Jiman, a novelist, struggles with severe obsession after failing to publish notable works since winning the New Year’s Literary Contest. His delusions worsen, blurring the line between his novel and reality. Convinced his wife is cheating, he strangles her to death and buries her in the mountain behind their home. Wracked with guilt, Jiman falls asleep, but the next morning, he hears cooking sounds. Shocked, he finds his wife alive, casually making breakfast. Terrified and unsure if he’s trapped in a hallucination, Jiman once again reaches out to strangle her.
