She finally passes her civil service examination and she prepares to move out. The story starts at the moment she prepares to move out after finding an apartment closer to the City Hall she will start working at in two months. Her current apartment is a semi-basement. So the windows are right at the street level. She made it cozy and very warm, she has a nice landlady and knows people and places in the neighborhood. It's a hard thing to say goodbye to the place one spent 8 years. However, her commute takes 4 hours a day. One day she finds 500,000 Won on top of her closet and asks around who could have put it there, but no one seems to remember anything - not her best friend, not her ex-boyfriend, not even the ex tenant. So she is unsure should she use it or find its owner to give back. And when she took a trip to her Parents', it was obvious why - her Mom passed away not so long before after battling dementia. Turns out, the money was left by her Mom - to use for shoes for her new job, because "good shoes take you to good places". She finally said goodbye to both her old life, her apartment, and what's more important - to her Mom. And while leaving the neighborhood in a truck carrying all of her possessions, she finally broke, her suppressed emotions finally found the outlet.
