Warning: slight mention of insomnia and PTSD.
Y/N knocks on the door and quickly adjusts her blazer before hearing a 'come in' from Jay and steps inside.
Jay was like your typical boss: tall, handsome, neatly suited up outfit with his hair brushed up and sleeves to his elbows. Anyone could've swoon for him. As he sees the door open, he glances at Y/N and smiles,
"Ah, you're here. I knew you would come as soon as I called you Prosecutor Y/N~" he says in a friendly way before standing up and gestures to the sofa. "Come, have a seat."
Y/N chuckles before going over to sit down.
"Thanks Jay. So, who confessed? Who did the hit-and-run this morning?" she asked while drinking some water.
Jay cleared his throat and sat down, an uneasy look on his face.
"Do you remember the double homicide case back in 2013 and then the drug induced driving in 2019? The one by Johnny Martinez?"
Y/N almost choked on her water and widens her eyes.
"J-Johnny- you being serious? He just got out of prison a few years ago-" she replied before quickly scrambling for the documents and looked through the information.
"Yes, that Johnny. He was well behaved in prison...I wonder why he suddenly did a hit-and-run. Anyway, the evidence seemed very clear that he did it. However, there's something a bit fishy...the car registration number doesn't match with the name."
Y/N looks at the picture of the car, and then back at the document.
"Don't worry Jay, I'll be adding this to the case. But since Jake is a lawyer, could he interrogate him tomorrow? I got an appointment with my therapist."
"With Gyuvin? Yeah, that's fine, just let Jake know." he replied.

"Gyuvin~ it's been a while~" Y/N smiles while walking into the room and hugs him.
"Y/N~ how have you been? How's work going?" He asks while sitting down and pulls up her medical records.
"Tiring, long, stressful to the point that I think I'm gonna get bald...how's mum doing?"
"She's doing good, just that she misses you. Anyway, how's your...insomnia and PTSD..?"
"Not that good...? I don't know, I need more medication, can you prescribe me some?"
"Sure," he said before starting to type on the computer and stands up to get the medications.
"I hope I can visit you and mum one day...work is hectic. Oh yeah, have you heard about the hit-and-run case? Apparently the convict is Johnny Martinez, not Kim Seongkyu."
"What- you mean that guy who did the double homicide and drug induced driving?" he said in shock while passing the medications to her.
"Mhm, Jake is doing the interrogation...I wonder how it's going."
"I bet its going fine."

Johnny just grumbled in his seat, mumbling incoherent words to himself before hearing the door open and sees Jake walk in with a pile of documents on top of his laptop before sitting down and sighs.
"Johnny Martinez. We meet again I see," Jake says while opening the laptop and glances at him in a way to keep his mouth shut from the threat before clearing his throat.
"So, you're confessing that you did the hit-and-run case that happened a few days ago instead of Mr. Kim?" he says while pulling out some pictures and CCTV footages.
"Yes, it was me...so what?" Johnny says while relaxing back on his chair as if it wasn't a big deal.
"Then, can you explain to me why the car registration number doesn't match with your documents?"
Johnny sighs before replying,
"I borrowed a friend's car, and he had insurance so I was able to use it."
"So, just because you borrowed your friend's car, you decided to do a hit-and-run and caused a murder? You do realise that you could go to prison for up to five years according to Article 5, Section 3 of the Act of Aggravated Punishment? Maybe even more depending on other crimes we might find on you..." Jake says while raising an eyebrow at him.
Johnny sighs, annoyance evident on his face.
"Oh really? What if I tell you that I also killed Y/N's father a few years ago?" he says with a teasing grin on his face.
Jake suddenly tenses up, before glaring at him and then turns around towards the mirrors.
"Can you stop recording for a second?"
He then turns back to Johnny with a deathly stare.
"You idiot, don't mention a word about that here. Anyone could eavesdrop and I would be indicted from my job." Jake mumbles, irritation clearly shown in his tone of voice.
Johnny then chuckled before leaning close to him and whispers in his ear.
"I still have the knife you used hidden somewhere with your DNA on it. If you want to get away with it, then give me a less harsh sentence. I'm clearly innocent."
Jake then looked at him in disbelief before hitting his fist on the table pissed off and sighs.
"That wasn't me stop making up lies. But fine. I'll see what I can do."
