Y/N sighs while sitting on the chair in front of Jake at a fancy restaurant.
"Well, this is very glamorous Jake..." she says before starting to read the menu and gasps, "But it's really expensive!"
"I mean, I wouldn't be taking you to a place like McDonalds for your birthday now would I? Besides, it's a treat so why wouldn't I bring you to somewhere expensive?" he says while chuckling and picks up the menu.
She chuckles before looking at him with a smile. "By the way, don't you think it's a bit odd that Mr. Kim did the hit-and-run just for money? I mean, he could've just gotten a loan-"
"Can we not talk about that right now? It's getting my brain all roasted-" he replies before getting interrupted by his phone ringing and internally groans in annoyance.
"One second, I'll take this call." Jake then stands up before walking off to a secluded place.
"What is it Ethan? You called me at the wrong-" he said while looking around impatiently.
"I think Johnny is on the way to the police station to expose you sir, what should I do?" Ethan replied frantically while following the car in front of him.
"Shit- make him follow you to a secluded area, I'll be there in five." he said before ending the call and quickly comes back to the table and grabs his coat and stuff.
"Jake, where are you going? What's going on?" Y/N asked, confusion visible on her face.
"I'm sorry, I need to be somewhere urgent...but I'll be back in about 20 minutes okay? See you." he responded in a hurry before leaving.

The screech of the wheels of a car could be heard from a mile away, continued with the slamming of car doors and a large creak of metal doors being opened.
"Search the area for Johnny and tie him up in the chair!" Ethan yelled out to the others, who then started to search the place.
"No sign of him Ethan..." one of them said before hearing groans from a corner of the room, before turning around to see Johnny pinned to the wall and getting punched in the face.
"You...crazy...bastard..." he yells out while pinning him to the wall by grabbing his collar. "Do you seriously want me to get fired?!"
"A-actually, you're the bastard...Sim Jake. Do you really think I'll be able to keep your secrets to myself?" Johnny replied with laughter, followed by a smirk.
"Oh? And are you really going to blab it to the police? I'm a high-status lawyer, do you really believe they're going to be convinced by your claim?" he replied before glancing down at the knife in Johnny's hand and chuckled.
"You do realise you would be tried in court for attempted murder right?" Jake said, indicating to the knife. "About 25 years let's say?" he says with a smirk before grabbing the knife with his hand and stares at him deadly.
"I wouldn't dream of it, since I'm the innocent one Mr. Sim~ if you don't want me to expose you, then turn yourself in. I got a video of you killing your friend's husband."
Jake froze for a moment before replying,
"Yah, that wasn't me, that was Wonbin. How about we make a deal: if you toggle around with the evidence and turn yourself in instead, I'll make Jay promote you, and I'll pay you weekly to pay off your debt to me." he mumbles in his ear, persuasion laced in his voice.
Johnny thought for a moment before nodding.
"Deal."

After a while, Jake arrives back to the restaurant as if nothing has happened.
"Sorry for taking so long, something important came up..." he sat back down on the chair opposite Y/N and sighs.
"It's alright...wait- what happened to your hand, where did you-" Y/N says in a worried tone, concern etched on her face.
"It's fine, it's nothing. I just cut myself somewhere." Jake replied as if it was just a minor cut before putting a tissue over it to cover it up.
Y/N stood up before grabbing his hand and examined it closely.
"Are you crazy? It's deep...but not too deep that you would have to go to the hospital." she says before quickly going over to grab her stuff and drags him out of the restaurant with her.
"Where are we going Y/N?"
"My house. I can't leave your hand like that..." she says before walking home since the restaurant wasn't that far.
"Come on it's fine, it's nothing." he retorts before getting stopped in his tracks.
"It's not nothing. It could've been serious."

Jake winces while feeling the disinfectant burn the cut on his hand and tries to pull it out of her grip.
"Stop...it hurts."
"Are you a crybaby? It's your fault for suddenly getting a random deep cut. Where did you go?" she interrogated him before continuing to dab at his hand gently.
"Nowhere special..ow...I just cut myself with a knife while opening some boxes." he replied, trying to not make it sound like a lie.
"Hm...and it made a big cut like this? Just be careful next time." Y/N said after wrapping a bandage around his hand.
Suddenly, her phone started ringing before reaching over to it and answers it.
"Yes Jay? What is it?"
"Check the news Y/N, a suspect just turned himself in as the criminal who did that hit-and-run this morning. Come to the office, you're doing this case."
