In a snow-covered village wrapped in silence and mystery, lives Lee Sangwon-a man beloved by all. With his sweet smile, childlike wonder, and endless generosity, he seems incapable of harm. Every day, Sangwon crafts handmade chocolates and hands them out to his neighbors, a simple act of kindness that warms the coldest of winters. But behind his gentle exterior hides something far more sinister. Sangwon is not the innocent soul everyone believes him to be-he is twisted, unhinged, and quietly consumed by obsession. To him, love between others is an unbearable mockery. Couples who flaunt their happiness ignite a dark fury within him. His chocolates, once thought to be gifts of affection, become instruments of death-poisoned delicacies that silently erase every pair who dares to be in love. Each death is followed by Sangwon's secret celebrations, his childish glee masking the horror of his crimes. His ultimate goal: to rid the village of love entirely. As mysterious deaths spread through the village, suspicion grows, and fear lingers in the icy air. To uncover the truth, Detective Lee Leo is sent to investigate. Calm, perceptive, and unyielding, Leo becomes the village's last hope of ending the unseen terror. Yet his presence unsettles Sangwon in ways he does not expect. Though Sangwon fears men and instinctively recoils from them, Leo's quiet determination slowly cracks the walls Sangwon has built around his broken heart. What begins as a hunt for a killer twists into something far more dangerous-an unsettling bond between detective and murderer. As Leo draws closer to the truth, Sangwon finds himself torn between his desire to destroy love and the strange, unfamiliar warmth blooming within him. In a village blanketed by snow and haunted by death, can love truly exist-or will Sangwon's darkness consume it before it has a chance to take root?

In a quiet corner of the world, a poor boy named Lee Sangwon lives in silence and wonder-his days spent observing life from afar, studying the rhythms of people who pass by, the joys they carry, and the warmth he's never known. A boy whose life lingers in soft melancholy, Sangwon never quite steps into the sunlight, only watches it fall on others. Each afternoon, he sits in the same hidden spot, eyes drawn to a soccer field where boys his age run, laugh, and live with a freedom he cannot touch. He watches, always watching, never daring to ask what it feels like to be one of them. Until one day, when most have already gone home, only one boy remains-Lee Leo, practicing with determined steps under the fading sun. He notices Sangwon watching, just as he always has. But this time, Leo walks toward him. "Do you want to play?" With that simple question, Sangwon's world begins to shift. What follows is a tender journey of discovery, as Leo brings Sangwon into the brightness of his world. From quiet corners to busy streets, from new hobbies to small acts of courage, Leo teaches him what it means to live-not just exist. Through shared laughter, gentle encouragement, and long talks beneath starlit skies, the two boys slowly grow inseparable. And in the space between passing glances and lingering touches, something even deeper begins to blossom-love.
