Code of Ethics for Lawyers
I got a stalker.
He was extremely persistent, he acted like he was obsessed with lunch, and he was annoyingly pretty .
And he kept… shaking people up.

“Sunbae, do you need money too?”
Even when he stayed still, Hamin’s big eyes grew wider. His surprised expression looked absurd, like it was the first time he had ever heard such words in his life.
“If I give you some, will you stop following me? I could give you a few hundred just like that.”
“…..”
“Ah, if you feel it hurts your pride to just take it… then later, when you pass the bar exam, you could give me some legal advice or something. Of course, you need to pass it first.”
Hamin stayed silent for a long time. He crossed his arms with a slightly surprised face, and for a while he only tapped his arm as if he was calculating something. After a moment he said in a low voice.
“Even if I add legal maximum interest, you won’t be able to handle it.”
…Legal, what?
Jaeha’s lips parted slightly at the sudden words he had not expected.
“My salary is calculated by the minute. Even the basic retainer fee is quite…”
That alone was not enough. His face showed he was wondering whether he should take it or not. Jaeha was the one who had dismissed him, but when Hamin turned that back on him, he was dumbfounded.
When he came to his senses, he realized his answer avoided every scenario he had imagined, and felt irritated.
“If it’s not money you need… then why are you following me? Do you like me?”
“If I like you, does that become a reason to follow you?”
“I don’t know if it becomes a reason or not, but at least I could accept it.”
Hamin’s eyes, which had been staring at his chest for a while, turned back to Jaeha’s.
“Then let’s go with that.”
Jaeha blinked blankly at the soft words he spoke.
What did this stalker just say now?
“I like you.”
