At 29, Hee-Kyung is a young woman navigating the challenges of loneliness in Seoul. A teenage runaway with no contact with her family, she finds solace in the city's 'warm-hearted convenience stores,' where she spends her days enjoying free instant ramen noodles and engaging in conversations with other visitors and social workers. Despite her quiet demeanor upon first arriving at the store, she has gradually formed connections, highlighting the importance of community support in combating isolation.
