409.

Central District Prosecutors’ Office, 5th Trial Division Office.

“Ha, what does our prosecutor Park Lee-Hyeon always do when he has free time?”

Right below Ahn Ji-won, the duo of Choi Jeong-woo and Jeon Yun-woo spoke while furtively looking at Park Yi-hyun’s monitor.

Because the entire 5th trial division had been expanded, there were so many people that the prosecutors were separated by partitions, almost like private rooms, but they still had their heads sticking out.

It wasn’t that I was watching secretly, but I was watching openly, and I wasn’t picking a fight.

“… .”

It was clear that the things that Park Hyun-ah called her hobbies were truly unique, and this was something they both acknowledged.

There was quite a bit on the monitor screen, but it wasn’t a system or document that inspectors usually looked at, so it was understandable to be curious.

“hmm.”

Park Hyun-ah glanced at the two and then began to briefly explain in a very businesslike tone.

“There is a company that recently succeeded in developing a system to measure the reliability of a site that censors papers, so I am checking the open source.”

“Ah, that… what kind of coding is that?”

“Is it related to some kind of programming hobby you do?”

“Well. Let’s just say that.”

“Are you studying?”

“You could say that.”

Even if that were not the case, he would have answered like this.

Since Jeon Yun-woo and Choi Jeong-woo kept asking questions in turns, it would have been appropriate for them to answer in more detail, but Park Yi-hyun kept her gaze fixed on the monitor and continued to give vague answers without any explanation.

“Glkun.”

It seemed like the other people weren’t expecting a precise answer either, so they answered briefly and with one voice. They must have been bored.

In fact, since Park Yi-hyeon had never explained things so kindly to anyone other than Ahn Ji-won, they ended the conversation without much interest or expectations from each other.

Knock knock.

Only the sound of Park Lee-hyun’s keyboard continued. He was interested in science and often did things with programming, computers, and machines. So, senior prosecutors and field officers passing by would gossip about him like this.

-Does he have any experience as a programmer?

-No, I heard you have a side job?

-No. I’m the head of a venture company, so that’s my main job, and inspection is my hobby.

-Oh my god!

Of course, this is not true. This is just a conversation between prosecutors who are far removed from this field, so these are just words that are exchanged.

Park Lee-hyun also understood. He knew that in order to reach a level where conversational compatibility was right, he had to go to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s cyber investigation team or forensics team.

“Then, shall we eat separately, Mr. Famous Programmer?”

“yes.”

“Aha, okay. Then let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Knock knock.

widely.

“Hmm.”

Prosecutor Park Lee-Hyeon was focused only on the monitor, as if he didn’t care even though the two inspectors left immediately.

Crack, crack.

Then, when An Ji-won suddenly passed by, he turned his head as if it was a reaction.

“What about food?”

“I’ll take care of it.”

“okay.”

When Park Yi-hyeon did the same thing to Choi Jeong-woo and Jeon Yun-woo to Ahn Ji-won, only then did he take his hands off the keyboard and look around blankly.

“Phew.”

The 5th Division prosecutors, excluding Baek Hoon-sik, are classmates from the 8th class of law school.

An Ji-won and Jeon Yun-woo are the same age, and the rest are younger than the two, but they are all like friends.

However, Park Hyun-ah originally thought of herself as having a somewhat special position.

He thought that he was the one who connected the youngest Baek Hoon-sik of the 5th trial division with Choi Jeong-woo and Jeon Yun-woo above him, and worked the hardest to support Ahn Ji-won.

Especially Chief Prosecutor Ahn Ji-won.

Senior Ahn Ji-won, Ahn Ji-won, Ji-won… .

‘Support.’

A prickly and ambitious prosecutor, but a perfect and charming person at work.

And to be honest, she’s a pretty person.

Ideal type?

‘ah!’

Park Hyun-ah suddenly felt dizzy as she shook her head violently.

“It won’t work.”

Suddenly.

He hesitated and thought about it for a moment, then quickly got up from his seat to carry out a thought that had recently occurred to him.

Stuttering.

“Huh. Huh?”

He was taken aback for a moment.

This is not right.

He had to try to erase the bad thoughts from his mind, but his feet were going in the opposite direction.

In front of the office of the 5th trial division chief.

dripping.

-Come in.

When I opened the door, I saw Kang Hyun, who still looked busy. When he gently bowed his head to greet me, Kang Hyun looked at me with eyes bright with curiosity, as if he was seeing a very strange sight.

Park Hyun-ah immediately told him what she wanted. It was a favor.

“Please let me officially participate in this incident.”

“yes?”

“I heard that Chief Ahn Ji-won is participating in the ‘Reserve Military Act Violation Case’ that you are paying attention to. I would also like to learn.”

Kang Hyun looked up at Park Yi Hyun with an innocent expression that seemed appropriate for his age.

At times like this, he’s definitely like a friend of the same age, but he’s so scary when it’s time to work.

‘…Why is there no answer? Is it not possible?’

Park Yi-hyeon swallowed hard with a nervous expression while waiting for Kang Hyeon’s answer.

He was the type of person who had no work-related wishes and who didn’t show it even if he wanted to do something.

It’s been a really long time since I’ve said something like this.

At that moment.

“Oh, really? Originally, Chief Ahn Ji-won and Inspector Baek were supposed to do it. Okay.”

Kang Hyun nodded as if it wasn’t that difficult.

At the answer that was so easy, Park Hyun-ah felt her body slump in embarrassment.

And my thoughts flowed slowly.

‘Is that okay? Can we work together now? If we stick together, we can open up and communicate more. Can that be possible?’

I thought it was slow, but it was a barrage of questions.

While this bombing tormented and tormented his mind.

“ah!”

Sadly, Kang Hyun experienced a somewhat unwanted adjustment from Park Yi Hyun’s perspective.

“Then, instead of Senior Prosecutor Ahn Ji-won, let’s have Prosecutor Park Lee-hyun take over this time. I ask for your help.”

“yes?”

“Please take your seats except for Chief Ahn Ji-won.”

“Yes? I, I’m in that place?”

“yes.”

Kang Hyun stood up and held out his hand, not knowing whether he knew Park Hyun’s feelings or not.

I wanted to ask, “Why?” but he wasn’t in that kind of mood and just gave me a look of resentment.

However, Kang Hyun seemed completely unaware of this, and continued to look at Park Yi Hyun’s face without holding out his hand.

“Ah. Hand.”

When he grabbed Kang-Hyeon’s hand in a bewildered manner, Kang-Hyeon, satisfied, patted his shoulder.

“Now go out.”

“yes?”

“I had something to do.”

Started pushing outwards.

“Finish your meal quickly, and bring Inspector Baek to the 5th Division Chief’s office for a meeting later. Okay?”

“Yes, okay. I understand.”

“i look forward to.”

‘Isn’t this it? Is this it?’

When he started acting strangely in front of Kang Hyun, as if his whole body was paralyzed, Kang Hyun tilted his head.

“Inspector? Go ahead and take a look.”

“Oh, yes!”

It’s that ambiguous feeling of going to the bathroom and coming out without wiping.

The moment Park Yi-hyeon barely turned around and crossed the threshold of the 5th division chief’s office, Kang Hyeon’s muttering suddenly struck his ears.

It was far away so I couldn’t hear it clearly, but it was definitely something like this.

-Of course, dating within the same department is absolutely not allowed, that’s for sure.

uh?

I had this weird feeling, but what could I do?

Park Hyun-ah, with slumped shoulders, headed to the computer to print out the summary of the system registration for the ‘Reserve Military Act Violation Case’ he had chosen.

* * *

[Attendance Request]

[Go Dan 300, violation of the Reserve Forces Act. Statement of Early Delay.

You are a reservist belonging to Reserve Company A, and reservists must not fail to receive reserve force training without a justifiable reason. The defendant received a summons notice to attend the 3rd joint military training conducted at the above-mentioned reserve force training center, but did not attend the training without a justifiable reason… .]

There was a man staring blankly at the court summons.

He stared at the request form for a long time, as if he couldn’t tell whether he was reading it or not, and then he did something unexpected with an annoyed expression on his face.

Crackling, crackling.

Jo Gi-jun, a skinny man with sunken eyes, tore up the court summons that had been sent to his room and lit a cigarette.

“What in this situation.”

Semi-basement one room room.

The floor was sticky, and inside the room, a foul smell emanated that I couldn’t tell if it was rotten squid or a person.

His skinny body, dressed in running gear, was covered in bruises, his face was haggard, and his eyes were dark.

“Phew… .”

Not knowing that ignoring or refusing to appear in a criminal case requested by the court on its own authority could result in a heavier sentence or arrest.

No, I don’t know, but I pretend not to care.

Jo Gi-jun focused on the burning paper.

As the paper burned and the flames died down, my gaze shifted.

cell phone.

I looked at the anonymous SNS chat message that came from someone with narrowed eyes as if it was several times more serious than a ‘summons from the court’.

There was a message. It was a single line message that had not been received for very long.

-Get out of Korea right now. If you don’t leave within a week, those guys will come and kill you.

At first glance, it seemed like a joke, but he showed a completely different attitude than before, with an expression on his face as if he was about to vomit.

It was real. They might kill themselves.

“This is fucking disgusting.”

Thud.

Is it a betrayal?

No. It wasn’t even worth calling it a betrayal. He and ‘them’ didn’t have enough of a bond to be able to call their actions a betrayal.

They were simply acting for self-interest and profit; they were acting to complete the picture they had drawn, he was acting for money.

I heard the news. The ‘head’ was being chased by the prosecution, and the organization started erasing its subordinates.

Of course, he was just a scheming idiot who couldn’t even be called inferior.

“Fuck, this isn’t right. I should be getting paid.”

He impulsively shoved his cell phone into his pocket and started to rush off somewhere.

To explain, to resist, to get money.

He couldn’t tell if his actions were based on accurate and rational judgment at the moment, but Jo Ki-jun started to move.

“Damn the world! The world won’t leave me alone.”

He gritted his teeth again and muttered softly.

But no one listened.

It was really miserable.

There was no one, including him, who thought this was miserable, and there never would be.

This is the world. It is a world where the saying, “If you feel wronged, just get out and die” immediately pops out.

A person who is just so worn out, both mentally and physically.

A person who is pitiful but no one tells him or her that he or she is pitiful.

In this busy world, would anyone listen to someone who is addicted to drugs and cannot live a normal life?

They are just struggling alone in the deeper sea.

“Phew.”

To come up to the surface for a moment and catch my breath.

To survive somehow.

He started to move, dragging his legs.

It was because I felt like I would drown in the water if I didn’t move my heavy feet and meet ‘that guy’ and do something.
