“Chief Prosecutor Choi! Are you crazy?! How can Jin-rain, who was stabbed with a knife at her house, be in her right mind?!”
Not long ago, it was Chief Prosecutor who asked if she had come to her senses after being stabbed with a knife at Line’s house. It was a remarkable skill to speak differently about the same incident as if turning the palm of the hand.
The Chief Prosecutor picked up the cup of tea beside him as if he was going to throw it at him. Ju-hyuk, undaunted, listened intently to his tirade.
“If this trial ends, I won’t stand still!”
“This trial is conducted by the prosecution. If you don’t want to stand still, you can do something right now.”
The Chief Prosecutor looked dumbfounded and stared at him with his mouth wide open.
“Chief Prosecutor Choi, even if things are wrong now, you know they were very wrong before, right?”
“What? What are you talking about? Are you standing in for Jin-rain because she’s not here?!”
Veins on his clenched fist stood out prominently.
“Aren’t you afraid of retribution, Chief Prosecutor? The former head of Taesung Law Firm, whom you trusted so much, is now busy finding a way to survive.”
The Chief Prosecutor was not unaware. Rumors had spread in the legal community that he was powerless after being ousted by Director Na Song-kang.
However, being the head of the law firm was just a piece of cake. Even though she was still useful as the head of the law firm, she blocked the eyes and ears of Chairman Na, and he still thought she was worth keeping.
“So, arrest Na Song-kang! If Jin-rain is not enough to get through, do you want Chief Prosecutor Choi to end up like Jin-rain?”
It was a threatening tone, but Ju-hyuk didn’t care. Rather, he was simply appalled at how this senior had come to this point.
“There is a law above the rotten organizational culture. That’s why Prosecutor Jin-rain will come back. She will come back as if nothing happened.”
“The world is going crazy! Well done. Is this organization a joke? Where should I try it? It’s just the first trial! Let’s see it through to the end!”
The Chief Prosecutor shouted with veins standing out on his neck.
“Even if we go to the Supreme Court, the result won’t change. We have no logic to justify Prosecutor Jin-rain’s dismissal.”
The Chief Prosecutor was beside himself with the attitude of the junior prosecutor who didn’t say a word of agreement. The Chief Prosecutor swept the objects on the desk and banged his fist on the floor.
“If I’m dead, I’m dead. Jin-rain will never set foot in here again. Never!”
“Chief Prosecutor, let me also say this. If you continue to block the path of junior prosecutors with a wasteful lawsuit, we won’t stay quiet either.”
“We? Who are we, talking about our kids? Do you think you can resist me?”
“If you don’t work hard and act with integrity, you’ll end up like Jin-rain! If that’s what you want to teach, you’re wrong. Before scrutinizing the thoughts of your juniors, isn’t it better to think about the time when you were appointed as the Chief Prosecutor! Among the prosecutors here, no one joined the prosecution to walk a tightrope.”
Ju-hyuk held out an envelope containing petitions and statements written by junior prosecutors, excluding Prosecutor Yun Nan-seul, to the Chief Prosecutor’s desk.
“The original petitions have already been submitted to the court, and this is a copy. The statements haven’t been released yet, but if you continue this fight, we’ll reveal them then. Please carefully consider the future of the prosecution.”
The fact that Ju-hyuk was collecting these petitions and statements didn’t escape the ears of the Chief Prosecutor, indicating that young prosecutors harbored resentment toward the Chief Prosecutor’s actions.
The Chief Prosecutor, enraged, tore the envelope containing documents placed on his desk into pieces. Ju-hyuk, as if showing that he would not tolerate the Chief Prosecutor’s tantrums, bowed politely and left the Chief Prosecutor’s office.
As soon as he left the room, Ju-hyuk’s phone vibrated. He didn’t want to receive any calls from anyone.
Having not sorted out his feelings for Line, who was too important in his life, he hadn’t received any calls since Line visited him after the tragic incident.
Line returned home for the first time since the ominous incident occurred. It felt unfamiliar somehow. Not feeling at ease leaving her alone, Song Kang accompanied her on the way home.
Line stood in front of the entrance for a moment. The vivid image of Ju-hyuk bleeding and collapsing made her dizzy.
“If this house scares you, how about moving somewhere else?”
He suggested cautiously. Line shook her head.
“No, it’s not scary. Since the incident, the security in the apartment has become more thorough, so it’s fine. And the police patrol more frequently. It’s okay, so please go now.”
“Well, then, let’s go inside.”
Song Kang took Line’s hand and entered the house.
“If I tell you to go with a listless face like this, will I feel more comfortable leaving?”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
