His response came back with more difficult words than what he had said. It felt like he had received homework. That was Line’s intention. She wanted to pass the ball to him because she didn’t want to show her emotional shortcomings.
Songkang was aware of her ambiguous attitude, but if he had to bear with it, he was willing to do so.
They weren’t burdens to each other. They both accepted the homework and went about their schedules.
As soon as they left the office, a chill crept into her body. Line shrank her body and took steps. At that moment, she received another call from Juhyuk. Line hesitated for a moment.
Why am I hesitating?
It felt like the aftermath of the homework Songkang had given her. Line pulled herself together and answered the call. Juhyuk suggested having dinner together.
They used to have lunch and dinner together every day when they were at the prosecution office, but recently, Line had indeed distanced herself from him.
The heavily overcast sky seemed like it would pour rain soon, and her ominous premonition turned out to be correct. Line shrank her body and walked through the rain as quickly as she could.
She barely managed to hail a taxi in the nasty weather. Throughout her journey home, she prayed for the rain to stop.
The rain didn’t stop until the taxi arrived at Line’s house, and as she was about to hurry out of the taxi, she dropped her phone on the ground.
“Oh, no.”
Line picked up the phone that had fallen on the ground.
Was it because of the cold winter rain that she couldn’t feel it anymore, or did someone cover her with an umbrella? She couldn’t feel the falling rain.
Line lifted her head, and at the end of her gaze, Juhyuk was standing there with an umbrella.
“Oh? Senior.”
“Ugh, give it to me. What will you do if you wipe it like that on your clothes?”
Juhyuk knew that Line didn’t usually carry an umbrella, but every time he saw her getting wet in the rain like this, it saddened him. Juhyuk brushed away the dirt on Line’s coat with his fingers.
“Why is a grown-up like you getting wet in the rain?”
“I just got out of a taxi a moment ago.”
Juhyuk wiped away the moisture on Line’s hand with his own hand and then put her hand into the pocket of his coat, enveloping her shoulder.
“Let’s go inside first. It’s cold.”
The chicken, ordered by the landlord, was hanging on the doorknob. Juhyuk picked up the chicken.
Line tried to enter the password with one hand, but he pressed the password behind her before her. Juhyuk opened the door.
Juhyuk took Line’s hand, leading her into the warm house. It felt a bit warmer inside.
“It hasn’t been delivered for long. It’s still warm. Wash your hands and come.”
Juhyuk also washed his hands and started setting up the chicken on the dining table. By the time Line finished washing her hands, everything was prepared and ready to eat. Juhyuk handed her a cup of warm water.
“Warm up your body. You shouldn’t catch a cold.”
“Thank you.”
Prosecutor Choi Juhyuk was known for his politeness and neat work, but he was not someone known for being affectionate. Juhyuk had always wanted to say to Line, “I’m only like this with you.”
“Are you busy preparing for the reinstatement lawsuit?”
Juhyuk secretly worried about what Line was doing at this hour.
“Yes… something like that.”
Line held the mug as if she were clutching it. It felt like her body would melt in the warmth. Juhyuk scooped out chicken onto Line’s plate.
“Eat slowly. You shouldn’t get sick.”
Seeing Juhyuk taking care of her made it seem like her condition was not good.
“Senior, is something wrong? What’s going on?”
His sigh that burst out before he could say no didn’t seem ordinary.
“No.”
“What is it? Is there something you can’t tell me?”
“Line, I want to tell you not to come back again when I think you’ll suffer returning to the prosecution, but I miss you so much right now.”
Line suspected that the person who would make his heart burst would either be Prosecutor Bumjang or Yun Nansul.
“Yun Nansul…! Ha…”
As expected. Whether she said it or not, Yun Nansul was unreasonable. Line didn’t want to bother with her actions.
But if you’re someone who doesn’t want to speak, you have to listen, and there was no choice but to listen.
“They’re going to arrest Director Na Songkang. This is crazy…”
Line’s eyes widened at the completely unexpected story.
Nansul was determined to take revenge on Songkang for the humiliation he suffered during the summons investigation.
Although Chief Prosecutor Bumjang had been waiting for the right moment to pressure Director Na Songkang at the request of the head of the legal department, Nansul had taken the lead, and he was actually grateful for that.
However, the problem was that Nansul had talked to Chief Prosecutor without discussing it with Juhyuk, who was leading the practical work, and notified him without any prior consultation.
If Juhyuk had known in advance, he would have drawn the line and said that arresting Director Na Songkang was impossible. Juhyuk was simply dumbfounded by Nansul’s absurd attitude.
