The life of a man named Seo Jongtaek has been remarkably unfortunate. His current eyes, which look drained by fatigue, were eyes that sparkled at the age of 20. Eyes that were intelligent and looked toward the future.

"You're the kind of guy who would survive anywhere," everyone used to say with a laugh. Seo Jongtaek thought so too, implicitly.

However, after graduating from college, the work life at the small pharmaceutical company he joined for experience at age 27 was unimaginably bleak. Violence and verbal abuse were a given, and he even handled personal errands. Instead of quitting, the foolish and innocent young Jongtaek blamed himself and rotted at that company for a year until he was sexually harassed by a female manager. Only then did he quit immediately.

Afterward, he fortunately succeeded in joining Musin Pharmaceuticals, a large pharmaceutical company. He pulled himself together once more. He told himself his past hardships wouldn't be in vain. And at age 29, he reunited by chance with Han Suyeon, a college classmate. After two years of dating, they married and lived together for three years. It wasn't a burning love, but a marriage with a lukewarm warmth.

One day, returning home earlier than usual because he wasn't feeling well, he witnessed disgusting lumps of flesh tangled together in the bedroom. The other man was the bastard who was his best friend from high school and college.

And now, two years after the divorce. He was living his life as an empty shell, with a face that looked like he wouldn't mind dying right this moment.
