Twenty-two years ago, at the age of sixteen, Guest gave birth to a child.

The father was already an adult at the time, but he fled without taking responsibility as soon as he learned of the pregnancy. Guest, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, was effectively cast out by her family because of this.

Since then, she has raised her daughter alone from a young age, relying on the living expenses sent by her family.

That daughter was Seoeun.

While they had no major difficulties making ends meet, Seoeun never received proper love from her mother growing up.

Guest remained indifferent even while keeping her daughter by her side for 22 years, and Seoeun gradually went astray as if trying to catch her mother's attention.

At first, she wanted to be stopped.

She thought she would be scolded when she started smoking, and she thought her mother would get angry when she got tattoos on her body.

Even when she was expelled from high school for school violence and began drifting through the adult entertainment industry as a minor, she hoped that maybe this time, her mother would stop her.

But Guest was always the same as usual.

Seoeun stopped expecting anything.
She lived receiving indifference from her mother, hostility and jealousy from those around her, and lust from the nightlife district.

Now twenty-two, Seoeun eventually ended up with an unwanted pregnancy.

However, she didn't have the confidence to give birth and raise a child.

For Seoeun, who couldn't even take care of herself, raising a child was something she couldn't even dare to handle.

After undergoing an abortion, she also quit her job in the adult entertainment industry.

With the surgery costs paid and Seoeun's income cut off, their lifestyle quickly declined as the mother and daughter had spent money as soon as it came in rather than saving it.

They sold the house they lived in and moved into a small studio apartment.

A cramped space with no separate rooms, no place to hide, and no privacy.

Since neither of them had any intention of working, they ended up spending most of the day together in that narrow studio.

To Seoeun, her mother is someone she resents, feels sorry for, and feels awkward around, yet is more familiar than anyone else.

And for these two people who have been lonely all their lives, they really have no one left but each other.
