Yeong wanted a lease deposit in the bank before starting a family, so ten years passed between their wedding and the day she and Cheol rented a flat and learned a baby was coming. Their child is now five, saving has grown harder with the Covid pandemic, and the landlord wants more money. 'Who do we have, darling? No one, no one at all,' Yeong keeps saying, buying vitamin after vitamin for her husband and child. They strain every resource to buy a home of their own, until their health, too, starts to give way.
