Inside the meeting room, a few reporters has taken their seat and glanced anxiously towards each other. They looked nervously at the guy, An Song Ho, who just stood there and kept looking at the watch on the wall. The room was so silence until they all can hear the ticking sounds from the watch.
"Tick.. Tock.. Tick.. Tock.. Brgggg"
A heavy sound of door slamming against the wall suddenly can be heard inside the room. Everyone's eyes immediately pointed towards the door, and Ji An small figure is making an entrance there with heavy panting, proofing she was running all the way to get into the meeting room.
"Song Ji An.. hah hah.. Come to report.. hah hah. Sorry for being late" Ji An glanced quickly across the room to find an empty seat. She quickly walked when she spotted one. Before she even manage to drag the seat out, An Song Ho's voice coming through her ear.
"Ji An, report."
Ji An confidently took out the camera and present it to An Song Ho, "Oppa, look at this! I told you we can get the exclusive. I followed that pervert politician back to to his mistress' house. I even captured the moment they are together inside the car."
[Oppa: how Korean girl address older male]
An Song Ho took the camera from her hand and looked through all the photos inside. His head rose slowly and returned the camera back to Ji An. "Meeting ends. Do everything as per our initial discussion today, and remember the deadline is in 2 more days."
Everyone immediately rushed out the meeting room, to chase for their deadline. Some running towards their work station, while some immediately shouting order, packing their bag and runs out to catch some news. The office was suddenly bursting out with activity.
An Song Ho tidied up the meeting document and preparing to leave, when suddenly Ji An's body blocked his exit. "Oppa, why you didn't say anything? What do you think about the pictures?"
An Song Ho prepared to leave again and Ji An still insisting to block his way. Song Ho was so angry and he slammed back the documents in his hand to the table ,"Song Ji An, do you think becoming a reporter is a joke? You think your father is famous and you can do everything you like?"
Ji An was shocked to hear this from An Song Hon,"I... What.. That's not what I think. I am serious about this!"
"Serious? Have you seen the photos? Have you?!" An Song Ho howled.
Ji An still couldn't understand. How could she? She doesn't feel she did anything wrong with the pictures. She tried so hard to stalk and wait, and even during the actual photo-taking itself, she was half tortured by Lee Jun. Ji An snatched the camera back and quickly opening the photo gallery inside the camera.
Ji An was utterly shocked. There are a lot of photos inside but it didn't proof the politician was with his mistress. Every pictures just shown her the politician car and nothing else. For a reporter, making an accusation without any evidence is a fatal mistake. Some more she was the one begging An Song Ho for the coverage. Ji An suspected all along that the politician receiving bribes in terms of sexual favor. So far, Ji An has followed him a few times and his mistress keep changing. It was not easy for her to get information that all sexual activity has been done inside this condominium, which was bought under shell company name and traced back to this politician. To open investigation door towards this direction, Ji An was planning to start getting closer with the mistress or any other girls. She believed the indirect attack and investigation could open more door to the main issue and helped put the perverted politician under police scrutiny.
Sexual harassment in Korea just recently becoming a very hot topic due to #MeToo movement. To strike iron while it's still hot, that's Ji An's motto. With this exclusive, she wanted to bring into light that some of those higher-up and powerful people are no different than perverted animal who can only threat people with their power. And using girls as tools of exchange, without regarding girls as human being, who has their own right to do whatever they wanted to pursue. Some of these poor girls were being scammed coming into this industry. So, exposing the politician bad deed is just an initial attack before exposing the human-trafficking industry.
However, her plan just failed miserably and she didn't dare to retort back to An Song Ho. It was clearly her mistake this time. She didn't pay enough attention on the tinted window and she even let herself accidentally found out by Lee Jun. She was not good enough this time and she was totally aware of it. She just lowered her head down.
"Ji An, keep your mind straight. You want to make something big, fine. You need to gather enough proof and not wasting everyone's time. Do you think it is right? Some of the people inside were your seniors! You kept telling me you wanted to be a big-shot reporter. You screwed up badly this time. Think whether this job really suits you." With the last remarks, An Song Ho walked towards the door. He glanced subtly towards Ji An with a painful and regretful look and strode towards his desk, leaving Ji An behind with her misery.
After An Song Ho left, Ji An collapsed to the floor. Her leg lost all energy with the harsh remarks. She silently cried. Not because she was sad, but because what An Song Ho said is true. It was truly her mistake and she felt she had made her dad disappointed.
'Dad, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry'. After crying for a while, Ji An scrubbed her face angrily and went to her pocket to look for her phone. She kept all the information about the politician inside. When she grabbed her pocket, she felt emptiness in her pocket, nothing was inside. She quickly opened her backpack, threw everything on the table and still couldn't found it. She was in panic and thinking hard on where she misplaced her phone. Her phone contains all sensitive information. She couldn't afford it to be found by other people.
'My goodness. Was it inside my coat! Oh no, where did I put my coat? Was it at the condo car-park or studio?'
She can't remember.
