For now, the scene he just witnessed and reality left him breathless.
The sight of Ji An running into Woo Dan Woo’s arms looked like a heartbreaking couple to anyone.
He was confused as he had never thought of Ji An like that.
It was hard to accept that Ji An had a boyfriend.
He wanted to calm his emotions first.
He wanted to break free from the heaviness and confront the distorted reality headon.
After calming the emotions he was feeling now, he wanted to find a reason to acknowledge Woo Dan Woo, who was by Ji An’s side.
Ha Joon got into the car and leaned heavily on the seat.
He closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and slowly thought about what he could do.
He wanted to know what kind of feelings Ji An had for Representative Woo Dan Woo. He had seen it with his eyes, but he wanted to hear it honestly from her.
But he thought that if he could stay steady while looking at Ji An, he could listen to her words calmly.
He remembered the business card of Attorney Park Hoon that he had received from Yu Jin.
He thought that if he went there, his intense emotions might calm down a little.
He thought that if he talked about something completely unrelated in an unfamiliar place, he might buy time to see this moment intuitively.
Ha Joon’s car stopped in an open space in front of the address marked on Attorney Park’s business card.
Standing in the dark hallway on the third floor of an old building, he read the black letters on a white plastic background.
[Park Hoon Attorney’s Office.]Knock, knock.
“Yes. Come in.”
Ha Joon entered the office and greeted Attorney Park.
Attorney Park silently watched Ha Joon. His gaze, as he set down a coffee on the table, was one of wondering why that guy was here.
“I got it from Attorney Jung. The business card.”
“Ah! Yu Jin.”
“I heard you quit being a prosecutor. I was surprised you turned down being a Chief Prosecutor. Didn’t you do all sorts of things for that?”
“That’s right. Yes.”
Ha Joon openly referred to Attorney Park’s past.
He was a prosecutor who had helped corrupt politicians using the law rather than upholding it.
Rumors ran rampant in the industry when the person who had been such had abruptly quit before becoming the Chief Prosecutor.
They said he had cut off his tail, that he must have been killed somewhere.
Yu Jin, informing him of the opening of his law practice, had also said that he helps those who need a lawyer but don’t have the money.
He began to wonder why Attorney Park, who had been a corrupt prosecutor, had changed.
Furthermore, whether it was because he had been handling a series of unethical cases recently, a corrupt prosecutor or a lawyer chasing money seemed to be in a similar situation.
Attorney Park sat facing Ha Joon, pointing to the black leather sofa. He took one of the coffees Ha Joon had brought and pushed the other one forward.
“Are you still working at ‘Geonguk’?”
“Yes.”
“It was most surprising that you became a lawyer. I thought you would become a righteous prosecutor.”
Touching a disposable tumbler, Ha Joon responded.
“What does it matter what I choose? Whether it’s a lawyer or a prosecutor, we use the law to expose crimes.”
Attorney Park compared himself, who was once a corrupt prosecutor, with Ha Joon, a lawyer of a large law firm.
“The things done by a dog of power or a slave of money are the same. But the law should be above power. In that respect, both you and I should not be wearing legal robes.”
Ha Joon neither affirmed nor denied, but the coffee tasted bitter.
By the time the bitter taste on the tip of his tongue started to fade, Attorney Park put out a few files.
The files were filled with heinous and cunning cases.
Attorney Park, although a corrupt prosecutor, had a righteous sentiment that couldn’t tolerate injustice remaining, and he couldn’t ignore this work.
Knowing that Ha Joon’s gaze on the case was cool, he wanted to show him the files and hear his opinion.
“Take a look at this before you go. …It’s the case I’ve been digging into lately. I have a feeling of blood surging backward. I want to catch the bad guy.”
Ha Joon lifted the file at the very top. As he flipped through the file and lifted his gaze, Attorney Park finally opened his mouth.
“Twentytwo. She was a promising figure skater. Now she can’t use one of her legs. The bone broke and she missed the treatment period.”
Ha Joon, who had been reading the case file, muttered the name clearly printed on the file.
“Woo Jeong Hyun?”
“It’s the Woo Jeong Hyun you’re thinking of. The fool of Hae Song Group. Hae Song Group is a client of Geonguk, so you actually shouldn’t see this file.”
“Why are you showing it to me then?”
Ha Joon belatedly asked the question that had been nagging him.
“Moreover, what’s the reason for suddenly doing something like this?”
“Why did I quit being a corrupt prosecutor? …I guess there was some justice left in me. The victims kept their mouths shut, and I want to put Woo Jeong Hyun in. That’s why I need your wisdom to judge serious cases calmly.”
“That doesn’t sound like something you’d say. Unless you know one of the victims.”
Attorney Park paused before opening his mouth.
“…There is one. What can I do as a Chief Prosecutor? There’s nothing I can do.”
“Can I ask who it is?”
He shook his head, indicating that he couldn’t reveal more.
“If you’re not going to quit Geonguk Law Firm, don’t try to know more. One of the victims.”
Attorney Park was aware that the Hae Song Group was a client of the Geonguk Law Firm.
He touched the end of the file, indicating that Ha Joon should read it if he wanted, and then closed his mouth again.
As he read the file, Ha Joon’s eyes gradually became colder.
Ha Joon alternately looked at two pictures: one of a woman with porcelainlike skin and sophisticated eyes, and another of the same woman with half of her face burned by fire. They were clearly the same person.
Seeing Ha Joon’s hardened expression, Attorney Park continued to explain.
“She was the sales management team leader of Hae Song Mart. A mother of a fiveyearold child. Now, as you can see, one side of her face is ruined.”
Ha Joon looked at the remaining files with a speculative eye.
As he suspected that the common factor in these files might be all about Woo Jeong Hyun, Attorney Park provided the answer.
“All these files are the deeds of Woo Jeong Hyun. You know the Hae Song legal team’s team leader Ha Young Joon, right? His work is fast and accurate. With that level, he would have connections in both the police and prosecution. What can be done with money is beyond imagination.”
Ha Joon had once seen Team Leader Ha Young Joon in the United States when Woo Jeong Hyun went there for a murder case. He was a perfectionist and a quickwitted character.
Ha Joon asked with interest.
“How are the victims doing now?”
“In professional terms, it’s called posttraumatic stress disorder, isn’t it? As you can see, given the opponent, they live in hiding.”
There was regret in Attorney Park’s voice. Ha Joon, while putting the file he was reading onto another file, added,
“I’m not sure how I can help, but I’ll take a look.”
Attorney Park pressed the top of the file with his palm and spoke in a heavily sinking voice.
“You can’t take it with you. Either look at it here and go, or ignore it. You can pretend you didn’t see it.”
The Hae Song Group was a client of the Geonguk Law Firm. Moreover, Ha Joon was an attorney at the Geonguk Law Firm.
He had no intention of handing over the files to Ha Joon.
Without forcing the issue, Ha Joon quietly put the files down. It was because of the determined look in Attorney Park’s eyes.
He couldn’t understand why he showed him the files. But his attention was already focused on the files.
Ha Joon sat back on the sofa and pulled the files towards him.

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
