Introduction
A married poet in his late 30s, who has lived on Jeju Island since birth, leads an uneventful life, slowly losing inspiration. His wife is desperate to have a baby and pushes the poet to make love when he is not in the mood. While struggling to avoid going to bed with his wife, he eventually goes to a doctor for a checkup and is diagnosed with oligospermia. One day, while he is writing a poem at a donut shop, the poet is inspired by a passing comment from a teenage boy who works there part time. From then on, the poet helplessly develops feelings he has never known before.
