??? : Senior? Judging from our history, it should be Seongsaeng-nim, you punk.
The older man emphasized the correct address—Seonsaengnim—a higher form of respect than just a senior. It reigned seniority both by age, experience and relationship in the Korean culture and language. In their case, the advocates shared a blood relationship as well.
AT. WANG : (-chuckles-) How have you been, Wang Jun Ho 'Seongsaeng-nim'? (-takes a seat-)
LY. JUN HO : Now that's better. I am perfect, you tell me. And why is it so hard to see you nowadays?
Attorney Wang reposed, apprehending a long due conversation. Might as well feel at ease, he thought.
AT. WANG : Ah, sorry about that, Uncle Jun Ho. I was quite occupied with the current case.
LY. JUN HO : (-to the counter-) Excuse me, one more coffee here please!
His Uncle looked at him while sipping his drink, well acquainted with his nephew's preferences. He continued right after.
LY. JUN HO : Don't be so hard on yourself, Deok gu-ya.
AT. WANG : (-smiles-) You too never rested before, did you?
It was this Uncle of his who inspired little Deok Gu‐ to one day‐ become a remarkable attorney that people could trust their justice with. Hence, the present.
LY. JUN HO : Right, I do regret showing my cool side to you, then. Everyone blames me for mentoring a reformist in the family.
The younger attorney was tickled to a grin at the sutble mocking frustration of his Uncle.
AT. WANG : (-settles-) Anyway, how's everyone else at home? (-receives his coffee-) Thank you.
LY. JUN HO : Why ask me? You should check on them yourself, if you care to know.
AT. WANG : Ay, you know how it is with complicated cases; you barely catch a breath. I do call though. (-takes a sip-)
LY. JUN HO : Cut it out. Calling and visiting your parents—are they the same thing?
Attorney Wang did not word against his undeniable point. With a wistful smile across his face, he rubbed the handle of his cup, an unconscious habit of his.
LY. JUN HO : By the way, what is it this time? What's the story?
He, taking another sip, briefed his Uncle around the case. The attorney added how he was struggling with Chae Ri's search by the end.
AT. WANG : Everytime, I feel like giving him false hope. It's like, you can see through the lies but you are so helpless that you can't really do anything to prove it.
Lawyer Jun Ho's affectionate eyes glimmered, observing his little nephew. The cadence, the manner in which he articulated so passionately about a case mirrored his passion. He saw himself in attorney Wang.
LY. JUN HO : Well... it is always like that. Lies are easier to buy. Truths often come expensive.
AT. WANG : (-upset-) I don't know how to win this against Kim Seong's entire army of frauds.
A subtle crease of doubt formed in the older's conscious at the mention of the name.
LY. JUN HO : Wait, hold on. Are we talking the CEO of SK Entertainment—Kim Seong?
