Seungcheol Choi is the epitome of college royalty. Handsome, arrogant, and indifferent to the world around him, he's used to getting his way. But his carefully cultivated facade cracks when he encounters Jeong-han Yoon, a quiet, kind soul battling inner demons. Jeong-han, despite his past, possesses an unwavering spirit that both fascinates and infuriates Seungcheol.
Their initial encounters are explosive, a clash of icy indifference and unexpected warmth. Seungcheol, convinced of his own superiority, is drawn to Jeonghan's vulnerability, a quality he's never seen before. Jeonghan, weary of the world's cruelty, finds himself inexplicably drawn to Seungcheol's raw intensity, a dangerous pull he desperately tries to resist.
As their attraction deepens, they must confront their own demons. Seungcheol must grapple with the emptiness beneath his privilege, while Jeonghan struggles to escape the shadows of his past. Their forbidden love threatens to expose their vulnerabilities and shatter the fragile worlds they've built. Can they overcome their differences and find solace in each other's arms?
