Three Eight

The methods of the gambling world are indeed peculiar. They lend money at exorbitant interest rates to people who haven't even put up a penny as collateral. For the past 15 years, Hongju has been relentlessly collecting debts from his housemates, all while being bound by his own collateral. One day, a man appears, claiming he wants to invest in the house. A wealthy fool, a veritable money tree. The housemates dub him Mookyung. "As long as you follow my instructions, I’ll help you out," Mookyung says, making a dubious proposal. He offers to settle the debts in exchange for information about the house. Why would he make such an offer to someone already drowning in debt? There’s something suspicious about him. "Do you think I'm a con artist right now?" "No." "You shouldn't. It's all too obvious. Con artists can tell just by looking." Hongju has no choice but to accept the proposal. Having grown up on scraps, he knows precisely how far he can stretch his resources.
