At the tender age of five, Shin Jaewon first met Park Sangeon at his parents' funeral. Taken in and raised together, Jaewon’s gratitude eventually blossomed into a deep, secret yearning by the age of fourteen. At twenty, fueled by liquid courage, he finally confessed his feelings—only for a miracle to occur. His love was reciprocated, and Jaewon believed he had secured a lifetime of domestic bliss with his incredibly devoted and skilled lover, a man fifteen years his senior.

However, the fairy tale shattered at age twenty-seven when Jaewon spotted Sangeon in a place he should never have been. The man he thought he knew was gone, replaced by a stranger shrouded in secrets. Staring down the man who had been his entire world, Jaewon demands the cold, hard truth with a trembling heart: "Explain yourself. From the very beginning. Everything." Their lifelong bond now hangs by a fragile thread.
