Everyone thinks Sunghoon is mute.
He isn't.
After years of trauma and abuse, speaking feels impossible, so he spends his days alone on the same lunch bench, hidden behind headphones and silence.
Then Jake sits beside him.
At first, it's nothing.
A shared bench.
A few snacks.
An umbrella left behind.
Small gestures that slowly become a friendship neither of them can explain.
While the rest of the world asks Sunghoon to be different, Jake never does. He learns sign language just to understand him. He waits through the silence. He stays through the panic attacks, the nightmares, and the bad days.
And somehow, without realizing it, Sunghoon begins to heal.
What starts as a quiet friendship grows into something deeper-a love story built on trust, patience, stolen hoodies, accidental confessions, imaginary seven-child family plans, and countless moments that change both of their lives forever.
A story about healing after trauma, finding your voice, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves you isn't the one who fixes you-
They're the one who simply sits beside you and never leaves.
This is a heartwarming romance about two boys who learn that love isn't always loud.
Sometimes, it's found in the silence.
