Memory loss might be a curse. But remembering... could be a death sentence. Hwang Yeji, a brilliant and formidable detective, lost a significant portion of her life's memories in a tragic explosion at Incheon Port. Since that night, she has felt a hollow void in her chest-a fragment of the past that has been deliberately and deeply buried by the police force. Always by her side is Shin Ryujin: her detective partner who is cold, mysterious, and always keeps her at a distance. Yeji assumes Ryujin is simply a coworker who doesn't care for her. She has no idea that every night, behind the shadows of Seoul, Ryujin allows her own body to be broken and bloodied, acting as a secret shield to protect Yeji from the crosshairs of a deadly cartel. As a conspiracy of betrayal from within the police department begins to unravel, Yeji's memories slowly claw their way back. She finally realizes that Ryujin is not a stranger. The woman in the black suit who has always protected her is the missing piece of her soul-her past love who was willing to endure trauma and physical torture entirely alone just so Yeji could stay alive. In a battlefield filled with bullets, blood, and lies... can their love survive a second time?

Three and a half years into their career, I-T-Z-Y is known for being flawless, tight performances, sold-out shows, perfect harmony. On stage, everything is controlled. Off stage, Ryujin is a mystery no one dares to question. She comes and goes at odd hours, hides bruises beneath long sleeves, and keeps secrets that don't belong in a rehearsal room. Yeji is the first to notice the silence between the notes, the way Ryujin's smiles don't reach her eyes anymore. What starts as concern slowly turns into something deeper, something dangerous, as Yeji is pulled into Ryujin's world, a place filled with unspoken rules, risky choices, and feelings neither of them can afford. Because when love enters a life already on the edge, one wrong step can throw everything out of tune.

Ryujin plays bass for Midzfits, an indie band that's loud, and messy. Yeji plays the piano-She's elegant, quiet, and everything Ryujin claims to hate. Ryujin hates classical music. So why exactly was she sleeping with the pianist of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra? Maybe it was supposed to be casual. Maybe it was supposed to mean nothing. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to pretend it's just about the music.
