The story begins with an introduction to Sangwoo, a seemingly ordinary office worker who appears to have a mundane and uneventful life. He works as a civil servant in a government office and seems to have a healthy relationship with his coworker and friend, Minwoo. On the surface, Sangwoo appears to be a normal and likable person, but as the chapter progresses, subtle hints suggest that there may be more to him than meets the eye.

After years of watching Sangwoo from a distance, Bum's fixation reaches its "peak".
Opposite Bum, Sangwoo first appears as the benign center of a social radiance. The contrast is immediate and the artistry lies in how the chapter lets Sangwoo’s normalcy coat his edges. He smiles, he jokes, he navigates a world with effortless ease—qualities that, in the chapter’s framing, become sinister because they expose Bum’s own exclusions. Sangwoo is the social aperture through which Bum’s loneliness is measured: he is the impossible axis of Bum’s desire and the reason Bum’s imaginary world becomes dangerously tangible.
