Of course I know. If you're curious, would you like me to tell you?
김여주
I'd appreciate it if you could tell me. It's about me, so there's no reason why I wouldn't like hearing it.
The judge came closer, step by step, and put his hand on my ear as if to whisper.
I thought he'd just say something like that, but I felt uneasy because I could only hear him inhaling, as if he was teasing me or something.
김여주
What are you doing? You're just joking around without saying a word.
He was so angry at the judge's prank that he slapped his raised hand and quickly left the place.
As if he didn't know I would leave, he quickly grabbed my hand as I was passing by and held it tightly as if he wasn't going to let go.
김여주
It hurts, so tell me about it.
김태형
..If you hadn't gone like that, there wouldn't have been anything to catch.
김여주
If you hadn't been joking in the first place, you wouldn't have gone.
김태형
I'm sorry, I was just joking. I'm going to do it for real now, Mal.
김여주
Don't joke around next time. I'm not that funny, so I can't take jokes.
김태형
I'm too scared to do it. There's a rumor that Yeoju is actually a witch who entered the court illegally, and another rumor that Yeoju said that we rely on the knowledge and abilities we gained from being fools when we were young.
To be honest, I was a little taken aback. Even if what he said was true, he didn't say it in such a provocative way.
Perhaps there are other rumors circulating besides what the judge said? Rumors tend to spread with increasing amounts of false information, so perhaps they've spread with even more provocative language.
김여주
There are more than I thought? I'm a little confused.
김태형
Anyway, rumors spread quickly, but they also die down quickly, so they will all be buried eventually.
To overcome these rumors, you'll need reliable and accurate information. How can you emerge victorious?
As I kept worrying, I gradually lost interest in the sounds around me and couldn't hear them.
김태형
..sir.
김태형
..Your Honor, Deputy Judge.
김여주
yes yes?
The judge turned to me, sighed, closed his eyes, slowly opened them, and opened his mouth.
김태형
The deputy judge has feelings and of course he can be interested in other things, but when you're working, you shouldn't be swayed by emotions.
김여주
...I'm sorry, but I wasn't caught up in the emotions.
김태형
It's your turn to bring the list of evidence. Have a nice day.
I hated people who couldn't control their emotions at work the most, but now that I'm that person, I realize it's not like me. Today, the road ahead feels long.
김여주
Please submit a list of evidence.
The inspector was staring up at me, as if glaring. Did he think I looked scary? Or did he think I was trembling in fear?
This was all I could think of while watching the inspection.
'So what do you want me to do?'
김여주
"Prosecutor, if you're glaring at me because of my rumors, you'd better stop. I'm telling you this before it becomes a dark chapter in your history, so listen carefully."
Perhaps embarrassed by my words, the prosecutor cleared his throat and returned to his seat while giving me the list of evidence.
Honestly, why are all the prosecutors so weird? Their personalities were so strange that it was hard to understand why they weren't given witches. Do prosecutors get selected without even considering their personalities?
김태형
Thank you for your hard work today. I'll take care of the rest today. Yeoju, please leave work early.
김여주
Oh, I was already thinking about going somewhere. Thanks. I'll go first.
