"If this is a trap, I'll kill you."
The jerk shrugs, "Yeah well," Closes the door behind us, "I never liked the whole 'lawyer' thing much, anyway."
~
When a thief and a lawyer cross paths, it's only a matter of time before the lawyer realizes that they're the real thief behind their next Hearing, proving their client to be innocent. So obviously, the lawyer turns in the thief, right?
Right.
Except, every time alarm bells go off in Mr. Johnson's rich little head, Nova's dimples disarm the entire system.
It's only a matter of time before the thief disarms *him*.

THE PRINCIPLE OF GOOD FAITH
Kwon Taekjoo - a ruthlessly ambitious lawyer - has never been the kind man he pretends to be. Winning cases for the rich and crushing the hopes of the poor is all he has ever known, alongside his unrelenting thirst for power, fame, and an endless stream of credit cards. Now, the deal of a lifetime dangles before him - but with a twist. He must work with his accomplice, Yevgeny Bogdanov, who has been openly and according to Taekjoo; disgustingly in love with him for years. And Yevgeny will only help Taekjoo if he agrees to go on thirty dates with him. Join the corrupt lawyer as he embarks on a twisted journey of redemption, romance, lies, and internal conflict - all while fighting for what he's always believed in: It's better to be corrupt in a Lamborghini than to be righteous on the street. But then again... whose beliefs ever went unchallenged? THE WRITER DOES NOT INTEND TO INFRINGE ANYONE'S BELIEFS, AND THE STORY IS A PRODUCT OF HER IMAGINATION, SO ANY REAL LIFE INCIDENCES AND PLACEC AND PEOPLE DESCRIBED IN THIS STORY IS ONLY USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENRICHING THIS SYTORY. HOWEVER, THE STORY HAS BEEN INSPIRED BY THE SHORT MANHWA NAMED, "GOOD FAITH" BY EEEJ. AND THE CHARACTERS ARE CREDITED TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS. DISCRETION IS HEAVILY ADVISED, FOR SOME DARK STUFF MAY FIND YOU HERE. MANXMAN MORALLY GREY CHARACTERS DEATH GORE HEAVILY EXPLICIT SCENES CODENAME ANASTASIA PASSION ROSES AND CHAMPAGNE ALSO!!! ALTHOUGH I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE TROPE OF CORRUPT LAWYER AND CHARMING (HE WASN'T IN THE LAST TWO CHAPTERS) CRIMINAL IN "GOOD FAITH", I ABSOLUTELY LOATHED THE TURN THOSE CHARACTERS TOOK. DIABOLICAL! HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT AN ATTEMPT OF ANY KIND TO REDO THE GOOD WORK(S) OF EEEJ.

Tell Me It's Forever
"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers. What happened next really surprised me. *** Liya Abrechtt, a popular girl at college, starting her career, straight A student, everyone loves her, her life is practically normal. Until it isn't.

Is she trying to play some kind of a game with me? Because it's working, she keeps surprising me and I couldn't hate her more right now. My hand reaches out to grab her face, my cool skin feels uncomfortable over her warm cheeks. She leans into my touch, green eyes fixed on mine.
