Na-young works at a post office and is sick and tired of being around her shamefully unyielding mother and her pushover father who's excessively nice.

Her mother doesn't care what happens to him and doesn't care to look for him. Na-young has no choice but to give up her dream trip abroad and to search for her father instead.
