9 | Step 2

Mae Hyo was great at compartmentalization, her work life, her personal life, her feelings, just everything.

In fact, it's quite frustrating to another person, how could one be so nonchalant, how could she not feel or show any emotion?

However, something was wrong, it was jeno.

Of course it was him, he's always the cause of something wrong for Mae Hyo.

That moment was still ringing in her head, "I hate you"

It sounded so breathy, so liberating for him. "i hate you"

It was so easy for him to say, more than four years and the man hadn't ever said I lov-

"Mae!"

Mae Hyo snapped out of her train of thoughts, "yeah Hyuck?"

"Court's adjourned for now, it's day after tomorrow"  Donghyuck said, bringing her things out so they could leave.

Mae Hyo nods, and just then Jeno and his interns passed them, and it just irritated Mae Hyo again.

"i cant believe you right now Bae Mae Hyo, why're you letting him get to you now?"  Mae Hyo thinks.

But that's Lee Jeno for you, the most obnoxious, self centered and most gorgeous bastard ever.

Back in Jigsaw, things were always moving, no moment of rest for anyone.

Total and complete work zone, so when Mae Hyo entered, she could practically feel the head ache coming in.

She entered her office with Jaemin and her interns and just put her head down, this was what happens when you allow someone to matter so much.

'seriously? after everything he did to you? everything he said to you?' 

"So Interns, today at court what do you think step one was?" Mae Hyo asks.

"Discredit the witness"

"exactly Kuan Lin"

"Chenle, explain what I did today?" Mae Hyo says, she just wanted to end the session and go back home.

"You discredited the witness by proving her colorblind, so her statement was thrown out"

Mae Hyo nods, "so lets move to the second step"

She gets up dusting her skirt, writing "Introduce a new suspect"

"now, as Ive written, we need to bring someone else into the narrative, to shake up the jury just. a little"

"who?" Bora asks.

"who, exactly"

"who?" Kuan Lin asks again.

Mae Hyo shrugs, " I dont know"

The three of them were confused, Mae Hyo didnt know?

"and that's why, you have tomorrow's full day and day after tomorrow till 7 AM" Mae Hyo says, writing down the date and time on the board.

"To do what?" Chenle asks.

"To get me a new suspect" Mae Hyo says, no, drops the bomb.

"What?!" Bora exclaims, as everyone shared the same expression.

Jaemin too had his brow raised, giving a look at Mae Hyo.

"There's a party, opposite Sera's office, talk to people, find out, do anything" Mae Hyo instructs, she pulls out her phone and sent the location of the party to Chenle only.
