A lonely boy who's longing for someone found himself falling in love and risking his heart after deciding to join his childhood friend's band. *** With a dead father and an always busy mother, Vasily Jiang Vagankov is always left alone at home. Loneliness wasn't an issue at first, but when his childhood friend got distant, he was forced to deal with his own monsters that were slowly eating him up. It didn't even help that, because of his stupidity, his schoolmates found out he's gay, and thus the bullying began. Bruised and scratched everyday, Vasily wanted to ask for help but was constantly stopped by the idea of burdening someone and being embarrassed about who he really is. But, in the midst of dealing with his bullies, his sexuality crisis, and the fact that his family, especially his mother, is homophobic, his life took a new turn when he learned that his now-distant childhood friend's band was looking for a new guitarist. The help he's been wanting arrived in front of him in the form of a saint -- a handsome lead guitarist, Saint Laurent Seong. Will he finally be able to get out of the hole in which he's living and shout for help or will he be afraid forever? *** TRIGGER WARNINGS AHEAD. PLEASE READ WITH PRECAUTION.
