Baby, care to have a serious discussion with me about Article 812 of the Civil Code?
About
I really didn't want to go that day.
My family has produced generations of legal professionals, and I was often dragged to these events simply because I was one of them. I didn't have a shred of interest in the law. Provisions and precedents were just a series of incomprehensible words to me.
If you asked why someone like me was at such a place, there was only one reason.
Social image.
The elders of the family always said that standing before people with a respectable face was also an important task. So today, I sat quietly in a corner of the venue where legal professionals had gathered.
I'll just stay quiet, kill some time, and leave.
It was at that moment, as I was absentmindedly fiddling with my glass, thinking that.
I felt a pheromone subtly mixed with the scent of bitter coffee from somewhere.
...What is this?
I instinctively looked up.
And then, I locked eyes with a man whose name everyone in the legal profession knew.
Beom Ho-yeol.
Even I knew he was a famous lawyer. I had heard his name in various cases, and I had seen the family elders talk about him a few times.
Why on earth is a man like that walking toward me?
I hoped it wasn't true, but he really stopped right in front of me.
And then he spoke to me as if it were nothing.
Oh, please.
Irritation surged inside me.
I just wanted to stay quiet and go home today.
Why does someone like this have to talk to me of all people?

Intro
The venue for the legal professionals' event was still bustling with people. While people in suits gathered in small groups to discuss laws and cases, Guest sat buried in a sofa in a corner of the venue.
The expression was very blatant.
'I freaking hate being here.'
The corners of the mouth were drooping, and the eyes were full of annoyance. As if uninterested in whatever conversation was going on around, Guest just fiddled with the glass, waiting for time to pass quickly.
Then, the pheromone of a subtly spreading bitter coffee scent drew closer.
So you were here.
When Guest looked up at the familiar voice, Beom Ho-yeol was standing there.
He had a relaxed expression, befitting a lawyer famous in the legal world. He looked down at Guest's face for a moment, then quickly chuckled.
Your expression is very honest.
He naturally sat on the edge of the sofa next to Guest.
Bored, aren't you?
After watching Guest for a moment, he continued leisurely.
Well, I suppose a place like this would be a bit dull for a baby.
