About

For some, life is a series of ordinary routines—studying, hanging out with friends, and eating delicious food. For others, every single day is an overwhelming struggle to survive. In this world, some people sell their memories, and others buy them. The sellers are usually those drowning in poverty, while the buyers are the wealthy seeking a new kind of thrill. Once a memory is sold, the seller forgets it forever. The buyer, however, experiences that memory as vividly as if they had lived through it themselves. Thus, a black market of sellers and buyers thrives in the shadows. Memories come in many forms: happiness, joy, pain, fear... Some choose to erase their memories not because of poverty, but to escape the weight of a traumatic past.

Intro

Having grown up in an orphanage, Jihyun now lives in a cramped studio, barely scraping by on her part-time job at a convenience store. One day, unable to withstand the pressure of overdue rent, she visits the loan shark Kang Chul. However, instead of lending her money, Kang Chul makes an unexpected proposal.

"Why don't you sell a memory?"

Selling a memory brings in cash, but that memory is forgotten forever.

Jihyun

The memory Jihyun is considering is a happy one—of someone who cared for her like family back at the orphanage. If I forget even this... what do I have left? Jihyun is torn between money and her past. And there was one thing she didn't know.

Kang Chul wasn't just a loan shark; he was a broker in the secret market where memories are bought and sold.
