#prosecutor bae

well prosecutor bae, as shown in the show, was definitely that girl head over heels for the top student yang jong hoon.

yang jong hoon, however, found no purpose of relationships and only wanted to get through school. he wanted to be lawyer, a prosecutor, end of story. driven and focussed, he would have probably ignored prosecutor bae for their first shared year.

but prosecutor bae would not give up. in fact, she would just keep working hard to be with him and ask him questions in class or outside of class just to get closer to him.

yang jong hoon was no stranger to the girl’s gossip that he was the candy of many eyes. but he didn’t let that bother him. and he certainly didn’t let prosecutor bae’s efforts bother him too.

but over time, as prosecutor bae continues chasing him, buying him coffees, and getting to know him, yang jong hoon realises maybe her as a friend isn’t that bad.

and so he acquaintances himself with her, pairing up with her during mock trials and spending more time trying to work with her than giving her standard answers like “yes”, “no”, “figure it out on your own”.

and as their training in the training institution slowly approaches the weeks leading to the bar exam, it takes jong hoon the two and a half years they spent learning and studying for their bar exam that he likes her.

that more than just being smiley, sweet and maybe a tad annoying for being so sticky to jong hoon, he realises that her charms in the courtroom during lessons made him fall in love.

the way she defends so passionately and her skills are so sharp made him realise that while she was learning from him, he learned something about relationships and friendships with her. 

on the day of graduation, jong hoon would tell prosecutor bae that he appreciated her, and in the most cryptic and indirect way, ‘where do you want to go today?’, symbolising the final return of his feelings to her.

as jong hoon is known to be prosecutor yang in the next few years, the duo would maintain a low maintenance relationship, with them meeting up for dinners every other day or so. 

prosecutor yang would live up to his known reputation along with his girlfriend prosecutor bae. in private, prosecutor yang learns to be human, experience the things that couples do like dates, sharing a meal, watching a movie, etc.

they would marry in private at the peak of their careers, and choose to have a two kids. prosecutor bae would stop her career to care for her kids for a short while. during this period, prosecutor yang hangs his robes in court for the blazer and turtle neck in the classroom as he returns to his alma mater, hankuk university to be a criminal law professor.

they would dote on their kids, a side that professor yang did not expect to bring out of himself, realising that he indeed has a soft side to his kids. they would not pressure them to pursue law from young, but install the values of truth and justice into their kids. to stand for what is right, and to speak out for the weak. 

prof yang would be exactly like how he is; strict and having high standards. but he would be compassionate and kind, always on the lookout for his students. the first years are terrified, but the third years learn to love him, knowing he loves them without the words. 

prosecutor bae would return, meeting reputations and still maintaining the standards she once had before her hiatus.
