You're late.

I feel like.

I'm constantly letting you down.

If you're talking about standing me up,

you're right.

But you're making it hard for me to get angry at you.

I'm sorry.

Did something happen?

I have a favor to ask.

Please don't come to the office for some time

without asking me why.

I'm so sorry…

I couldn't make it today.

I-rang didn't come home yesterday?

It doesn't seem so.

Maybe a new ghost came.

A new ghost came?

I was away from the office a few days for acting jobs.

It's just my guess.

Don't worry too much.

I'll check on him later.

Would you like a cup of tea?

LEAVE OUR SCHOOL! I-RANG'S DAD, UGH!

I-RANG'S DAD IS A CRIMINAL!

Are you okay?

Do you not have a home? Or…

Were you kicked out?

It's none of your business.

You tossed and turned in a cold sweat all night.

I was worried you were going through something bad.

Haven't you ever thought

it's all because of you?

What do you mean?

How can I possibly have a good sleep when a ghost is watching me?

Oh.

Now that you know, please go away.

Anywhere is fine

as long as I don't have to see you.

If you don't mind,

may I ask why?

Because you don't convince me.

How can an attorney do their job if they aren't convinced by their client?

Attorney

and client?

Do you perhaps know who I am?

Of course not.

I'm saying you don't look convincing at all.

It's not right to judge a book by its cover.

Especially, legal professionals must not have prejudice and bias.

They must treat everyone justly and fairly

without any kind of discrimination.

Says someone who did the opposite.

Who did the opposite?

Why doesn't he want me in the office?

Does he feel uncomfortable seeing me?

SUBMIT YOON JAE-UK CASE MATERIALS TO COURT

ATTORNEY SHIN I-RANG

Hello, Attorney Shin.

I'm calling because we have to submit Mr. Yoon's case materials today.

I…

Forgot to tell you

but…

We're not taking on that case.

What?

Why?

Did a new ghost come or something?

Attorney Han.

I'm a little busy right now.

Oh.

Okay.

What on earth is going on?

The court building is…

Very close to here.

It must be convenient for work.

Why now?

- Excuse me? - Why does it have to be now?

Because of you, I…

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you consulting with a client?

No, it's nothing.

Well, aren't you hungry?

Your mom packed some gimbap for you.

Anyway, did Attorney Han go somewhere?

Mom's gimbap ?

Wow, it smells so savory.

It smells savory.

Try this.

Here you go.

- You want some too? - Sure.

Sa-rang, you too.

Your egg gimbap is indeed

one of a kind.

It is.

Bong-su, wait.

I'm not hungry right now. I'll have this later.

And if I happen to get possessed,

splash water on me right away.

Okay?

Don't hesitate, and do it straightaway.

Okay.

Goodness. I get it. Don't worry.

Oh, right.

Your mom's very worried.

If you're sleeping or eating without any problems…

Parents are constantly worried when their children aren't around.

Bong-su.

The truth is…

What is it? Got something to tell me?

Go ahead and tell me. You know I'm tight-lipped.

I'm not?

Anyway, give your mother a call while we're at it.

She's been worried since this morning.

Okay.

I didn't have any at home to have some with you here.

Who can possibly resist this aroma?

Um…

Excuse me.

I'm not usually one to be rude,

but this aroma is

just irresistible.

If you don't mind,

may I have a little? Just a little, please.

Sure.

Of course, you may.

Oh.

I'm the paralegal here.

Thank you, Mr. Paralegal.

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

Water.

It's better to die full than live hungry.

I wake him after he's eaten.

Here. Have some water too.

It makes no sense. How can something be this delicious?

Is it that good?

It's amazing.

How should I put it?

For some reason,

it even tugs at my heartstrings.

My mother-in-law's cooking is to die for…

I mean, to live for.

- Help yourself. - Yes, thank you.

I'll help myself.

Oh, I have some soup too.

Hi, Prosecutor Kim. I'm calling to ask you something.

Do you know why Mr. Yoon changed attorneys?

I'm guessing you heard something since you're in charge of the case.

I haven't heard anything, but I have a hunch.

His father, Mr. Yoon Dae-myeong, was involved in a case 20 years ago.

The prosecutor in charge was Shin Gi-jung.

Attorney Shin's father.

Really?

So?

I'm home.

Hey.

So, how is I-rang?

He's well.

And he does have a new ghost client.

I guess he isn't on good terms with that ghost, though.

He wants me to wake him up as soon as he gets possessed.

Why? What kind of ghost is it?

I-rang said it was a woman in her sixties,

but it sounded like a man when he was possessed.

You're probably mistaken.

Anyway, I saw I-rang say something strange to the ghost.

Like what?

Like, "Because of you, I"…

It sounded like he was, let me say…

Resentful.

Did I-rang have this lunch box?

Yes. Actually, no.

The possessed I-rang did.

Tell me more about that ghost.

The ghost?

Oh, she loved your egg gimbap .

- What else? - More?

He was very polite and sounded gentle.

Why do you ask?

No, nothing.

- Oh, let me get ready at the restaurant. - Okay.

Geez. I told him to wake me up right away.

How long have you been living this kind of life?

- What? - How many ghosts

have you gone through?

Why are you curious?

It must've been very hard.

It may have been dangerous at times.

That's right.

I almost got into an accident.

I almost got killed too.

Still, you didn't stop?

They clung to me all the time like this. How was I supposed to stop?

I see you are…

A good man.

I'm just a softy.
