The Law I Have To Follow | PJM

Chapter 7

I saw a samgyeopsal near this street and figured out that he might want to eat there

"Mr. Park" I called out "do you like..."

"W-well...I...My goodness I think so" He seemed nervous "but that was a bit too straightforward. I'm so flustered" He looked at me

"But how did you know, how I felt?"

"Because that's how most people feel" I replied to his question

"How most people feel? You must be more popular than I thought" He said

"It's an easy choice, and it's fairly cheap"

"What?" He asked confused "it's cheap?"

"It's cheaper than beef" I said pointing at the store

"Wait a minute. Were you asking me if I like pork belly?"

"Yes. We came out to have dinner, so I wanted to choose a menu" I answered

"What were you thinking when you answered my question?" I asked him confused

"Ahh...W-well" He scratched his head feeling a little bit nervous "P-pork backbone stew. I thought you were asking me..." he pointed somewhere but there isn't one

I crossed my arms over my chest "From what I know, there aren't any pork backbone stew restaurants withing the radius of 1km"

"The let's eat samgyeopsal then. I like pork belly too"

when attorney park finished grilling the meats, he took a lot of them with chopsticks and put them on his plate and ate them one after another

"You must really like samgyeopsal" I told him

"Yes. I really like pork belly" He said emphasising 'really'

"You're really quick witted" He said

"Yes, I am. After I started working as an attorney, I started meeting another of people, so I've become really quick witted" I said and ate a piece of meat

"Attorney Lee, you never dated anyone, have you?"

"Why all of a sudden?"

"You don't seem to bright when it comes to men" He smiled

"Well, there are few men who tried to hit on me when I was still studying in law shool but I was just too busy to date someone" I answered and continued munching my food

"Then what about you? Do you know a lot about dating?" I asked looking at him

"Me? I don't know much about dating but I had flings when I was in college and when I entered law school" He replied and I just nodded

after eating we went home and our cars even went to the same building almost at the same time

"So have you thought a way out of the mess?" Ms.Yeon asked me "Last week, during the jury trial, the jury swayed over to the prosecution's side after hearing of the life insurance policy of 4.9 million dollars"

"I'm still thinking of a plan"

"If we don't win the trial for her with self defense, the public will heavily criticize our law firm" she worriedly said "people online and members of civic groups you know they're all on Ms. Im's side" then she looked at me

"I'm not burdening you l, so don't think of it that way. Still, if we lose a case that the entire nation is interested in, no one will want to hire us" she looked at me meaningfully

"I'm not pressuring you though, so don't think of it that way"

I sighed "if that's all, I'll get going" I stood up and was about to leave when she spoke again and
