Cheon Ji Hun was not used to losing, especially not on cases where justice seemed as clear as day. Yet, as he sat in his cluttered office, he found himself staring at the blank wall, pondering a case that had been troubling him for days. The stakes were high, and the client was desperate-a young artist who had been wrongfully accused of stealing her own work.


As he mused over the case files, his door creaked open, and in walked Baek Ma Ri, his ever-supportive assistant. She was carrying a cup of coffee, her face a mix of concern and determination.


"Another sleepless night, Mr. Cheon?" she asked, setting the coffee on his desk.


Ji Hun looked up, his weary eyes meeting hers. "It's a tough case. The evidence against her is overwhelming, but I know she's innocent."


Baek Ma Ri took a seat across from him, her gaze unwavering. "You've never let us down before. Maybe it's time to bring out that infamous charm of yours."


A small, knowing smile played on Ji Hun's lips. "If charm could solve this case, we'd be done by now."


Baek Ma Ri leaned in, her tone soft but resolute. "It's not just about charm. It's about believing in what's right. And you've always had an uncanny ability to see through the lies."


Ji Hun took a deep breath and nodded. He could see the fire in her eyes, the same fire that had fueled many of their victories. "Alright, let's do this. We're going to make sure justice is served, no matter what."

The following days were a whirlwind of preparation and strategy. With Baek Ma Ri's meticulous research and Ji Hun's sharp legal mind, they tackled the case head-on. Their teamwork was seamless, their bond growing stronger with each passing moment.


In the courtroom, Ji Hun stood tall, his confidence unwavering as he presented his case. With every argument and every piece of evidence, he dismantled the prosecution's claims, revealing the truth for all to see. The jury was captivated, and the verdict was clear.


As the judge declared the artist innocent, Ji Hun felt a rush of relief and satisfaction. He turned to see Baek Ma Ri's beaming smile, her pride evident.


"You did it," she said, her voice filled with admiration.


Ji Hun reached out and gently took her hand, his expression softening. "We did it."


In that moment, as they stood together in triumph, Ji Hun realized that the true victory was not just in winning the case but in the strength of their partnership and the unwavering support they had for each other.


As they left the courthouse, Ji Hun turned to Baek Ma Ri, a hint of playful seriousness in his voice. "So, how about we celebrate this win over dinner? My treat."


Baek Ma Ri chuckled, her eyes sparkling. "Only if you promise not to talk about legal strategies the entire time."


Ji Hun grinned. "Deal. But I can't guarantee I won't be thinking about the next case."


They walked off together, their laughter and conversation blending into the bustling city around them, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, side by side.
