A few days after the conversation he had with Min Hiok, DooSan decided that it was time to do something to help SolHi and find out the truth about his brother's death. Yet, he didn't know exactly what he should have done to discover the truth. He felt that he had to do something related to YuSan and the complicated case this one was investigating before his death. That's why, one evening when he was alone with SuJin in the office, he told the young man, „I need your help!"

„What kind of help?" SuJin asked, confused.

DooSan didn't answer right away, although he also didn't know why he did that. Then, he took a photo of So Ari, which he kept in one of his desk drawers, and gave it to SuJin. „I need to find out things about her."

„And she is?"

„Nobody. What's important is to find out everything you can about her."

„Obvious," murmured SuJin, frowning. „Even so, I have to know at least something about her to know where to start from. Or... you don't know anything about her?"

DooSan showed his fangs to the young man. „Who the hell do you think I am? Of course, I know who she is. Yet, I can't tell you!"

„The reason?" SuJin innocently asked, outlining each word. Then, suddenly, that he managed to make even DooSan wince, he widely opened his eyes when he shouted, infuriated, „A new girlfriend?"

„Have you lost your mind?" DooSan growled. „Of course not! Or what, do you think I can do something like that?"

„Once Nuna isn't around and you are a free man..." Yet, SuJin kept silent, seeing DooSan glaring at him. Poor guy even nervously moved in his place, cooking his nose because even though he knew that DooSan was a free man, he still disliked knowing that he could be with another woman and not with SolHi. SuJin also felt that the woman from the photo had something to do with SolHi, which could have also helped him find out what Han DooSan was planning. That's why he told himself eventually, „Even if I'm right and this one cheats on Nuna, I'll still find out things about this new girlfriend. I'll also find out what kind of woman she is. And... when I find this out..." SuJin hissed all this through his teeth. Even his eyes sparkled when he said those words because „She has dirty laundry to wash in public for sure, laundry that might have something to do with you, Prosecutor Han. So, be careful because, once I find out your secrets, I swear I'll tell everybody about them."

„Your problem!" DooSan replied, smiling. The prosecutor's calmness made SuJin attentive.

„Why exactly?" The young man asked. „Aaa, is she only a bird you have admired once and are trying to get rid of?"

„If I had had something to do with her, I would have asked you to get rid of her. Thus, you would have been behind bars now and not planning how to break my neck. Anyway, I see you are lucky in this life because, even if you had liked to get rid of her, others did that in your place already. So, Yu SuJin, find out all you can about her and about those who could have killed her too. Who knows?! You might be lucky to get rid of me too."

„Nea, I'm not that lucky," growled SuJin. Then he frowned, seeing DooSan intending to leave. „Which way?"

„To have dinner?!" DooSan answered, laughing. „You are the one who said that I'm a free man, right? Thus, having dinner alone, I might be lucky to hunt a young deer tonight and give you the chance to take revenge on me for your „beautiful Nuna" too."

Feeling that DooSan was mocking him, SuJin squeezed his fists. He was damn eager to twist DooSan's neck at that moment and get revenge for all those times he had felt jealous of him. Even so, understanding that he wasn't that lucky to have this anyway, SuJin contented himself with only throwing the wooden cube he had on the desk toward the door, which the cube hit eventually, right after DooSan closed it behind him. SuJin didn't go to pick up that cube after this, but put his headphones on and started working because what DooSan said about that beautiful young woman with dark hair intrigued him, whose photo he still had on his desk.
