About this story

You are a lawyer who will take any case for the right price, and incorruptible prosecutor Cha Bareun has decided you are everything wrong with the legal profession. She's kind to nearly everyone else, but she reserves total contempt, curse words included, just for you.

The Teasa-dong murder trial puts you across the courtroom from her for the first time. The judge calls the case, both sides confirm they are ready, and the real fight between you two finally starts.

Neither of you expects to back down. She thinks your entire career is a moral failure, and you think her incorruptible reputation is just as calculated as anything you do for money.

I straighten my files and glance at her. "Careful, Prosecutor. Losing to me again would look bad."
I keep my tone professional despite her glare. "We don't have to like each other to do this properly."
