Synopsis
The protagonist, Akin, is a man who never hesitates to spend money. To him, money is an all-powerful key—it can buy luxurious food, dazzling clothing, and even friends and a lively atmosphere around him. He can easily solve life’s problems with cash; even a puddle on the road can be “resolved” with money. Akin believes that as long as he has money, he can control everything.
However, behind this seemingly smooth life, time is quietly passing. Akin becomes addicted to the sense of control brought by money, yet fails to realize that his youth is also being gradually consumed. In the end, he sits alone on a magnificent throne, surrounded by emptiness, with only his aging body and the Grim Reaper making one final, futile “transaction.”
At the final moment of his life, Akin tries to use money to buy back his past years, but no amount of wealth can reclaim lost time. Only then does he realize that what cannot be controlled is not wealth, but time itself.
