Summary:

Hanahaki disease had been something that's over-ratedly discussed by people of Bukjong. A small village with not more than 800 human being living there. The folks believed that a sealed curse way back from their ancestors time were broken.

Someone from that very place had blundered and did something that they were supposedly avoid. Now, the whole village need to bear the consequences. Everyone were slowly dying. They were coughing up petals of flowers, then stems, leaves before suddenly vomitting a whole bunch of everything.

When Kim Seungmin, the village head's only son took the mortifying matter into his own hands, he never thought what surprises will unveil before him. Series of chilling truths, abandoned promises, betrayals and sad unspoken but broken vows will shed themselves to light.

Seungmin just stuck his foot into a monstrous quicksand that dwells in sorrow for thousands year long. Pulling him so violently in until it'll find it's consolation.

As pathetic as it sounds, his time is ticking away.
