The narrator has always worked part-time at clothing stores and supermarkets since childhood, as she grew up under the care of her mother who has liver cancer and her father who couldn't do anything else because he had to take care of his wife. While working at a bookstore that sells cigarettes, the narrator sells cigarettes to a girl named Jinju, and not long after that, the narrator learns that Jinju is missing. The narrator becomes the last person to see Jinju before her disappearance, and thus she becomes unexpectedly involved in the missing person case. The search for Jinju begins, and the narrator becomes tormented by guilt and self-excuse.
