“Prosecutor Jin Line, bring the work you were doing right now. Let me see.”
Line hesitated as she looked at the desktop monitor. It was content she couldn’t show to Songkang just yet. Line reached for the mouse.
However, she couldn’t click it readily and hesitated. Songkang watched her like that and then approached her.
“May I look at the monitor, or would you prefer to print it?”
He stared at her intensely, and Line avoided his gaze.
“I’ll print it.”
Line knew he had already sensed something, and she didn’t want to lie anymore.
As soon as the printer started, Songkang went in that direction. He picked up the printed material, a concise summary of her recent activities.
When combined with the information Haein would send, it would provide almost everything needed. Songkang placed the material on the conference table and took a seat.
“Come over here and explain what this is.”
Line approached Songkang as if she were a guilty person.
“Sit down. We’re here to have a conversation, not to argue.”
At his words, Line took a seat. Songkang glanced at the material, only moving his eyes.
“What is the material you requested from Attorney Cha Haein, and what is this? The time period the prosecution claims there was a crime seems a bit different.”
“I was… reviewing some necessary information.”
“So, you’re asking why Prosecutor Jin Line needs this material?”
At that moment, Songkang’s phone vibrated, but he chose not to answer because the ongoing conversation was more important. The phone stopped vibrating as if it had disconnected, then started again.
Songkang frowned and looked at the phone screen. He could see that it was a call from Attorney Cha Haein.
Since Songkang would usually leave a short message or send an email if he didn’t answer, the consecutive phone calls suggested that there might be something urgent.
“Just a moment.”
Songkang asked for Line’s understanding and answered the call.
“What’s going on, Attorney Cha?”
Line also realized that the call was from Haein. She watched Songkang’s expression closely.
Could it be… already…
“Did you mention an arrest warrant?”
As Songkang said this, he fixed his gaze on Line. She no longer avoided his eyes. The situation had become her responsibility.
“Yes, I understand. I’ll wait for the report from the law firm until then.”
After ending the call, silence filled the office.
Songkang no longer needed Line’s explanation. He had pieced together the puzzle of what had happened.
The previous day, Prosecutor Choi Juhyuk had called Line, and if they had met, he would have heard about the news inside the prosecution.
Then, late at night, whether by mistake or intentionally, Line had called him and hung up in embarrassment.
Considering the content of the call with Attorney Cha Haein today, the answer became clear.
“Well… Director, about what happened…”
Line spoke first. She felt the need to explain what had happened.
“Did you know about it?”
She didn’t want to say that she had known about it from Juhyuk. Line lowered her head deeply.
“Was that the reason for your call yesterday? Since you’d already called, you could have told me.”
There was a hint of disappointment in Songkang’s voice.
“Do you not trust me?”
Line remained silent, keeping her lips tightly sealed. Songkang tried to calm himself, but he couldn’t figure out how to express this feeling without letting his emotions show.
So, he rose from his seat without a word, and Line’s gaze followed him upward.
“I’ll handle this case with Attorney Cha.”
“Director, please listen to my side of the story.”
Line called out to him as she got up from her chair. Songkang stopped but didn’t give her any attention. He wore a cold expression.
“I didn’t expect the prosecution to move so quickly.”
“It sounds like you knew they would move at some point.”
“Yes… you’re right. I should have told you earlier, I apologize.”
She quickly admitted her mistake and offered a polite apology, but for some reason, Songkang’s heart didn’t seem to be easing.
“Is that all?”
“Well…”
Line made an expression as if she really didn’t know why he was pressing further.
“Was the loyalty to Prosecutor Choi Juhyuk that important?”
Her eyes wavered dimly in response to his question.
Afterward, when she didn’t continue speaking, he turned away and started to walk. Line grabbed his arm. Her grip wasn’t strong, but he willingly let her hold him. Songkang finally looked at Line.
“Director…”
Line withdrew her hand, which had reached out involuntarily.
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
Today, she had a lot to apologize for. Line blinked rapidly, not knowing where to direct her gaze. She looked at him as if she had organized her thoughts.
“Senior Juhyuk’s loyalty was important, but I couldn’t act that way. Today, I requested information from Attorney Cha Haein and was preparing materials for an arrest warrant. It’s because of that.”
Her face, incapable of lying, was full of regret. Of course, she was sorry for Prosecutor Choi Juhyuk, but ultimately, she was saying that she had acted for Songkang’s sake.
