금고에 갇히다

The narrator and his partner Cheol-gi crack a safe and then, absurdly, end up shut inside it along with the woman who was in on the job. Sure that they will be caught, the three pass the hours among other people's riches, and boredom drives them to play an old children's board game with gold dice they find there. A comic setup becomes a picture of people trapped by their own anxieties.
