When the young fox, Park, returns home, he is greeted by his step-mother, Park Minjae, who tells him that she has prepared dinner for him and hopes that he will enjoy it. The young fox tries to sleep, but his mother interrupts him with questions about his father and about his relationship with his brother, Yonsoung. Park's mother says that she would rather he be close to his brother than to be friends with his father, who is poor and unaccomplished. She explains that she is trying to have another child with her current husband before she becomes old enough to have children of her own.
