[A few hours earlier]
Kyuri stares at the house with a frown. This lawyer is supposed to be the best one in the country. The person who made the arrangement is also the one who is handling the businesses. She can't make her presence known to them. She only told them on call that she needed a lawyer for the granddaughter of a friend. Mo Wei is supposed to be 75 years old. That person has seen her when Mo Wei was 'young'. It's better to indirectly make contact with that person unless she wants to kill him with a heart attack.
This lawyer is also famous. She heard about her before she got involved with Kang Si An. She takes a deep breath. She wants to resolve Jae Kyung problem as soon as possible. She rings the doorbell and waits.
A tall and slender man opens the door. He glimpses at her face coolly. "Miss Kwon, you are right on time."
She looks at the watch. She's five minutes late. She looks at him again. The man, who seems more like a boy, grins at her. "Come inside."
"Father." A young boy around 3 years old comes running to the man. "Sister took my toy."
"I did not." The girl is 5 years old. Kyuri notices that her features match the man. The young boy must look like the mother. "Father, that toy is mine. He won't play with his toy. He always wants what I have."
The man lets out an exasperated sigh. "Inha, you are the older sister. You must share the toys."
Inha pouts. "I want to be a younger sister."
"Being younger isn't that fun." Kyuri squats down in front of the little girl and pinches that girl's cheeks. "I am the younger one. I am speaking from the experience."
Ha-Neul squints her eyes at the woman in front of her. "Aunty, you must have annoyed your elder sibling a lot."
She huffs in anger and stomps toward her room. The boy follows right behind her to annoy his elder sister.
"I am sorry about that." The man laughs awkwardly. "She's different from other children."
"I understand. I also have a daughter." Kyuri smiles at him. "She's around your son's age."
The man only smiles. He turns his head when he hears the familiar footsteps. A beautiful woman in her mid-thirties comes out of the room. She walks straight toward Kyuri. "Miss Kwon, please follow me. I charge for minutes. You are already late. Don't waste time with strange men."
The man looks at Kyuri apologetically. Kyuri gives him a nod before following the lawyer to the office.
Lawyer Yoon sits down on the chair. Kyuri realizes that she's slightly nervous under this woman's penetrating gaze. She releases a breath before taking a seat in front of her.
"You are quite famous, Miss Kwon." Yoon Miran stares at the woman in front of her. Though Yoon Miran doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment news, Kwon Kyuri's name kept coming up due to the things that Kang Si An did. She didn't think that the woman would ever come to her. The connection between Kwon Kyuri and the owner of MW company is also a surprise. The owner is never been seen in public. If the owner follows the tradition this time too, then the ownership will definitely go to this woman in front of her.
"You too." Kyuri chuckles. "Who doesn't know about you? You are the best lawyer in the country."
Two years ago, Lawyer Yoon quit working at another firm and started to work as an independent lawyer. Despite that, she's quite in demand.
"Tell me about yourself."
Kyuri looks at the clock. "If I start, it will take all day. Though money is barely a problem, I don't want to bore you. You must have basic information about me. So, I will start with my problem. I have killed a man when he tried to force himself on me."
Yoon Miran smiles at her. She always likes straightforward ones who don't waste her time. "How did you kill him?"
"If I say that I have a special ability, will you believe me?" Kyuri leans forward. Her eyes shine wistfully. "I can travel in time. I can also destroy people's mind. I can walk into dreams. Would you believe me?"
"Life isn't a science fiction movie." Yoon Miran cocks her head and watches the woman's expression.
"I will give you a chance to prove your strange words. If you can't, please leave my office."
Kyuri stands up and takes slow steps toward her. She places her finger on Yoon Miran's forehead.
"I was right." She gazes at her solemnly. "One mind, two souls. Who is this man inside you? Kwak In-Sik? Strange. Where did I hear... "
Yoon Miran slaps the hand. She steps backwards, making a large distance between Kyuri and her. "You are..."
Kyuri has sensed that something was wrong with the woman when she saw her. The second soul didn't make any attempt to hide either. Embedded inside this woman's mind, the second person is living in harmony. The frequencies of the soul match as if they are one. If Kyuri hasn't been sure, she would have never revealed her ability to this woman.
"You are not the first person to have two souls in one body." Kyuri takes a seat and says in a lazy manner, "I knew someone else who was similar to you."
Kang Si An and the timekeeper.
"Stop talking nonsense." Yoon Miran composes herself. "I don't believe in -"
"I came here to get my problem solved. I don't have any interest in you or that person inside you." Kyuri smiles at her casually. "Let's finish the talk about Jae Kyung. My daughter is waiting for me at home."
Yoon Miran purses her lips, observing the woman in front of her.
'My dear, she won't hurt us.' In-Sik tells her, 'She is someone with secrets too.'
The voice inside her mind calms her down. Even if she can't trust her judgment, she trusts In-Sik's.
"I have studied your case." Yoon Miran sits down again and speaks with a solemn voice, "Jae Kyung had been accused of sexual misconducts in the past. The cause of his death is heart failure. Though there's a motive that you might have killed Jae Kyung in self-defence or rage, they didn't find any wound on his body. Tell me the details again. Don't leave anything out."
Kyuri reveals all the details including the text. She hasn't deleted the text yet. Young Hwa was also a victim, though it is his decision whether he wants to speak up about it or not.
"This is way easier now." Yoon Miran smiles after seeing the text. "I am sure that his past victims will also speak up after some persuasion."
"Great." Kyuri looks at the clock. "I have taken extra time. Lawyer Yoon, I will pay for the extra minutes. There's one thing that I want to tell you before I leave."
Yoon Miran raises her brow. "What is it?"
She stands up and tells her, "I don't mean you any harm. I hope that we can be friends in the future."
Yoon Miran curls her fingers inwardly when she hears those words. But, she doesn't dislike this woman. There's something about her frankness. Maybe it's because Kwon Kyuri is not an ordinary person. "Ms Kwon, bring your daughter next time after this case is resolved. My kids will love a new friend."
