How We Met

"Lisa"

Nayeon walks into her friend's officer with two files in hands.

Lisa lifts her eyes from the document she's currently reading to look at her friend for a moment and figures out that Nayeon has something important to discuss.

"Sit down"

She says, pushing the document to her side. "What did you find?"

"Lisa, I don't think we should continue with the case"

Nayeon issues her thought as she handles the files to Lisa. The Thai scans her face for a moment, looking for a sign of joke but finds none of it.

"Why out of sudden? We are halfway to win this case"

"Because this morning, I found this on my doorstep"

Nayeon pushes a neatly folded paper into Lisa's hand. The lawyer licks her lower lip before unfolding it.

A warning, written in poor writing and for fuck's sake; to add some sense of stupid drama; in red ink.

"Shut the case or you'll regret it"

"This is not valid, Nayeon" Lisa comments, crumpling the paper before tossing it into the waste paper basket. "You know that yourself"

"I know it's not valid but it's a fucking threat, Lisa. And last time you didn't fucking listen, you were shot with two fucking bullets and let me tell you, they were only inches away from lacerating your fucking heart"

"Nayeon, I don't have to be reminded of that"

"I think I have to. Sometimes you tend to get carried away and I don't appreciate that, Lisa"

"But I'm not dead, am I"

Lisa says casually as she grabs the document back and starts reading.

"Lisa, I don't think Chaeyoung will appreciate these threats if she ever got one"

"Don't" Lisa's eyes turn wild. "Even go there"

"Eventually, they'll get to her"

"I wouldn't allow that"

"Then stop the case"

"No" Lisa stands up.
