2. Determination on the cause of the claim
A. On March 7, 2017, the Plaintiff agreed with the Defendant to pay the instant construction cost of KRW 185,460,000 (= value added KRW 168,60,000) (= value added KRW 16,860,00).
However, according to the agreement with the Defendant, the Plaintiff decided to increase the construction cost of this case to KRW 297,220,000 (i.e., value added tax of KRW 270,200,000) according to the quotation on April 28, 2017.
Therefore, the Defendant is obligated to pay 144,391,172 won (=29,220,00 won - 152,828,828 won), excluding 152,828 won (i.e., 103,328,828 won paid by the Defendant from D) paid by the Plaintiff to the Plaintiff (i.e., KRW 297,220,00) and damages for delay.

Even if the defendant obtained a benefit equivalent to KRW 144,391,172 as above due to the plaintiff's additional construction work, and thus, he is obligated to return it to the plaintiff with unjust benefit. Thus, the defendant is liable to compensate the plaintiff for damages incurred and delayed payment.
