At Seoul Conservatory of Music, Ju Ha, a talented and mysterious third-year student, is known for his exceptional skills on the guitar. His style is modern, blending jazz, rock, and contemporary elements into something unique. However, there's something even more unusual about him: Ju Ha can sense things others can't - especially when it comes to the dead. He doesn't talk about it much, but for years he's been haunted by whispers and ghostly images, and it's through his music that he sometimes connects with the spirits.
Sea Do Yoon, a bright, energetic second-year student who plays drums, has always admired Ju Ha from a distance. He's captivated by Ju Ha's quiet intensity and the way he plays. However, Do Yoon has never had the courage to talk to him - until one fateful night when everything changes.
While exploring the old music building, an abandoned and eerie part of the campus, Ju Ha stumbles upon the body of a missing student - a young musician who had disappeared under mysterious circumstances a few months earlier. The discovery of the body shakes Ju Ha to his core. But even more chilling is the strange, almost musical energy surrounding the scene. He feels the presence of the student's restless spirit, and for the first time, he is forced to confront the dark reality of his supernatural abilities.
Do Yoon, who had been wandering the building nearby and had followed the sound of Ju Ha's guitar, arrives just in time to see Ju Ha standing over the body. Shocked, confused, and worried about Ju Ha's safety, Do Yoon rushes to his side. It's in this moment that Do Yoon realizes that something more is going on with Ju Ha than he ever imagined.
