“Let’s go to the hospital quickly.”
As they left the police station building, Gaeul spoke to Daewoon.
“I’m okay.”
“Are you really okay? You made a fuss earlier, saying you were going to die. You mentioned something about a broken rib.”
Gaeul sharply remarked. Daewoon glanced at her. Instead of being grateful, he wondered why he got hit like this because of her.
“Lawyer, thank you for your hard work. Could you drop me and the boss off at the hospital emergency room on your way? It seems difficult to catch a taxi at this late hour.”
Gaeul politely asked Sehyun, who was smiling beside her.
“Gaeul did all the hard work. Thanks to the video Gaeul took with her phone, things went smoothly.”
Before Daewoon, who hadn’t been beaten yet, hit the small father-in-law, Gaeul understood his subtle signal. So she quickly turned on the phone camera.
Trying to explain and show off in front of the investigating detective before getting hit by her small father-in-law, Daewoon’s grandstanding didn’t work when the detective saw the video that Gaeul took. In the video, Daewoon didn’t resist at all.
Furthermore, Daewoon exaggeratedly complained next to him. Daewoon, who was pretending to be in agony, was so embarrassing that Gaeul couldn’t forget the gaze of the detectives who looked at him as if he were pathetic.
“If there were no video, Gaeul and Daewoon would have been suspected of self-harm and coercion. While being questioned, no matter how much he explained, watching him, I felt my face getting hot.”
Sehyun continued to smile and made a witty remark.
“Right? Even though his feet didn’t touch his chest, is it reasonable to make a fuss as if his rib is broken?”
“That’s how it should be done so that the other party doesn’t dare to mess with you again. I thought I touched a sore spot by mistake.”
Daewoon, truly shameless, was casual.
“Sister!”
At that moment, someone shouted and approached from one side of the police station yard.
“Winter!”
“Sorry, I’m too late. The pharmacy with the door open is closed.”
Winter handed a plastic bag to Gaeul.
“Then where did you get this?”
“I asked Sugeun.”
“Oh, Sugeun’s father was a pharmacist.”
Sugeun was Winter’s longtime friend. It was good to have a place to turn to when he felt lonely in the neighborhood for a long time.
“Thank you for helping, sister.”
Winter bowed deeply to Daewoon.
“Still, I thank Winter, unlike someone ungrateful.”
Daewoon grumbled, but he looked at Winter with warm eyes. Winter’s face was sweaty. It seemed like he had tried hard to get the medicine. Winter expressed his gratitude in that way.
“Sorry, sister. I should have been there. What happened to the small father-in-law?”
“He’s screwed.”
Answering on behalf of Daewoon, who was groaning instead, the place where he got hit seemed painful, and his face wrinkled.
“Han Myeongho seems to be sent to the police station detention center tonight. The guardian refused to take over the recruit. It seems he often drinks and causes accidents. The police will protect him until he sobers up and release him tomorrow morning.”
Sehyun provided a more dignified and kindly rephrased version of Daewoon’s response.
“After being released from the detention center, what then? Can he freely roam around?”
Winter asked with a face that didn’t show much concern.
“He won’t be completely free. We’ll file a restraining order so that he can’t approach within a hundred meters of you and your sister. But even without that, do you think we have the luxury to care about you guys? We’ll be busy going back and forth between the police and the court. And we have a competent lawyer here.”
Daewoon laughed heartily but winced again, making a groaning sound as the hit area seemed painful.
“Crazy guy. Are you in your right mind, calling an attorney specializing in corporate law for a simple assault case? It’s the first time I’ve been to a police station since my days as a rookie lawyer. Do you know how much my hourly rate is?”
“Uh, you don’t have to file a restraining order against us.”
Autumn intervened, tensely, as Sehyun mentioned the legal fees.
“Don’t worry about Gaeul. The request was made to this friend.”
Hearing Sehyun’s words, Gaeul realized that her face was the window to her heart. Handsome people are truly beautiful inside.
Sehyun reluctantly drove Gaeul and Winter to her car, promising to take them home. When Autumn suggested that they should first take the boss to the hospital, Sehyun simply accepted.
“We’ll go to the hospital. I have to get a medical certificate. Daewoon, my body is somewhat damaged, so don’t worry too much. That kid deliberately let himself be hit in the face. It looks like he got seriously injured that way.”
Whether it was an empty persuasion or not, Gaeul thought that Sehyun’s words sounded plausible.
Except for the face, the boss seemed excessively well, of course. Of course, Gaeul almost laughed at the words that the boss is a friend who takes care of his body.

“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
