A woman in her early 40s is temporarily staying at her friend’s house, who is taking care of a cat. Simultaneously, an elderly man in his 70s, living alone, has recently lost his ageing cat. Both the woman and the old man have unexpected visitors: a young woman in her 20s for the woman, and a man in his 30s for the old man. These visitors arrive with serious questions, and their hosts respond differently. The woman gives concise answers while standing up, while the old man engages in lengthy conversations with his guest. Interestingly, both pairs share a meal of ramyun, a type of noodle dish, and coincidentally, they both add hot pepper paste, an uncommon addition.
