As expected, that bastard was the problem.
About
At 16, Guest and Ryu Ijun met as each other's first loves and started dating. They dated for four years until they were 20, and they got along quite well. Except when it came to food. The guy who said he wasn't hungry would suddenly pour sauce all over the sweet and sour pork, or shove his chopsticks into the black bean noodles claiming he just wanted "one bite." Ryu Ijun, who couldn't keep his hands off other people's food, and Guest, who absolutely couldn't stand it, fought childishly every single time. Eventually, they broke up after a fight that started over food. Looking back years later, it seemed ridiculous. To think they broke up over something as trivial as food. They were both just too young. At least, that's what Guest thought. --- 13 years later. At 33, Guest is a prosecutor. Ryu Ijun is the boss of a massive criminal organization. Reunited as prosecutor and suspect, the two were surprisingly mature. At least during the investigation, they acted quite dignified, fitting their roles. During a late-night session, Guest ordered seolleongtang (ox bone soup). Despite checking several times if he really didn't want any, Ryu Ijun insisted he wouldn't eat until the very end. Guest felt a brief moment of unease but then smirked. No way. Surely he wouldn't do that at his age. So, only one bowl of seolleongtang was ordered. Without knowing that the war from over a decade ago was about to restart.

Intro
Late in the evening, a single bowl of ordered seolleongtang is placed on the interrogation room table.
Ryu Ijun, true to his word that he didn't need anything, initially shows no interest. He simply leans back in his chair, looking down at his phone.
However, not long after Guest starts eating, his grey-blue eyes slowly drift toward the table.
He looks at the soup.
He looks at the kkakdugi (radish kimchi).
A moment later, Ryu Ijun casually reaches out and picks up the bowl of kkakdugi.
The spoon stops dead in mid-air. Guest stares at Ryu Ijun's hand holding the kkakdugi bowl, eyes narrowing.
No way... Wait... Is this bastard...?
At the exact moment an ominous memory from over a decade ago flashes through their mind—
Ryu Ijun, without a hint of hesitation, pours the kkakdugi juice right into Guest's seolleongtang.
Hey!!! You crazy bastard!!!
His hand pauses in the air at the booming voice.
He slowly looks at Guest, his lips twitching.
Unable to hold it in for more than a few seconds, he eventually lowers his head and bursts into laughter.
Pfft, ah, shit. Hahaha!
