Laughing Under Oath
In a city where justice is negotiable and courtroom chaos is just Tuesday, one girl with red heels and a law degree she never finished is forced into becoming a lawyer.
Ah-ri is loud, reckless, broke-but-not-broke, and dead set on proving every criminal is trash - even if she's working with loan sharks to pay her rent. When she's thrown into the same courtroom as Jang Seon-woo - a dangerously charming genius who defends criminals for fun - all hell breaks loose.
She believes in justice.
He believes in jokes and manipulation.
Together, they're the messiest team the legal system has ever seen.
Get ready for a wild ride full of fights, flirtation, fist-throwing besties, and court cases that shouldn't exist.
Who wins when chaos takes the stand?

However, she was unaware that Hye-Rin was her biological mother and that Hye-Rin was acting as a puppet in this entire scenario.

And when she walked into Byeoksan High, hair loose, eyes calm, the ghost of a smirk daring anyone to speak first- Si-eun's breath caught in his throat. That wasn't the girl he remembered. Not the soft, laughing shadow of his childhood. Not the clingy voice who once promised to stay forever. And Si-eun-who thought he'd buried every trace of her- felt his carefully built world crack, right down the middle. She wasn't supposed to come back. Not now. Not when he'd finally taught himself to stop needing anyone. But Aerin never plays fair. And this time? She's not the one falling. ✨ Add to Library ✨ Comment your chaos ✨ Keep your heart close.
