아이스크림

Ice cream was one small pleasure in the narrator's life, until a carton bought by the couple turns out to be bad and smells of petrol. They complain to the maker, and the complaint brings worry rather than relief. When an investigator, Manager Kim, visits the flat, the two can't stop guessing about him and what he wants. Through the incident, the logic of a big company and the lot of its insecure workers come quietly into view.
