Paramedics brought a stretcher and moved Juhyuk. Lain, still halfway out of her senses, couldn’t let go of Juhyuk’s hand. The paramedics couldn’t move due to Lain.
“Inspector Jin Lain has to let go… Let’s go.”
Song Kang put his hand on Lain’s shoulder. Lain looked up at him. Song Kang nodded as if to say it was okay. For now, he needed to calm Lain down a bit.
“We’ll transport the patient!”
As they were being moved, Juhyuk’s hand finally left Lain’s.
“Because of me… because of me…!”
Lain began to sob. As she tried to wipe her tear-stained face with her blood-stained hand, Song Kang grabbed her hand and let her bury her face in his chest.
“Hey… I’m enduring a lot right now. Are you going to blame yourself too?”
Lain lifted her face from his chest.
“What if things go really wrong for me?”
Looking into her eyes, it seemed like reason had paralyzed.
“I need to go right away…!”
As she tried to dash out again, Song Kang grabbed her once more. Then, almost dragging her, he led her into the bathroom.
From Song Kang’s objective judgment, Lain moving in her excited state was not going to help anyone. Even if she rushed to Inspector Choi Juhyuk, it was not permissible for her to wander outside in this state.
“They said we shouldn’t go inside until the police arrive!”
Whether she agreed or not, he pulled her away, turned on the tap in the bathroom, and pushed her hands under the water.
“Wash up, change your clothes, and let’s go out. You can’t go anywhere like this.”
Lain looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was covered in blood, and she even seemed to have sweated a lot.
More than that, the lost look in her eyes made Song Kang realize why he had prevented her from going out. As he had said, she washed up, changed clothes, and left the house.
When Lain and Song Kang arrived at the hospital, Juhyuk had already been moved to the intensive care unit. They were anxious about how the surgery had turned out.
“You were lucky. He avoided major organs, and thanks to the emergency treatment you provided while the ambulance was coming, other organ damage isn’t significant.”
Only then did Lain breathe a sigh of relief and regain her composure.
At that moment, Lain’s phone rang.
“Yes, Chief. Is he caught? I’ll be there soon.”
Lain decided she wouldn’t let the guy off easily, and with determination, she started walking with brisk steps. Song Kang followed her with an uneasy feeling.
“Inspector Jin Lain, where are you going again?”
“The culprit is caught. It’s near this police station. I can go alone.”
“Don’t say ridiculous things.”
Song Kang walked ahead of her and personally escorted her to the police station. Even if he spoke to her now, she probably wouldn’t hear, so he did what needed to be done, but he couldn’t leave her alone.
“Miss, the culprit is handcuffed, and there are only 40 officers stationed here. Don’t worry. I’ll go in and come back soon.”
Lain reassured Song Kang, but regardless of what she said, she was determined to settle things today. With lively eyes, she strode into the police station.
“Inspector Jin, why has it been so long since you’ve visited? But wait, is it true that Inspector Choi Juhyuk was stabbed with a knife? He was attacked with a knife? Isn’t that lunatic crazy?”
“That’s right. Where is that lunatic now?”
His tone was calm and sunny. When Lain waved her hand and gestured, some of the police officers moved busily, and all the CCTV cameras in the police station went off.
A police officer quickly opened the door to the detention center. Lain looked around, picked up a flower vase in front of her, and said:
“Oh! Inspector! You can’t do that. Inconspicuously. Inconspicuously.”
Lain grabbed the trash can nearby. Without giving him a chance to react, she stormed into the detention center and struck that bastard’s head with the trash can. It was the moment when Lain’s violent temper reached its peak.
“Ah! Who are you?”
“Whether you’re a man or a woman, are you the crazy bastard who stabbed him for no reason?!”
Startled, the culprit cowered. Lain lunged at him and, as she grabbed him, started hitting him relentlessly. Even though she was caught, she continued pounding him, not letting off steam.
If only she had stabbed herself, she wouldn’t have been this furious. The fact that someone she disliked was suffering because of her made her so angry that she couldn’t bear it.
“Ah! Who are you!”
“Shut up and cover your face! Your face shouldn’t get hurt!”
The culprit covered his face with both arms. Lain, with all her strength, beat him. Even if she killed him here, it wouldn’t have been satisfying.
“Open your eyes and stab yourself! Why harm an innocent person! Stab yourself. Stab yourself! Fearlessly! Where’s the prosecutor?!”
At that moment, someone grabbed her, pulling her in and holding her. It was Song Kang. Even as Lain struggled in his hold, she continued kicking him until the end.
“Chief! Put a muzzle on that child so he can’t make extreme choices! Keep him under 24-hour surveillance!”
Song Kang, using all the strong language he had, barely managed to drag Lain out. He laid her down on the ground, struggling.
When Lain tried to run back into the police station, he barely stopped her. Song Kang’s patience was nearing its limit.
“Let go of this!”
Song Kang never let go of her wrist that he was holding firmly.
“Prosecutor Jin Lain, calm down.”
And calmly, with a firm voice, he held her again. Lain stared at him defiantly. She was so upset that her back was heaving, and it seemed she couldn’t breathe.
While Lain tried to shake him off again, Song Kang held onto her wrist without any waver. He showed a sign of disapproval, shaking his head sideways.
“How much more do I have to endure?”
Song Kang intended not to let her go until she calmed down. She seemed too emotionally driven, and he was concerned.
At this rate, she seemed ready to do anything. Her gasping breaths were becoming less frequent.
“Doesn’t it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
“With all this happening, it doesn’t hurt?”
Song Kang sighed and looked at the back of her hand.
He thought she was asking if her wrist hurt, but it wasn’t. It was about the hand that got hurt while beating the culprit. Lain clenched her fist, wanting to hide her hand.
“Should I just let go of this hand and leave?”
As he asked calmly without showing anger, it was even more frightening.
Looking at him, she could tell how much he had suffered by following her around. His shirt, which he hated getting dirty, was already stained, and the coat was no different.
Exhaustion was evident on his face. As her senses gradually returned, a sense of guilt grew within her.
As he seemed genuinely about to let go, when she felt the strength in his hands gradually loosen, Lain wrapped her arms around his waist before he could release her.
She was afraid he might truly let her go. So, she squeezed him even harder, using all her strength, before he could release her hand.
“No.”
Lain buried her face in Song Kang’s chest.
“Don’t let go of me…”
Her voice, pleading not to be let go, touched Song Kang’s heart deeply.
