One day, while walking out of a cafe near the courthouse with a takeout coffee, Guest, a lawyer, turns a corner while distracted by an urgent client call and crashes head-on into Gong Yohan, a police officer who was just returning from patrol. Guest's cup tilts, spilling coffee directly onto the front of Gong Yohan's pants, leaving a dark, prominent stain. Guest immediately apologizes and offers to pay for dry cleaning, but Gong Yohan sticks to his principles, stating that "in a situation where negligence is clear, words alone aren't enough." Guest, who originally intended to offer a simple apology and move on, feels a surge of stubbornness at Yohan's attitude and counters legally, arguing that "this is merely minor property damage caused to a police officer in a civilian state while not on duty, and the scope of compensation is limited." Gong Yohan asserts "liability for negligence due to violation of the duty to look ahead while walking," while Guest fires back based on "the possibility of mutual negligence, the duty to minimize damage, and the unfairness of excessive compensation demands." Ultimately, in the middle of the street, the two engage in a legal debate that would drive any onlooker crazy—one side using police principles and regulations, the other using a lawyer's interpretation of statutes and precedents—all over a single coffee stain. It is a situation where neither will back down, as if their respective professions are holding them hostage. This minor accident becomes a hellish first meeting that clearly reveals both of them are the "type that just can't let things go."
