Foreword
"Miryo, tell me," Hyunsik purred as he gently traced the edge of her desk, "how many cases have you won ?"
The woman fidgeted under his steely gaze, fingers gliding over her keyboardd. She began a word document, reminding herself that her client was not all that frightening. All that mattered was the slaughtered corpses of the five high-profile CEO's found in a course of last week.
Her chocolate brown eyes darted to his face, before narrowing.
"Mr. Jung , I am here to defend your innocence beyond a reasonable doubt." At his raising brow, she continued her professional rant, "Any past cases, "win" or "lose" as you call them, are irrelevant as far as this is concerned. Now please, where were you on June 21, 2016 ?"
"Have you ever lost a case, Miss Red ?" he inquired, gray depths piercing through her dispassionate air, "I mean, I would be too shocked. You are easily dubbed the most successful lawyer this past decade, a lot of people are after you."
He strolled over to a chair on her right, seating himself perfectly and attention directed. The lawyer felt her hair rise at his popular comment, before reminding herself that this punk will be out of life soon enough.
"Your family must be very proud," he resumed, tone tinged with mock, "to see their little Miryo dolled up in a clean suit and--"
"Mr. Jung," The Red interrupted, body bristling at his sudden ramble, "I am here to make sure you don't rot in prison. However, losing this case isn't out of question, either."
The brunette's threat was obvious and focused, Hyunsik noted as an amused grin graced his chiseled face. He caught her delicate hand, grip firm and intention blatant.
"Such a proud family you must have," the actor prattled in a frigid hiss, before startled black skies collided with storms, "it would be a tragedy if you followed those shameful men, don't you think ?"
Oxygen no longer entered her nostrils, the glaciar tension suffocating. Ice trickled down her stiff spine; but it burned.
"That bastard has framed me," he laughed bitterly as he let go of her hand, "But he forgot I have evidence against him."
"Who is the man ?" Miss Red leaned forward, finally gaining interest in the man's ramble.
"Black Pearl's leader, Byun Baekhyun." Hyunsik raved as he leaned back into his wooden chair.
