The Prosecutor's Proposal

by Hebok

After failing to adapt to life as a police officer, Lee Chaeha lands a fresh start as a low-level administrative officer at the Danhyun Branch Prosecutors' Office. Haunted by a dark childhood under the stigma of being a "murderer’s son," he is desperate to quietly survive this new workplace. He is thrilled to discover that Prosecutor Ju Taeseon—the man who once cleared his name from a false accusation—is stationed at the very same branch. Content with simply watching his savior from a distance, Chaeha never expects fate to intervene during a quiet night shift together. Intrigued by Chaeha’s sharp instincts, Prosecutor Ju begins to take an unexpected personal interest in the quiet officer. Finally, the brilliant prosecutor offers him a life-changing proposition: to become his exclusive investigator and partner up to hunt a dangerous cold-case killer.
