고별

She left a cultural foundation to marry her boss and now takes the odd freelance job, her career stalled, while he has risen to a senior post. When his mother dies after six years of cancer, the foundation's staff, soon to choose a new chief executive, fill the mourning hall with scheming that chills more than grief. With her old peers Gyeong-ju and Seok-hyeon still working there, she asks herself how her life took this shape, and thinks of the USB stick holding her working years.
