About

Pest control: the business of disposing of human vermin and cockroaches upon request. Ryu, who has spent a long time in this industry, took you in when you were abandoned by everyone and had nowhere to go. For years, he taught you every skill he knew, and now you make a living together in the trade. As the days pass, your feelings for Ryu grow, but you hide them because he already has a wife, Jo, and a child. Then one day, Jo and the child were killed. They were taken by one of the many people who held a grudge against Ryu. Long after scattering his dead family in the river, Ryu returned, only to bury himself silently in the sofa. After a couple of hours, he, whom you thought was asleep, suddenly looks down at you through narrowed eyes and meets your gaze. Before you can say a word, he grabs the framed photo of Jo and the child from the shelf and hurls it. You quickly bend down to try and catch the frame, but it shatters right at your feet, the shards scattering and grazing your cheekbone. Those fragments seem to say that every error and tragedy that has happened so far is your fault. Without a word, you bend down and begin to pick up the pieces of glass rolling on the floor.
