Chapter 64 - I was just lucky (1/2)
Do Sejin reaches the floor. Coincidentally, he finds Ahn Hana and Jung Kwang-soo waiting for the elevator. He frowns. Ahn Hana is smiling at Jung Kwang-soo. They give him a nod and enter the elevator.
”Aren't you going to get off?” Ahn Hana asks him.
”Oh, he's working here from today.” Jung Kwang-soo informs her. ”Let him come. He's a rookie. He will learn from watching you.”
Her expression doesn't change. ”You make a lot of decision without consulting me.”
”I am your boss.” Jung Kwang-soo rolls his eyes. ”Our law firm is famous. We get a lot of cases. We need people.”
Her aura is easy and carefree. ”I get it.”
Do Sejin sighs. She isn't affected at all. She nearly got killed last night. Though it wasn't the killer, it was still dangerous. What would have happened if he wasn't there? He's sure that Jung Kwang-soo doesn't know yet. He's scared of her and for her.
”Where are we going?” Do Sejin asks them with a calm voice.
”To wake up a boy.” Jung Kwang-soo shares a look with Ahn Hana. Do Sejin is bothered to see that look between them. The chemistry between them has awoken again. They go straight to the hospital. Jung Kwang-soo and Ahn Hana don't tell him much.
When they arrive in the ward, they notice something is wrong. There are already people at the scene.
”What's going on?” Jung Kwang-soo asks a cop.
”The boy has been pretending to be unconscious for four days.” The cop informs them. ”The prosecutor noticed it during his last visit.”
The case was given to Ahn Hana yesterday. It's already solved today?
Ahn Hana walks toward the room. The boy is sitting on the bed with his head lowered. The prosector is talking to him in a mild voice. His mother is looking at the boy with a complicated gaze.
”You shouldn't try to kill yourself because you were tired of studying. You shouldn't try to frame someone either. If you are being bullied, you should report him.”
”I did.” The boy's voice is full of despair. ”The school didn't care. My mother only wanted me to go to school. I was tired of everything. I hated him the most. He had everything that I didn't have. So, I stole his ID and jumped. I didn't die.”
The prosecutor sighs. ”Trying to frame someone is also a crime.”
Ahn Hana has studied the case and the height of the building. The building isn't high. The boy fell through the tree. She had read the medical reports. When she visited last time, she noticed him open his eyes once when she talked about the scholarships.
She glances at the man in a baggy and creased white shirt and black trousers. His dark hair is somewhat rumpled. He seems a bit tired. He is holding a pen, but he hasn't written anything on the notebook. Under her penetrating gaze, He scans her carefully. ”You look familiar. Where have I seen you before?”
”Prosector Im.” She smiles at him politely. Her tone is neither warm nor cold. ”My name is Ahn Hana. I have seen you at the court frequently.”
”Lawyer Ahn.” His gapes at her foolishly. ”I got demoted because of you.”
