Han Estate. Midnight.
Soorin was finally starting to drift off when her phone lit up with one last notification.
News alert.
[BREAKING: Prosecutor's Office officially confirms criminal investigation into Lee Hyunjoo. Charges expected to be formally filed within the week. Potential prison sentence of 3-5 years if convicted on all counts.]
She read it twice.
Then set her phone down on the nightstand.

It was finally, completely, absolutely over.
Tomorrow, she could start focusing on what came next. On moving forward. On getting back to normal.
But tonight?
Tonight she could just rest.
And let karma finish doing the rest of the work.

She grabbed it off the nightstand, squinting at the screen through sleep-blurred eyes.
