In the morning at a quiet and isolated bus stop in a rural area, a man and a woman are waiting for a bus. The man, a stranger to the woman, starts a conversation with her. She feels that the more he speaks to her, the more frightened she is.
She is freaked out enough to take a cab when the man's bad guy-looking friend came. Unlike her misunderstanding, there remains the man who was in vain trying to confess to the woman, his long-time crush with his stuffs for the confession-event. She is now relieved, but would she be really safe as a woman alone in the Republic of Korea?

A typical misunderstood situation is portrayed in this movie, where a woman gets scared when a man talks to her with a good feeling. There is no problem with them. Instead, it is the problem with the society where Korean women have to always be careful. The society full of tricks and lies reveals itselfin this ironic situation. The bus stop gets more scary because no one can tell a man’s real intention..
