages. There were five texts from Song Kang and eight from Haein, as well as some missed calls.
“Ah, when did all these communications… come in?”
Line’s eyes seemed lost and bewildered.
