Chapter 24 - Hana, do you want him? (1/2)

The woman dressed in a loose blue shirt and dark pants. Her sleeves are rolled up. She isn't dressed as a lawyer would. Her hair is loosely braided. She is wearing her round old fashioned glasses. His feet are frozen on the doorstep.

Lawyer Pyo notices Do Sejin at the door. ”Why are you standing there? Come and introduce yourself. We don't have all day.”

Ahn Hana turns her head to look at the newcomer. After so many days, their eyes meet again. Do Sejin's heart is thumping heart. He feels like something warm is flowing back in his veins. He walks into the middle of the room.

”My name is Do Sejin.” He gives them a slight bow. ”I aim to become a defense lawyer.”

”Not you too.” Divorce Lawyer Pyo is most upset by Do Sejin's declaration. ”Boss Jung, why is there no one who wants to specialize in divorces? Is it fair that you get two interns while I get none?”

”Defense lawyers get thrilling jobs.” Jung Kwang-soo tongues out.

”Boss Jung, will you ever act as a boss should?” Divorce Lawyer Pyo is disgusted by his showing tongue. ”When will we act like professionals?”

Office Manager Kam points out. ”We only act professional to clients.”

”Manager Kam is right.” Jung Kwang-soo grins. ”Our motto is to make money. Then, make more money. Our clients are the source of our money. We must treat them with respect. Their position is higher than the gods in our lives.”

Office manager Kam bursts out laughing. Senior Bang smiles. Mr. Pyo shakes his head and joins the laugh. Even Ahn Hana can't help but smile. The interns look at this awkwardly. Is this how it should be?

”Do Sejin, you okay with interning under me?” Jung Kwang-soo asks Do Sejin. ”If you don't want to, you can intern under Pyo In-Tak. He will love to teach you about divorces and alimonies. Senior Bang won't take more than one.”

”I only want to intern under Lawyer Ahn Hana.” Do Sejin gazes her coolly. He is serious about being a defense lawyer. Ahn Hana is the best in the room. He knows it because he has closely seen her work at her home.

”Not you too.” Jung Kwang-soo raises his brow and chuckles. ”Hana, do you want him?”

Ahn Hana fills her mouth with a cookie from the plate and starts chewing. An awkward silence fills the room. She didn't even bother to answer, but all of them can hear it.

”Lawyer Ahn is busy. She won't take any intern,” Pyo In-Tak tells Do Sejin. ”You can choose Boss Jung or Me.”

”The best law student of the university should intern under the best lawyer.”

Do Sejin is not boasting. He knows that he is the best student.

”Woah, you are overconfident.” Office manager Kam coughs lightly. It's getting more awkward. Though Ahn Hana is good, Jung Kwang-soo isn't any less than her.

Ahn Hana picks another cookie and puts it inside her mouth. Eun Min Ah looks like she will cry. At this rate, Do Sejin will be quitting. Then, they won't be able to spend time with each other. She scratches her head for ideas. The atmosphere is heavy in the room.
