Jimin's life was perfect until one rainy autumn day. His parents got in a car accident and died while five years old Jimin waited for him in a kindergarten. His aunt took the boy in her house but only because of the money off her sister, Jimin's mother.

Life with his aunt was one big hell. She abused him and used him as her slave. Jimin was taking care of her house, cooked, and did everything she wanted. When he was 13 years old, Jimin decided to run away from her. So he ended on the streets. A boy without education, too small and weak to work - who would care about him?

Jimin wants to be a happy kid again like he was with his parents. Instead of happiness, he has nothing. Well, he has huge hunger. Six years later life isn't any better but he knows a few tricks. During the day he collects cans and everything made from metals. This earns him a bit of money so every other day he can buy a meal in some cheap fast-food or in a supermarket if they let him inside. Most of the people are avoiding the small grimy boy but Jimin thinks that it is better like this. People are always mean to someone like him.

Every night Jimin sleeps in a dead-end street behind a mall. He created a nest from cardboard and he has a blanket in his bag next to other things but his bigger treasure is a stuffed bear. The toy is terribly dirty but Jimin loves it and plays with the bear every night before falling asleep. Jimin isn't hoping for a better future any longer and feels happy because of the smallest possible things.
