"Well," Namjoon slumped back his executive seat after hearing Sana discuss about...well, everything.

Namjoon's office is well ventilated, he had floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the grand cityscapes and is just on the right floor to give them a view of the bright blue sky, yet Sana can't help but feel suffocated with how Namjoon thinned his lips and thinks. Is he about to say something bad? Tell things that Sana already knew, like how everything is so ridiculous and messed up. Suho is Namjoon's friend. In fact, he, Suho, and Sana goes along way back to college and had been friends ever since. So maybe—not that Sana wanted him or at least expecting him to pick sides—he'd side with Suho. Everybody does.

"You told me to be completely honest." Sana felt like she needed to remind him about what he said over the phone or else he would've gone for a completely different speech.

Namjoon gave her a knowing glance and a quick nod, "Yes, of course. I appreciate the honesty, it's just..." He trailed, looking for the right word to say.

"A lot to take in? Trust me, I know." Sana supplied, letting one long breath escapes through her nose.

"Well, you know...?" Sana stopped herself before she could remark and roll her eyes.

"You don't have to remind me. I know what I did, and I know how awful it was." She admitted, cringing at herself and had resorted to fiddling with her thumbs. What happened to 'not caring about what other people think'? Guess, it was thrown out the window...or not.

"I haven't been able to contact Suho or his lawyer after hearing from you so, I had no idea. I'm..."

"You don't have to pretend to sympathize with me about this divorce, because I know that you know to yourself that it's wrong." Sana bravely met his gaze. "And um, I know that admitting to it won't do me know no good. I don't expect it to justify what I did." And before she could add another word Namjoon beat her to it.

"I'm not trying to. Besides, I'm you lawyer. I don't have to disagree with what's right or wrong because whatever happens, I am on your side. I work for you, I'll always be." Sana pursed her lips and decided not to say that she knows that if he wasn't working for her, he'll be avoiding Sana like a viral plague, but thought about it again and how Namjoon wouldn't actually do it. "All I need to think about is how this divorce needs to be fair and square, and in, somewhat, in everyone's favor...especially yours."

Sana seized him up, and then coming into a conclusion that she'd let the subject go. "Like I said, I know what I did. I do regret it and wished that I could've done something much better than that. I'm not here to prove my innocence, because God knows I'm not. I'm here to...give Suho everything he deserves, fair and square." And in a somewhat moment of vulnerability that she doesn't want to admit, Sana added, "Please. I want my husband to be happy." Sana could hear the plea in her own voice.

Namjoon might've seen the exact moment Sana's eyes glistened because his gaze softened as if understanding and then he nodded solemnly. "Of course, as my client...and my friend." Sana lets out one shaky breath that Namjoon didn't notice. "With this, we need to discuss our next step. What you want and what you want to happen. Like you said, you want to give Suho what you think he deserves, right?" Sana nodded. "That can be our starter argument. And then after we discuss everything you want, I'll suggest you a plan and path we can take, then we must talk to the other party, and in this case Suho's, and discuss things both parties wanted, then come into a...a truce." Sana smiled gladly after realizing that Namjoon's explaining every law stuff to her in the easiest way possible.

"How long do you think our divorce process would take?"

"A bit long, it could take months, some even years, depends on the context. As for your situation, it could take at least three months, five months tops."
