Can Murder Be a Workplace Accident?
nicotineSynopsis
“Congratulations. Lot number 3, Lee Ufan’s <From Point, From Line>, has been sold for 6.1 billion won.”
The sound of the auctioneer’s gavel rang out cheerfully. Min Isak, the chief curator of Gallery Spring, sat in the VIP room and gave a bitter smile. He purchases artworks worth hundreds of millions and signs off on the paperwork, yet in his own home, there isn’t even a wall spacious enough to hang such a painting.
Min Isak, the chief curator of Gallery Spring, is just an ordinary man living in a 250-square-foot studio apartment, paying monthly rent. He once dreamed of becoming a painter but failed and became a curator instead. Now, his high school classmate, Namgung Tree, has appeared before him as the gallery’s new director. Min Isak despises Namgung Tree, who flaunts his new money and landed the position through connections. In turn, Namgung Tree despises Min Isak, who sometimes has to sell his body for the sake of his work.
Then, one day, while arguing ahead of an exhibition, Namgung Tree hits a nerve, triggering Min Isak’s trauma. But upon seeing him cry, Namgung Tree’s erectile dysfunction, which he thought was a lifelong hopeless cause, is suddenly cured. What… on earth is happening?
