One day, Doo-soo is roaming around Tapgol Park where masters of chess are gathered together when he coincidentally meets Min-joo, his crush from high school.
Min-joo used to like Che Guevara and she was at Tapgol Park opposing the removal of a homeless shelter. Doo-soo helps her and enjoys himself, feeling the will power of life once again.
