Areum returned from the weekend getaway feeling more relaxed but her heart still ached with the unresolved tension between her and Scoups.
She hoped they could work things out, but uncertainty bothers her.
As she unlocked her apartment door and stepped inside, she was surprised to see him sitting on her couch, waiting for her.
"Seungcheol?" she said, startled but relieved.
He stood up and hugged her "Hey, baby. I hope you don't mind. I let myself in. Kitae told me when you were arriving"
She shook her head. "No, it's fine. I'm glad you're here. I wanna talk to you"
He kissed her forehead. "I missed you," he admitted, his voice soft. "I've been thinking a lot about what happened."
Areum nodded, feeling the tension dissolve slightly. "Me too. I'm sorry for overreacting. I know you were just worried about me."
"And I'm sorry if I made you feel like I didn't trust you," he replied, taking her hands in his. "I do trust you, Areum. I just... I worry because I love you."
"I love you too."
He gently pulled her into him, resting his chin on top of her head. "I never want to make you feel like you're not capable. You're amazing at what you do."
Areum pulled back slightly to look up at him.
"Can we just promise not to mad at each other again?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly " I hate it"
"Absolutely," he said, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "I hated it too"
She smiled, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders.
The next day, Areum had the trial she most wanted. She wants this case past her.
She's in a sharp, tailored suit, exuded confidence and determination.
This case had been one of the most challenging of her career, and she knew the stakes were high.
As the trial began, Areum could feel the eyes of everyone in the room on her. To that she was already use to it.
The defense tried to poke holes in her case, but Areum was prepared for every thing.
As the time passed, Scoups, who had taken a day off from his busy schedule to be there her, watched from the back of the courtroom.
He was as trying to be discreet as possible, with his hat.
He was in awe of her professionalism and skill, feeling proud of her.
Finally, the moment of truth arrived. The jury took some time but now they're ready.
"We, the jury, find the defendant guilty on all counts."
