Synopsis

Chaemin always wears a smile in public, but no one knows what hides behind it — that he's drawn to men rather than women, and that behind closed doors, his home life leaves nothing but wounds. In the early summer of his second year of high school, a transfer student named Ian appears: pretty-faced but cold and aloof, keeping everyone at arm's length and watching Chaemin with an unsettling stare. Then one day, Chaemin stumbles onto Ian's secret — and strangely, sharing that secret with him feels like breathing freely for the first time. As the two begin to open up to each other, Ian grows fiercely attuned to Chaemin's pain, even haunted by it. Two boys standing at the edge between darkness and light slowly find themselves drifting into each other's worlds. And so their summer begins.
