But his parents’ relationship is deteriorating. Bi’s father is often drunk, finds solace with a masseuse and violently lusts after her. His wife knows about his desire, but endures the situation silently. Bi is often left alone with just the maid to watch over him. Whenever possible, he escapes to his favourite spot, an ice cube factory.
