On the quiet edges of a seaside town, Lee Sangwon lives in silence and solitude. With a fragile heart burdened by a chronic illness, Sangwon spends his remaining days walking the shoreline alone-finding solace in the rhythmic whisper of waves and the golden hues of sunset. He's a boy of few words, shrouded in mystery, carrying his pain with quiet grace. Enter Lee Leo, the embodiment of life and light-an energetic soul who thrives in the embrace of nature. Whether he's jet skiing across the waves, diving into the blue, or casting a line under the sun, Leo lives every moment to the fullest. But no matter how vibrant the day, his gaze always drifts to the distant figure by the shore: Sangwon. Drawn by curiosity and an inexplicable pull, Leo approaches Sangwon with a simple smile. What begins as quiet companionship slowly deepens into something neither of them expected-a bond formed not just from shared days under the sun, but from the moments of stillness between the tides. As Leo unravels Sangwon's story, he learns that love can bloom even in the face of impermanence. Together, they discover that while time may be fleeting, the connection between two hearts-one quiet, one full of life-can leave a lasting imprint, like footprints in the sand that the waves never quite erase. A story of healing, wonder, and a love as deep as the ocean.

A Promise, A Stage, and Two Names Side by Side.✩°｡ ⋆

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?

Childhood promises linger long after years of distance. Lee Sangwon and Lee Leo were inseparable as kids, bound by laughter, secrets, and a vow to always stay by each other's side. But when Leo leaves for the city, Sangwon is left behind, carrying a quiet love that grows in the shadows of his heart. Years later, Leo returns to their coastal hometown, and the reunion sparks a whirlwind of longing, jealousy, and unspoken truths. Sangwon struggles to navigate his feelings, while Leo grapples with the realization that he has always loved Sangwon too. Amid the gentle chaos of friendships, budding romances, and childhood memories, hearts are tested and confessions are made. As waves crash against the shore, old bonds are mended, new love begins, and two souls finally choose each other-breaking the silence that has held them apart for so long.

Sangwon, a dramatic soul with serious looks and too many thoughts, accidentally texts a complete stranger at 1 AM to rant about his annoying neighbor. But instead of ghosting, the stranger replies with curiosity. Leo, the soft-voiced text therapist who turns out to be... maybe a little too perfect. Between rants, sky photos, and suspiciously poetic late-night chats, two strangers start peeling away their walls, one message at a time.

Sangwon never thought sharing a single bed with Leo would mean anything more than late-night banter and shared warmth. But one unexpected request... one lingering touch... one quiet kiss... begins to blur the lines between friendship and something far more dangerous. In the small space of Sangwon's room, feelings grow that neither of them are ready to name - but both can't seem to avoid.
