*Let's skip to the sentencing of the plaintiff.*

__________________________________

".... I here by sentence Ms. Yen Geomhari to 7 years in prison for attempted murder."

Y/n looked at her client who's flabbergasted and on the verge of a break down. She feels her heart drop as she just lost her first case, and made an Innocent woman go to prison.

"YOUR HONOR PLEASE! I DIDN'T DO IT I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE.
I JUST WANT TO RAISE MY DAUGHTER!!"

The plaintiff was bawling on the floor as the guards came and got her to take her away.

Y/n's pov:

I've let down an Innocent woman who will be punished for someone else. I didn't even know I was crying until Bangchan, who was there as a senior attorney, asked me if I was ok.

I shook my head and just left. My vision was blurry with the tears in my eyes, this isn't about loosing the case it's about my client and her daughter.

What am I suppose to do now.. Her family is devastated. I didn't want to fall, so I sat on a chair and waited for my senior.

*

It's about 9:37 at the moment, I left my office and was heading out the door when someone called my name.

"Attorney Ahn!"

I bowed as he approached me.

"Can I help you attorney Kim?"

"Well... I just wanted to see if you are doing ok. I heard about the results of the trial, Jaesan really sounds heartless."

"Yeah.., but it's my fault anyway. There was many things I could've done that I'm thinking about now."

"It's okay attorney Gye. I'm sure you'll make him eat his words soon!" He smiled at me.

Seungmin's smile is so warm and so cute, he made me feel better.

"Thank you. Now if you excuse me, I'll be going now. I have dinner to attend, I'll see you Monday!"

"Okay! Bye, get home safe!"

I waved back at him as I left, I was about to step down but then I saw someone who I wouldn't think I would see here. It was Hyunjin, he gave flowers to a woman I know works here because she's someone Seungmin knows.

He spotted me and I looked away and start walking down the stairs. If I'm being honest I do feel a little jealous..

Whatever, he's a player anyway. How could he say that he's "interested" in me and then give other girls flowers.

I got into my car and started it, the same time I left he left as well.

We both arrived at my parents house the same time, ever since they told us we were going to get married to each other, we all ate together.

We both went into the kitchen at the same time, and they all seemed so joyful for some reason. I mean nothing is wrong with it but as soon as they see us their smile's got brighter.

"Did you two come toge-"

"No, we just somehow left the same place at the same time. Funny, I know right."

"Just sit and eat."

We were all eating and talking, well I didn't talk at all. They always talked about business and money, and sometimes they even talk about where their going to go for "retirement."

"So how was the case today Hyunjin? Did you win?"

I stopped chewing my food, all this while they were eating I was hating myself for not being able to help that poor woman...

"Well uh.., it went good. We did win."

"Oh, so that mean Y/n-"

I got up and left the table.

"Y/N. Get back here right now!"

I didn't even pay attention and kept walking, but then I felt a pull in my hair. What the fuck did my mom think she's doing.

"YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT."

"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM." I replied back at her and removed her hand from my hair.

"MY PROBLEM IS YOU LEAVING DINNER ALL THE TIME. DO YOU NOT LIKE HAVING A FAMILY DINNER OR SOMETHING?"

"I leave when I want..!"

"WELL THIS IS MY HOUSE AND YOU WILL OBEY ME UNDER MY ROOF."

Well.. She was right. I could afford my own house but with my father's health I didn't want to.

"I just don't want to talk about that case.."

"Then we won't. Now go back and sit."

"Mom I-"

"NOW."

"Yes Mother.."

And I did as she say.

*

Dinner was finished and I'm just sitting here with my head down thinking about what I could've done, while they talk about marriage.

Hyunjin didn't seem to even care. I knew he was looking at me from time to time but whatever I guess.

"Y/n."

"Yes.."

"You haven't spoke in a while."

"I'm sorry... I'm just tired. Can I just please go to my room."

"No. You'll stay until I saw you can go."

I'm so tired of this. I just want my father to get back to full health and I'll move out..

After that night I basically ignored Hyunjin everywhere.

He tried to talk to continuously but I ignored him every time.

"Y/n"

"What"

"Oh so now you think to answer me?"

"Aren't you satisfied I answered? Now what do you want? It must be important since you came all the way to Taegang."

"Actually-"

"HYUNNNN!!!"
Yura came running to him and kissed him on the lips.

I scuffed and left.. I had all the right to ignore him. Right...?
