By taking opportunity of being a model for a painter named Song Wu-Yeol at a park, the barmaid named Jang-Mi (Rose) loves him. To install equipment in her bar, she sends Yeong-Ah (Jang-Mi gives her tuition fee like elder sister) to the place where Song works. When she is informed that Song and Young-Ah become close, she returns Young-Ah to her house. She is also informed through Young-Ah that Song has his fiancee, so that she blames him and spends disappointed time. She brings up Song's daughter named Hyeon-Suk. She suffers from the disease caused by mixed feeling of love and disappointment, and intends to register Hyeon-Suk at Song's family register before she dies. At last she completes the registration and then dies. Song regrets her death and weeps with tears.
