INSIDE MONSTER. THE FUGITIVE.

CHAPTER 9: CHASING GHOSTS!

The moment DooSan entered his office, Iun Min Hiok was changing his shirt. He was doing this each time he returned from a crime scene because he felt dirty and somehow asphyxiated after this, something he stopped feeling once he changed his clothes. Thus, rushing, he forgot to close the door, and when DooSan entered, Min Hiok jumped from his place, covering his naked chest.

Seeing DooSan in the doorway, squinting at him because he didn't expect to find Prosecutor Iun shirtless, Min Hiok showed him his fangs. „Did nobody ever teach you to knock on the door?" He growled at his friend. „And close that damn door at once until the entire Prosecution didn't see me shirtless!"

DooSan smiled. „You'll be doing a favor to all the girls in the office. Who knows?! Maybe you get married after this instead of acting like a young shameful girl." After that, happy that he could drive Min Hiok crazy, DooSan sat on the sofa.

Seeing DooSan so calm when he was barely breathing after the scare with the sudden open door, Min Hiok hissed something through his teeth while finishing buttoning his shirt. Then, putting the jacket on when he felt that he calmed down a little, Min Hiok asked the unwelcome guest, „Something to drink?"

„During the working hours?" DooSan asked him in amazement. „Only if you want the General Attorney to find out about this and kick us out of the Prosecution. Holding hands, by the way. Yet, I won't say no to another kind of „offer."

Min Hiok, thinking that DooSan was making fun of him after finding him shirtless when he entered the office nervously moved onto the couch on which he sat. Then, staring into his friend's eyes, he said through his teeth, „What I'll appreciate is to keep your spicy jokes only for you."

DooSan frowned. „Jokes? Do I look like I'm joking right now?"

„Yes, because I don't think you said „other kinds of offers" for nothing."

DooSan reproachfully shook his head. „I meant the case, Prosecutor Iun Min Hiok, not the striptease scene that I witnessed unwillingly. Not any case, by the way, but the one of YuSan."

„And this miracle?" Min Hiok ironically asked. „Aaa, wait, let me guess: you want to reopen Ian SolHi's case?"

Prosecutor Han forced a grin. „What have you been eating lately that you read between the lines? People?"

„Yeah, those like you. And, this joke is about you, by the way. I still remember the one who said that. Should I remind you too?"

„Not necessary. I don't have a short mind. Yet, I can't say the same about my time. So, tell me: can you or cannot you help me with this case?"

„Depends on what you ask for. And... what you expect me to do because I assure you that I'm not interested in wasting my time with a lost case."

„This is something you also don't believe, Iun Min Hiok. Why? Because I'm sure you gave me to listen to the record and see the DNA test for a plan you had in mind. Not only this: you also have more evidence than those I have seen already. So, will you tell me about this too or not?"

Min Hiok, as calm as usual, comfortably sat on the couch, staring into DooSan's eyes. Then, thoughtful, he said, „Let's say I have more evidence. Yet, I don't see how this can help me if I share it with others."

„Is he stupid or only pretending to be one?" DooSan thought, frowning. Then, squinting at prosecutor Iun, he asked, „What are you planning this time, Iun Min Hiok?"

„To wake you up, this is what I plan!" Min Hiok suddenly hissed through his teeth, angry. „Or what? Do you think I'm YuSan to fulfill all of your caprices? Of course not: I'm neither your brother nor your mistress."
