Consumed by extensive amounts of self-hatred and held hostage by a myriad of tenacious voices in his head constantly telling him he's not enough, Park Jimin finds himself hiding his pain behind small smiles and long-sleeved shirts. Every day he is pulled further into the dark depths of his mind, his sanity withering with every tear of his wrist and every skipped meal, his will to continue living seemingly no longer existent.

Though when Kim Taehyung, an incredibly kind-hearted and empathetic nineteen-year-old boy with a love for music, meets Jimin, he slowly comes to see all the pain hidden behind the soft-spoken words of his classmate.
