Certainly, here’s the English translation of the Korean paragraph you provided:
Song Kang and Line had an unexpected dinner that lasted until late at night, but they inevitably started their day early in the morning.
When Line arrived at the office, Song Kang was standing at the door with a warm cup of coffee. He sensed her slowing down and opened the door, looking at her.
“Usually, when I stand like this, our employees get busier, but Investigator Jin Line seems to be slowing down instead.”
With that, he gestured for Line to enter first. Line walked in hesitantly and greeted, “Hello,” with a formal greeting.
Even though he had arrived earlier and even served coffee, there was nothing he wouldn’t do. It was quite unusual.
Song Kang sat down at the conference table with the coffee, while Line took her seat.
Was it too much to ask for her to come and sit at the conference table…? He was still getting used to her.
“Bring the materials for the summons investigation.”
“Yes.”
The sound of the printer running lasted quite a while. When the notification sound indicating that the printing was done rang, Song Kang got up from his seat and placed the materials on the desk.
“I could have done it myself…”
“The amount of material is quite substantial.”
It was moved because it seemed heavy. Roughly speaking, it was the thickness of an encyclopedia.
Song Kang glanced through the materials, one page at a time, and Line watched him closely. Song Kang also felt her gaze and looked up at her.
Line continued to gaze at him with a thoughtful expression.
“Even if it’s difficult to memorize, can you at least read it all?”
Line asked Song Kang, who burst into laughter.
“I had to have some brains to get into the university I attended.”
Line also knew that much. However, she was worried because she had a busy schedule even without this material to deal with at work.
“That’s not it. Will you have time to read it?”
“Investigator Jin Line always tells her employees most often to ‘keep it concise’ when submitting written materials or reports. Thanks to that, our employees work hard. You should explain kindly, but the content should be concise.”
Even in front of this towering pile of materials, Song Kang showed the composure to offer Line coffee. When he opened the lid of the coffee cup, a rich aroma that could melt away the coldness wafted up with steam.
Following that scent, Line also picked up her cup. The warm coffee seemed to soothe her sensitive and sharp emotions in front of the written materials.
“This time, you must insist on the defendant’s innocence when you go. There’s no prosecutor who wants to catch the real culprit there anymore.”
“What about Prosecutor Yoon Nansul? I know you two are colleagues.”
Knowing that, Line’s expression froze.
“That’s not the point. Isn’t this why we’re preparing like this?”
Song Kang roughly guessed the situation between them from Line’s cold and firm attitude. Her way of speaking irritated Song Kang, but a smile appeared on his face. When he did, Line’s forehead tightened.
“Why are you laughing?”
“It’s an interesting relationship, isn’t it? Well, anyway, the Chief Prosecutor’s office was always led by Investigator Jin Line…”
Song Kang couldn’t continue speaking as he laughed again, seeing Line’s slightly puzzled expression.
“Oh, let’s stop here. It’s quite something to have never lost to the other side, and it’s worth mentioning. Let’s not lose this time either.”
The phrase “my person” struck a chord with Line. She shifted her quivering gaze to the written materials.
“Even if you’re a defendant, there’s power in the person’s voice. When the prosecutor asks about the crime, answer clearly that it’s not true. Whether the Chief Prosecutor remains silent or speaks, insist on innocence.”
Song Kang began jotting down Line’s words on the document.
“‘Na Song Dash’ is the key evidence, but…”
Line stopped, wearing a disappointed expression.
“What’s the problem?”
“I requested a handwriting analysis but haven’t received the results.”
Line pondered for a moment. Yoon Nansul must have seen the handwriting analysis results. The results were clear and straightforward, but perhaps they could be hidden.
“Let’s leave that for now.”
Song Kang was puzzled by Line’s unhelpful explanation.
“We have a reason to communicate for an extended period of time. Since I can’t accompany you to the investigation with Investigator Jin Line, you need to convey everything that’s on your mind to me. Explain why you decided to leave it alone.”
For a moment, Line seemed like she was going to show an annoyed expression, and Song Kang sensed the subtle change in her facial muscles. He had expected this kind of reaction when he pointed out her attitude, and he also felt like he had made a mistake in speaking to someone who had been shaken by the abuse of power wielded by those who held the law.
“But still, be sincere. I’m sorry if what I said earlier was uncomfortable for Investigator Jin Line. I’m sorry.”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
