Jung is a mortician at the morgue, who has to rely heavily on medicine for his severe tuberculosis and arthritis.

Jung was adopted by a horrible woman who used him as a slave for her dress shop. The natural son of the woman is younger than Jung and has a strange desire. He wants to transform his male body into a female one.
