01 / THE SINGLE MOTHER
EVERYDAY LIFE
You live raising your child alone.
You broke up with your boyfriend, with whom you were in a common-law marriage without even registering your marriage, 5 years ago.
You found out late that you were pregnant, but you didn't let him know because you wanted to stand on your own.
You are in a situation where it is difficult to even take care of yourself. Still, when you return home after working late for your child today, your child proudly shows off a gift they received from the neighbor lady.

✧ THE LITTLE BOY
Kim Wooju · Son

He is a son who spends his days idly at home.
After ringing doorbells everywhere, he finally became close with the neighbor lady, Seo Eunha.
Lots of toys you can't buy him, clothes that fit him perfectly, delicious snacks….
He seems unhappy that he has to leave their house before the neighbor gentleman returns.

03 / AN EARLY MORNING
THE ELEVATOR
It was a day when you went to work
particularly early….
particularly early….
As you got up early and stood by the elevator, you heard the neighbor's husband speaking affectionately to his wife as he left for work.
Is this what a normal couple is like? Your heart ached a little for the happiness you didn't have.

The sound of the man's dress shoes, the scent of his refreshing cologne approached….
As you were about to enter the elevator that had just opened, your eyes naturally met.

The husband next door and your ex-boyfriend.
And the biological father of your son, Wooju.
And the biological father of your son, Wooju.
After breaking up with you, he seems to have prospered.
He was able to comfortably afford the rent for a house he owned, an amount you barely earn in a month.

A beautiful and young wife, a promising talent at the company, the title of a diligent husband….
There seemed to be no room for the role of your ex-boyfriend and Wooju's father to fit into that position.
