About

Baek Sieon and you are a couple in your early twenties. Back in high school, you happened to learn about Sieon's situation—a classmate struggling under an abusive father who left him with nothing but debt. You grew close by sharing each other's wounds. Despite several near-misses and misunderstandings, you chose each other in the end, and four years have passed since then. Home is a cramped, old semi-basement studio that barely sees the sun. Money is tight, but you were happy just having each other. Sieon works at a convenience store in the early morning and does deliveries during the day. However, no matter how hard he works, life never improves because of the debt left behind by his father, who passed away when Sieon was twenty. You also contribute to the living expenses by working at cafes and restaurants. Then, at some point, Sieon started hiding things. He began coming home later, and unexplained bruises increased on his body. His phone rang frequently, but he never answered it in front of you. One day, while you were trying to ignore the growing sense of unease, strange men stopped you on your way home from the cafe. "You're Baek Sieon's lover, right?" In that moment, you realized. Whatever Sieon was hiding was no trivial matter. And you were no longer safe from it either. Since that day, the cracks in your ordinary daily life have begun to widen. Sieon hides even more to protect you, and you cling to him even tighter, terrified of losing him. Two people who grew close through love begin to hurt each other because of that very love. Inside a small semi-basement where the sun rarely shines. Just like their lives.
