Deep End Hearts

Est, a quiet but strong-willed student, lives his life in the shadows of the pool and his overprotective older brother Hong, who raised him like a parent after their cold, distant parents emotionally abandoned them. Est finds comfort in the water, where things feel weightless and free-unlike his tightly monitored life. Est's world is calm and predictable... until Willam storms into it. William is the school's notorious heartbreaker- cold, calculated, and emotionally unavailable. The kind of guy who can steal your heart with one glance, then pretend you don't exist. But behind the perfect smirk and practiced shrugs, William hides a loneliness of his own. When Hong's successful cafe/art space business sponsors the school's swim team, Est is reluctantly pushed into doing promotions for it. To make matters worse, William-who's doing photography for the student magazine- is assigned to cover the team. At first, William sees Est as another pretty face, But Est doesn't fall for his charms. In fact, he's frustratingly indifferent. That irritates... until it intrigues him.
