It wasn’t that Lee Jaehwan wouldn’t co-operate that made him challenging to deal with, it was the fact that he was entirely too energetic. He had volumes to say regarding every word in all of Hyeran’s sentences.

“Do you-“
“Yes, yes? I’d love to help, really, Hyeran-ssi, all of this court stuff is so fascinating and I’ve never even been on a jury, why is that? I’ve been of ages for so many years but it hasn’t come yet. I hear it’s boring but I’m sure it’d be really fun, especially if it was a big case! What do you need to know, Hyeran-ssi? I’ll tell you anything,” Jaehwan promised with enough enthusiasm to make the lawyer grow tired before she had even asked a complete question.

“…Remember if-“
“I have a fantastic memory Hyeran-ssi, I can even remember this one time when I was two year old…” Hyeran sat back in the chair she had been seated in and closed her eyes for a moment, feeling utterly defeated.
“Do you remember if you saw your neighbour Jung Taekwoon on the night of March the 1st, Jaehwan-ssi?” Hyeran interjected, not bothering what point the man was up to in his anecdote.

Chapter 14: So this certainly took me by surprise! Oh my. I must admit my concern is all over the place: from Hongbin's condition, to Hyeran's current state, to Taekwoon's advances rapidly reaching new heights. I can only assume he's behind this, and if he is--goodness! It's both haunting and yet compelling to see what happens next.
Glad I took some time to get updated with the story, and again, all the best with future updates!
