“There’s no other reason. It will be rejected because I’m innocent.”
A single line that entered Line’s eyes, spoken by him in front of the photo line. And it was something she had said to him.
Line’s gaze went to his photo, and she felt a strange lump in her throat as she tried to appear unaffected. She couldn’t bear to look at him anymore, so she turned off the news article.
“Get a hold of yourself…”
Line murmured softly. And she began preparing for the trial, which was just around the corner. Even though her mind wasn’t in it at all.
Passing through the photo line and entering the courthouse, Songkang strongly felt the urge to wash immediately.
“Director, from here, the staff members cannot accompany you. Only the minimum number of lawyers will.”
Songkang nodded with a heavy expression at the Director of Legal Affairs’ words.
Come to think of it…
“Why didn’t you report the list of lawyers who are part of the minimum number?”
Songkang had endured a lot until now. At this point, it was not a fight with the prosecution or the Director of Legal Affairs but a battle with himself.
“Oh, Director, I will be the main one conducting the debate anyway.”
“Do you think it’s not too obvious whom I’m communicating with?”
“Director, please don’t misunderstand. The situation has been so urgent that I simply forgot.”
Songkang didn’t have time to listen to his excuses.
“So who is it? Who’s the lawyer entering the courtroom?”
What was crucial for Songkang was whether Attorney Cha Haein would accompany him or not. The Director of Legal Affairs handed over a list, and Cha Haein’s name was not on it. Songkang examined the list, but Haein was nowhere to be seen.
Was she bought off as well? Did she betray him again like this?
Then, from a distance, Haein came running.
“Director! I’m also accompanying you! Director! I’ve brought a revised list!”
Songkang looked at Haein with relief, and their eyes met. The Director of Legal Affairs could only be bewildered by Haein’s actions.
“What are you doing now?”
“Ah, I instructed it. Attorney Cha Haein has worked tirelessly day and night; it’s only natural that she should be with us.”
Songkang quickly appointed Haein as his lawyer. He wanted to express his gratitude, but he chose to convey it by placing his hand on her shoulder.
“It’s almost time. Let’s go in.”
Songkang checked his watch and started walking. The Director of Legal Affairs, hiding his irritation, followed behind Songkang.
The air inside the courtroom was as heavy as usual. In front of Songkang were the judge’s seat, and on both sides were the prosecutor’s and defense lawyer’s seats.
Songkang sat down with a heavy heart, and his legal team took their places as well.
“Attorney Cha Haein, talk to me after it’s over.”
The Director of Legal Affairs warned Haein sternly. Haein felt uncomfortable, but she had no other thoughts besides implementing the argument that Prosecutor Jin Line had conveyed.
Not long after that, Prosecutor Choi Juhyeok and Prosecutor Yoon Nansul arrived and took their seats. Even during the journey to this place, a few prosecutors did not look as good as the defendant.
Juhyeok had been struggling until the end with whether Songkang’s detention investigation was the right thing to do, and Nansul, with the help of Chief Prosecutor, had persuaded Juhyeok.
To be precise, Juhyeok was not persuaded. He still couldn’t understand if he had come out as a prosecutor or if he was reluctantly appearing as a ridiculous junior defense lawyer. Even at this moment, he couldn’t convince himself.
The atmosphere in the courtroom was complex, with each person in their respective positions. However, there would be only one conclusion.
When the presiding judge entered the courtroom, everyone stood up. And when the judge showed respect to the court and took his seat, everyone sat down.
Songkang felt deeply sorry for Haein, who must be burdened by taking on his case, but he concentrated solely on himself without leaning to the left or right.
“Prosecution, please begin.”
The presiding judge calmly announced the start, and Nansul displayed the evidence on the screen. Once again, they were blaming Songkang for not actively cooperating with the investigation. They argued that in order to have a proper trial, the detention investigation must proceed.
“Is it admitted…?”
“No. It’s not admitted.”
Songkang interrupted the Director of Legal Affairs and refuted Prosecutor Yoon Nansul’s argument. The Director of Legal Affairs looked bewildered as he gazed at Songkang.
Nansul was also taken aback, and Juhyeok, who had come out reluctantly, glanced at Songkang’s face, his eyes flashing with anger.
The Director of Legal Affairs and Prosecutor Yoon Nansul had thought they could go back and forth with Songkang and reach a compromise, but they realized that it might not go smoothly.
“Director…”
The Director of Legal Affairs alternated his gaze between Songkang and Prosecutor Yoon Nansul, as if trying to figure out whose reaction to observe. His actions revealed his confusion. Songkang couldn’t hide his frustration and clenched his fist on his knee.
“The prosecution’s argument cannot be admitted at all.”
He said it firmly once more, as if driving a nail into a board.
