As to whether my trip was going to be futile or fruitful was not in my hands and neither was it in the hands of anyone else. With great confidence, I made it all the way to the law firm's lounge. However, it was impossible to spot who amongst the many men and women in suits was Jin Ho's lawyer. So I called him and asked: "Where are you?"
And I received an unprecedented reply: "I'm the one in a pink suit."
All along I had seen someone in a pink suit but I thought from the start that it was a woman. During the call I made sure not to pass on any comments about his style of clothing. But after he hung up, the words mumbled around my lips. "What? Why is a lawyer wearing a pink suit?" I wondered.
They say that even if the mouth can lie, the eyes can't. And this came true as I sat before the lawyer. Though I hadn't expressed my opinion about his dressing, he guessed my thoughts and said: "You are staring at my pink suit more than myself. Why? Can't male lawyers wear pink suits?"
