Payment for the Ride

Da-eun, who missed the village bus that runs only twice a day, starts walking to a village located in the remote mountains. As she walks, exhausted from the scorching midsummer sun and her sweaty clothes fluttering, a man appears with his car and stops nearby her, and not far off from the village. He looks at her expressionlessly while Da-eun hands over her panties to him as an entry fee…

“Didn’t you learn manners back in school? You shouldn’t be showing something like this to anyone.”

Da-eun: “That’s what everyone does in the village. My grandmother doesn’t even wear a bra.”
