Even with his words, Line’s shoulders remained slumped. Even without detailed explanations from Line and Hae-in, Ju-hyuk could guess that the prosecution had not provided Line with favorable statements or pleasant stories.
“If you keep doing this, I’ll have to ask what happened in the Prosecutor Jin-rain’s reinstatement lawsuit. Is that okay?”
Once again, Line nodded her head.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t interested in the trial but rather because she had promised not to get involved.
“Are you uneasy about the trial result?”
Line nodded again. She wasn’t worried about that. Her heart, which had been moved by Ju-hyuk’s actions, still hadn’t settled.
“Then what’s the reason? Instead of nodding, tell me with words.”
At his urging, Line stopped all her actions and firmly closed her mouth. Song Kang took a step closer to Line and gazed at her face intently. Truly, she was not an easy person to handle.
“I’m more curious when Jin-rain prosecutor is like this. About Cha Hae-in, the lawyer…”
“No. The trial is progressing well, and the results don’t seem bad.”
Song Kang couldn’t accept Line’s formal answer.
“Then is it because of that senior?”
Due to her face that couldn’t lie, it was clear even without hearing the answer.
“It could be because of our long history. But I hope it doesn’t last long.”
He conceded about ten steps. Rather than understanding, it was more like a concession. Human emotions couldn’t be tied down in any way.
However, jealousy was also one of the instincts that was hard to control, so it wasn’t easy to simply understand.
“Miss, I can promise one thing for sure. Senior Ju-hyuk is not my significant other.”
“What’s important here is that senior’s attitude, isn’t it?”
“I’ve made it clear, and I will continue to do so in the future.”
He knew better than anyone that she was not good at speaking two-facedly.
Still, with Line being so attractive and not being left alone by those around her, it was inevitable that he couldn’t relax. Song Kang looked into Line’s face and gently brushed her hair aside.
“Now, if Prosecutor Jin-rain returns to the prosecution, what should I do?”
His words contained two meanings. The hope that Line would win her reinstatement lawsuit and the wish that she wouldn’t distance herself from him.
Only now did Line fully see his face. Realizing that she hadn’t taken good care of Song Kang, who always looked out for her from behind, a feeling of guilt washed over her.
“In a country with advanced transportation and communication, what is there to worry about?”
“That advanced transportation and communication are useless, so that’s the worry.”
It was a dig at Line, who couldn’t be reached easily, spent every day sitting in the office, and only focused on work.
“Someone might think you’re going to be reinstated right away. The prosecution is not such a flexible organization. Prosecutors are not that easygoing.”
“Even though you see someone who is not flexible and not easygoing every day.”
“But you always support me, don’t you? To me…”
“That’s a bit regrettable. I don’t know when I won.”
“See, even now.”
Song Kang looked at Line as if he were comforting her. Looking up at him, Line felt like she had become a child.
He always turned her stubborn and firm nature into something soft. It was something that no one else could achieve, and it was a tremendous ability.
He was the same. There was no one else who could make him feel so frustrated. There was also no one who always left him feeling disappointed.
Whether she knew it or not… Song Kang looked at Line and, without realizing it, smiled.
“Why are you smiling, Director?”
He answered her question by pulling her into an embrace.
In Song Kang’s warm embrace, Line suddenly felt incredibly grateful to be with this person. The gift her parents had sent… in Line’s life, he was such a presence.
No matter what storm came, as long as she held onto this beautiful tree, she felt she wouldn’t be afraid. The desire to protect her own beautiful tree grew even stronger and more desperate.
“Director, have a successful trial and come back. Attorney Cha Hae-in must have gone through a lot. I think she’ll handle it well.”
As the first trial was important, Line and Hae-in poured a lot of effort into it. Song Kang was aware of that.
“Director.”
Line took a step back from his embrace and looked at him.
“They say this trial for you is the trial of the century. But I don’t think so.”
Song Kang listened to her story with only his eyes moving.
“If we successfully block this trial, we’ll have a real trial of the century.”
Revealing Song Kang’s innocence was just the beginning.
“I’m burdening you right now, Director.”
“I always feel a sense of responsibility. If I make a mistake, how can I face Prosecutor Jin-rain?”
“Even if Taesung gets hurt, you should come and argue for his innocence.”
Knowing his personality, Line, who didn’t want to harm others even if it meant sacrificing herself, pleaded with him once again.
He was someone who rarely showed his intentions with his expressions, but now Line could read his gaze.
“Director, won’t you answer?”
At the familiar sound that she had heard many times, Song Kang was taken aback and let out a bitter laugh. After that laughter, silence hung in the air, and Song Kang pondered. He couldn’t make a clear promise regarding Taesung.
“That won’t be possible.”
He couldn’t even say empty words. If that was the case, it would be a big problem. Prosecutor Yun Nan-seul would undoubtedly trap Song Kang with all sorts of tricks… Line, realizing this wouldn’t work, threw a sudden question at Song Kang.
“Even if the final beneficiary of this case is the defendant, Na Song-kang, does the prosecution judge that there is a connection with Chairman Na Tae-soo? Is it a fact that defendant Na Song-kang is directing the practical aspects, with the approval of Chairman Na Tae-soo, even if he is the overall head?”
Faced with the sharp question aimed at his Achilles’ heel, Song Kang’s vision became distant.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

The entire internet was in an uproar.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
