Plot

Jeomsun hands the baked potato to the narrator, which the narrator turns down. Embarrassed, Jeomsun brings a rooster from home and makes it fight the narrator’s rooster. Angry, the narrator beats her rooster with a stick, killing it. Then he fears that he will be scolded by the farm’s supervisor for killing the rooster. At this time, Jeomsun convinces him that everything will be okay if he just listens to her. So the narrator follows Jeomsun’s lead.
