TTS Vol 1 Ch 4.1

Prosecutor Park Chigyeong’s office had an unusual atmosphere.

It wasn’t just because it was the day of the witness interview regarding the corruption case of the chairman of Samjung Construction, one of Korea’s leading companies. The staff in the prosecutor’s office unanimously agreed it was because Prosecutor Park Chigyeong himself was acting differently than usual.

The investigation, which continued to unravel like a tangled thread, eventually led to the chairman’s mistress being seated before him. The witness, appearing to be in her late 30s, had initially entered the office with a tense expression. However, due to Park Chigyeong’s special treatment, her posture gradually relaxed.

Park Chigyeong’s special treatment: “Don’t think of this as an investigation. Just relax and take a break.”

“I hear you’re Assemblyman Park Sangheon’s eldest son, Prosecutor? I saw you once at a golf gathering with our chairman. It was a couples’ event. Mind if I light one up?”

The witness, no longer acting like one, smirked as she brazenly lit a cigarette right in front of the prosecutor. Far from stopping her, Park Chigyeong even stopped an investigator who was about to mention the no-smoking rule and pulled out a lighter from the top drawer of his desk. The witness reached out to take it, but Park Chigyeong flicked it open himself, tang tang, and leaned towards her to light her cigarette.

“My, my, Prosecutor. I thought you were just handsome, but you’ve got the moves too. Thanks~”

The witness, her gaze heated, scanned him as he personally lit her cigarette, leaning further towards him. Because she had deliberately worn a low-cut top even to the prosecutor’s office, her cleavage was on full display as she spoke.

“You must have a girlfriend, right, Prosecutor?”

Park Chigyeong simply smiled without answering and placed the lighter back on the desk.

“Be honest with me, Prosecutor. You see seven different women a week, don’t you? Monday with this one, Tuesday with that one, Wednesday with another… You’re not ‘eating’ a different one each day of the week, are you?”

Despite the witness’s suggestive joke, Chigyeong only smiled and replied, “No.” 

Hmm, she hummed, her eyes raking over him with a sticky gaze as she deliberately made a loud sucking sound as she took a drag on her cigarette.

“That’s so unexpected, Prosecutor. Are you more innocent than you look? I guess I’ll have to set you up with someone. What’s your type? How about someone like me? Do you like me?”

“I doubt there’s a man who wouldn’t like you.”

“Oh my, what’s this? You’re not so innocent after all.”

Leaning back, the witness exhaled a plume of smoke and laughed. The investigators in the prosecutor’s office, typing away, repeatedly tilted their heads in bewilderment.

“Ah, can I get a cup of coffee?”

The witness turned around and asked the youngest-looking female clerk for coffee. The office staff were speechless at her continuous outlandish behavior, but Park Chigyeong remained unfazed.

In fact, as if they were in a competition to see who could act more out of the ordinary, Park Chigyeong took off his suit jacket, stood up, and assumed a golf stance in the space beside his desk.

The witness, her eyes devouring Park Chigyeong as he smoothly took a backswing, ran her tongue over her lips, and swung her crossed leg.

“You seemed to be good at playing golf, Prosecutor. Nice form~”

“Just the form. I’m not unathletic, but for some reason, I just can’t seem to improve at golf.”

“Let’s go out on the course sometime, Prosecutor. I’ll take good care of you.”

“Do you know any good places?”

“I run a golf course. Don’t feel pressured, just come and relax. Do you think I can’t handle a guest like you?”

“I didn’t realize I was in the presence of such a wealthy person. If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the name of the golf course?”

“Condor, Prosecutor.”

“Ah, owned by Samjung Construction.”

As Park Chigyeong mimicked swinging his club and hitting the ball, the witness clapped twice, saying, “Nice shot!” Park Chigyeong immediately resumed his stance.

“I hear the membership in that place is quite expensive. I believe the annual fee is over 300 million won¹. Someone on a government salary can’t just casually visit such a place. I’d lose my job.”

“Oh my! Our Prosecutor is so naive at times! You really don’t know the first thing about this, do you? Do you think we’d take money from someone like you?”

“How do you maintain such a large property without accepting money?”

“The subcontractors buy the memberships, and people like you, Prosecutor, just need to show up and enjoy yourselves. You help us so much, and we can’t even do this much for you? We’ll bring you in through a secret entrance, so don’t worry about being recognized.”

“What did those subcontractors do to deserve that? They’re forced to pay for expensive memberships and not even being able to play themselves.”

“Come on, Prosecutor. We give them work in return. They make a fortune thanks to us. It’s worth the 300 million won investment per year, that’s why they buy them without complaint.”

“If they buy just 40 memberships, that’s a huge sum. You must be making at least 12 billion won² a year.

“40? Prosecutor, we’re Samjung. We operate on a different scale.”

I wonder why I’m even going through all this trouble.

At Chigyeong’s effortless swing, the witness clapped again, saying, “Good shot!”

“Your chairman is more generous than I thought. Handing over the goose that lays the golden eggs to his wife.”

“His… wife? Me?”

Park Chigyeong’s natural use of the word “wife” softened the witness’s heart even more. He had just casually given her a title that she, as the mistress, could never possess.

Acting as if she were actually the chairman’s wife, the mistress puffed out her chest and pretended to be knowledgeable.

“Well, yes. Managing this kind of money discreetly is not easy to manage. You can’t trust just anyone with it. The chairman entrusted it all to me because he trusted me. Now that the chairman trusts and relies on me, I manage the golf course without a hitch and entertain important guests. You know, the usual ‘naejo³’… supporting him. I support the chairman by his side.”

If there ever was a runaway horse, it would be this witness. She readily spilled information that hadn’t even been asked, as if it were laughter.

From the politicians who frequented the course to the details about how subcontractors covered the operating costs. The witness chatted excitedly for about ten minutes, ashing her cigarette into her nearly empty coffee cup.

Chigyeong, who had sat down again at his desk, opened his glasses case and took out his glasses.

“Prosecutor. Let’s stop with these boring stories and have dinner together tonight, what do you say?”

Crossing her legs the other way, the witness leaned closer to Park Chigyeong, flaunting her cleavage again. Park Chigyeong, now wearing his glasses, interlocked his fingers and leaned closer to his desk.

The distance between them narrowed considerably, and the witness looked up at Park Chigyeong with seductive eyes. After catering to the whims of an old chairman for a long time, she seemed eager to finally be in the presence of a competent and handsome young man.

“Ms. Kang Jihye.” 

“Yes, Prosecutor.”

The witness blushed unbecomingly, and Park Chigyeong, a charming smile playing on his face, said,

“We call that slush fund.”

“Huh?”

Park Chigyeong suddenly leaned back, a pen gripped in his hand, his tone turning to a businesslike one, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor.

The witness, still not fully grasping the situation, just stared with wide eyes. 

Park Chigyeong fixed a cold, humorless gaze on her face and commanded sternly,

“Sit up straight. Put out your cigarette.”

He looked away from the witness’s bewildered face and clicked his pen, bringing the tip down onto the pristine white paper.

“Let’s begin the investigation. You mentioned memberships earlier. Do you only accept cash?”

His eyes, scanning her personal information, were calm, and his tone was both firm and frigid.

Oh, the staff in the prosecutor’s office finally let out silent sighs of admiration.

The owner of the gambling hall returned from China.

The owner, in his late 30s, was a massive figure, weighing over 90kg, and his height further amplified his intimidating presence. While someone like Park Chigyeong might subdue opponents with skill, the owner was the type to rely solely on brute force and his size.

“Hey, Taeri, what are you doing? I told you to wipe that down too.”

The owner, playing a mobile game, vaguely gestured with his foot. Taeri, clenching her jaw, forced herself to relax and replied obediently, “Yes.”

“Hey. Can’t you see the dust there? Scrub it, scrub it hard! Put some strength into it! Don’t you have any strength in your hands?”

Even though the owner was the biggest pain in the gambling hall, Taeri continued to work there for two reasons: the tips from the actual customers were decent, and the owner didn’t spend much time in the gambling hall.

Besides, Taeri planned to leave as soon as she saved enough money. She couldn’t work night shifts forever.

The owner leered at Taeri’s backside as she diligently wiped down the machines with a rag, then went back to his game.

“Why do you always wear pants? If I were you, I’d be wearing skirts every day.”

“Pants are more comfortable.”

“You have a nice bust, why do you always wear baggy hoodies?”

“It’s my choice.”

Taeri hated being alone with the owner. She could feel his lecherous gaze clinging to her body.

It was somewhat bearable when Yijoon was around, but Yijoon wasn’t at the gambling hall today because the owner had unexpectedly given him the day off. Even that disgusted Taeri. It felt like the owner had deliberately sent Yijoon away. Fortunately, there were always customers in the gambling hall.

“Let me give you a piece of advice as someone older and wiser. For a woman, education, career, and all that stuff is useless. Being pretty, having a good body, taking care of yourself, that’s your real skill, see? You can study all you want, but the pretty girls get married better. So, you know, wear some tight clothes sometimes, a skirt that’s just short enough… A woman needs that kind of appeal, right?”

Taeri continued wiping down the machines, making no effort to hide her sigh, while the owner muttered loud enough for her to hear.

“Of course, knowing how to move your hips in the bed is the best… and if you’re tight, that’s the icing on the cake. You, kid, should do your Kegel exercises regularly. That’s how you get the men to like you.”

“Sir.”

Finally, Taeri threw down the rag and turned to face him. She barely managed to swallow the words, You perverted bastard.

“I’d appreciate it if you’d refrain from saying such things.”

“Keep it up and what? You’ll report me to the Ministry of Labor for sexual harassment? Honestly, damn it, this is why young people these days are no good. I give you advice out of the goodness of my heart, and it’s sexual harassment or it’s offensive, for fuck’s sake. Damn it, it’s impossible to live without walking on eggshells around these kids.”

The owner furiously tapped at his phone screen, then yelled, “Ah, shit!”

“You made me lose, damn it!”

The owner threw his phone onto a machine, stood up, and walked towards Taeri. She met his approaching gaze without flinching, and this seemed to irritate him, who let out an unpleasant laugh.

“Hey, Taeri. I’m just kidding, just kidding. Look down. Do you think I’d be picking on a little kid like you at my age? Do I really have to worry about what my part-timer thinks of me?”

“That wasn’t a joke, sir. Jokes are supposed to be funny, and that wasn’t funny at all.”

“Yeah. Hilarious.”

Ah, Taeri feigned an exasperated sigh and ran her hand through her hair. The owner’s gaze became even more blatant as he openly ogled her body.

“You’re even prettier up close. Why are you especially pretty today? Is it that time of the month?”

“What?”

“They say women are prettier during their period. Something about hormones. So, what was it you said? You don’t have a boyfriend?”

Instead of answering, Taeri raised her index finger and asked a seemingly unrelated question.

“Yours, sir. It’s toothpick-sized, isn’t it?”

The owner, initially grinning, not understanding, suddenly froze, then flushed red.

“What?! A toothpick-sized?! This little brat! I’m being nice and saying you’re pretty, and you treat me like this! Have you seen it?! Have you seen mine?! Want me to show you? I’ve got something monstrous hidden in here!”

The owner grabbed his crotch as if he were about to pull down his pants. A huge man like him, neck bulging with rage, cursing and threatening like this would usually make someone back down, but Taeri didn’t even blink. She added,

The hot-headed owner, unable to contain his rage, kicked an empty chair, sending it flying backward with a bang.

Taeri stared impassively at the fallen chair, then fixed her gaze on the owner. Her eyes dared him to hit her, and it was the owner who became surprisingly flustered.

“Close your eyes, you bitch. You’re not even worth a single punch.”

The owner raised his massive, weapon-like hand, and Taeri slowly closed her eyes.

Fine. I’ll just take the settlement money and quit.

Just as she clenched her jaw, bracing for the impact, she heard the steady thud, thud of approaching footsteps.

Then, thwack―a powerful force struck, sending someone’s face flying.

It didn’t take long for Taeri to realize it wasn’t her face that had been hit. As soon as she opened her eyes, her gaze locked with someone else’s.

Dark, smoldering black eyes, blazing with anger.
