Ha Jun, who lowered his feet under the makeshift bed, swept his hair back with the hand he had wiped his face with.
“I hate this song because it reminds me of someone. Don’t play it in front of me from now on.”
Jiyoon’s serious expression while listening to the song was the reason for today’s repetition of events.
He took a deep breath and reached for Jiyoon’s phone that she had placed on the makeshift bed.
Then, he stopped the song that repeatedly played, the one with lyrics saying if love hurts, it’s not love.
It had been three weeks since he rented a part of Lawyer Park Hoon’s office to stay.
During that time, Ha Jun learned a few things.
Lawyer Park was preparing to file a complaint against U Jeong-hyeon, the reason he quit his job as a corrupt prosecutor, and was also working on a lawsuit related to the U Jeong-hyeon case.
Currently charged with murder, U Jeong-hyeon, at the time of his arrest, was committing heinous acts at a club.
Even before this, there were countless victims of U Jeong-hyeon, but no one dared to press charges. The power held by a major conglomerate in South Korea was that overwhelming.
Lawyer Park planned to persuade the victims to file charges against U Jeong-hyeon and receive compensation.
And Jiyoon was a victim and witness of U Jeong-hyeon.
“Jeong-hyeon. Wait. You! I’m going to make you pay for my leg soon.”
When Ha Jun first heard Jiyoon’s words, he recalled the promising figure skater from Lawyer Park’s file.
However, the face was different from the picture, and Jiyoon denied it too.
“When I opened my eyes, I was with U Jeong-hyeon at a club he frequents. Ask the lawyer for more details.”
That was all Jiyoon said.
During the time Ha Jun was sleeping, he took the cigarette pack and headed towards the entrance without securing the leg brace that was released.
Then, he heard Jiyoon’s voice from behind.
“Mister. Use the brace and don’t take it off. Something big might happen. You shouldn’t remove it yet.”
Ignoring her words, Ha Jun went up to the rooftop.
Taking out a cigarette and placing it in his mouth, he looked at several exercise machines scattered around and various chairs of different shapes.
At that moment, the rooftop door opened, and a man came out.
It was Kang Hae-sol, the kind-hearted brothel owner. Surprisingly, he was the landlord of this old building.
Holding a half brace, Jiyoon climbed up to the end of the stairs and greeted Hae-sol politely before approaching with confidence.
When Jiyoon, breathing heavily, put down the brace, Ha Jun took a deep drag of the cigarette smoke he had inhaled deeply.
It was a petty revenge for playing a nightmarish song every morning. Ironically, he chuckled at the ridiculous act.
“Ugh. Smell. Sir…”
Unable to finish her sentence, she turned her head and waved her hand to disperse the smoke.
Ha Jun laughed blandly as he inhaled the cigarette smoke deeply again.
“Ugh. Smell. Sir!”
“Why. J… Ji. Hmm.”
Why does this child have to be named ‘Jiyoon’?
Feeling pathetic about his thoughts, Ha Jun made a flatulent sound and turned towards the rooftop railing.
Not Jian, not Jiyoon.
Due to the mere similarity in tone, nothing had improved to the point where he could even mention her name.
‘Only my body is ruined.’
Without any intention of going down, he reluctantly put the brace on his leg while looking at Ji Yoon, who glared at him like an angry cat.
“Is it done?”
“And my name is Ji Yoon. How many times do I have to say it? Don’t you remember? Or can’t you?”
“Why do you keep calling me ‘Mister’ then? You’re not a lawyer either.”
“If you don’t help with suing Woo Jeong-hyun, then you’re not my lawyer either. You’re just someone who hangs around our office, eating our food.”
“Food expenses, I charge to my card?”
“Sure thing.
And even more amusing was the fact that, despite not being able to comfortably call her by name like Jian, the lighthearted exchange of words with that girl wasn’t bad.
“If it’s a 100% win rate, isn’t that a complete lie? What if it’s true? If I didn’t have money, I wouldn’t have hired a lawyer.”
Ji Yoon accurately pointed out the facts, turned around, and walked towards the stairs. Then, she suddenly turned around and added one more thing.
“Mister, smoking so much will give you lung cancer, and you’ll die. Smoke less.”
Ha Jun took out another cigarette, put it in his mouth, and shrugged his shoulders. Then, he fixed his gaze on Ji Yoon’s legs as she walked away, murmuring something.
‘Ji Yoon used to exercise. She belonged to the same sports marketing company as my niece. She even received sponsorship from Haesong Group.’
Ha Jun pondered the words he heard from Lawyer Park, exhaling the cigarette smoke.
‘Ji Yoon was the first among U Jeong-hyun’s victims to muster the courage. She was with my niece the whole time.’
And Lawyer Park conveyed that his niece tragically lost her life.
‘Ji Yoon and that guy, they both look fine, don’t they? But no. When she’s outside, she wears two layers of hats all the time, huddles and moves around. She only struts around like that inside this building.’
