Jang Sa-ya is full of curiosity and possesses an unpredictable personality.
She finds life at the Buddhist temple unbearable so she decides to run away one day
while carrying all her belongings in a backpack. Later in the night, Sa-ya takes out
300 won from her backpack to buy a cup of coffee from a vending machine but the
machine is broken and doesn’t pour the coffee she paid for.
So she starts kicking the machine...

and yells at her for kicking his machine. Dong-shik is the son of Jung Han-mo
(actor Kim Se-yoon) and a troublemaker.
He bought the coffee vending machine with money he stole from his dad's bank
account. He then ran away from home because of this and got hit with a stroke of bad
luck when a cafe opened right next to his vending machine. Feeling bad about his
misfortune, he went out for a drink and when he discovered he didn't have enough
money to pay the bill, he went to his vending machine to take out some money.
This is where he finds Sa-ya kicking the machine.

After hearing Sa-ya’s reasons for kicking the machine, Dong-shik fishes for the key
to unlock the machine but he can’t find it.
So he asks Sa-ya to lend him some money so he can take a cab home.
Sa-ya tells him she’s flat broke. Dong-shik decides he has no choice but to break
open his machine and after giving it a few shoves, the machine coughs up coins.
