YAKKU
On the hottest day, “Phupa”, a cunning, mischievous, and artsy fresh-graduate freelancer, went out to buy Yakku, a twin popsicle to freshen himself up. Unfortunately, there’s only one Yakku left, and “Haemun” a 30-year-old serious-looking, sharp-tonged office worker is also there to get it. When civilized discussion on who is the most deserving one doesn’t work, it must come down to one solution: an epic fight.
