Dear Lawyer | Jikook ff

13 - Evidence (iv)

It was already seven in the evening by the time they finished skimming through the video recordings.

With Julian Gorge's authentication, Jimin and Jungkook obtained all of the video files as evidence, made copies for them to keep, and followed procedure to submit the new evidence.

Ordinary people would dine together after finishing business at this hour. However, Julian Gorge was a notary. By the current alliance rules, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to dine together.

This was also tacitly understood between them.

"Alright. Then I'll go back first," Julian bid farewell to them both and left.

"Are you hungry yet?" Jimin took a look at the time. He swept his gaze down Two Moon Street, seeing what there was to eat.

Jungkook glanced over at him. "Not hungry."

Jimin tsked. "Your stomach has probably gone numb from hunger. What shall we eat?"

Jungkook, "..."

While they talked, Jimin noticed that Rosie Dale, with a hand clinging onto the hem of his coat, was looking not too far off.

"What are you looking at?" Jimin bent down and asked her.

Rosie hid behind him. She tilted her head up and shot a bashful smile at him, murmuring, "I know him."

As she said this, she pointed her finger in a particular direction.

"What did she say?"

Jimin heard Jungkook ask him this as soon as he straightened back up.

His voice was very deep; hearing this low-pitched voice suddenly speak close to his ears made his ears tingle.

Jimin turned his head away imperceptibly, then lifted his chin in the direction Rosie pointed at. "Nothing much. She said she saw someone that she knew."

At the turn-in to Two Moon Street that connected to a run-down alley, a taxi was stopped on the side and two people were chatting by the door. One of them was a slightly stout middle-aged man, with one hand put against the car door as if he'd just come out of the driver's seat.

The other man was a person they all knew—Fix, the taxi driver who had driven Rosie to the hospital that day.

This scene looked very familiar.

Jimin suddenly recalled that when he came to Two Moon Street on the first day, the unlicensed taxi that had sent him over had dropped him off over there, then made a call to someone to take over the shift.

Only, he never thought that there would be such coincidences. The person he had contacted was Fix?

Jimin glanced at the car plate: EM1033.

It looked just as familiar. His guess shouldn't have been too far off.

However, while there wasn't anything noteworthy about the tone the taxi driver had when contacting Fix previously, both of them now looked rather disgruntled.

There wasn't any need for them to make their greetings in this type of atmosphere, let alone that neither Jungkook nor he was that extroverted. So they simply glanced over, taking Rosie to walk in the opposite direction.

As per the rules at Southcross Law Firm, when a lawyer brought his intern along on a business trip for a court case, meals and board were fully covered. Of course, anyone that an intern insisted on treating wasn't included in this coverage.

However, the exact phrasing of this rule was 'three meals a day'. For Jimin who needed five meals a day, the more stingy lawyers would feel hard-pressed to accommodate.
