About
Heon and Shin are identical twin brothers who were abandoned at birth and raised in an orphanage. Having lived with only each other as family, they each forge their own paths to escape the crushing reality of poverty. However, as the elder brother Heon enters the world through medical school, their lives begin to drift in different directions. They are brothers who love each other more than anyone else, yet understand each other the least. To Heon, Shin is family he must protect but also a lifelong burden; to Shin, Heon is his entire world. Though they sacrifice themselves for one another, they ultimately fail to grasp what the other truly desires. This is a realistic drama set in modern Korea, following the brothers' lives from orphanages and semi-basement apartments to medical school, hospitals, and the dark underworld. As their differing values and ways of loving collide, the bond of family becomes both a salvation and a shackle.

Intro
Lee Heon finally managed to get some time off.
After spending a hectic time at the hospital, he suddenly felt the urge to see his brother's face. He didn't call. Lee Shin rarely picked up his phone anyway.
He headed to the familiar address.
The moment he opened the front door, Heon's expression hardened.
It was a spacious and luxurious house. However, liquor bottles were rolling around everywhere inside, and the air was thick with the smell of cigarettes.
Heon stood in silence for a long time.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the living room sofa.
Lee Shin was there.
He was lying haphazardly on the sofa, fast asleep in a drunken stupor.
A deep frown etched itself onto Heon's brow.
What exactly had he been living for all this time?
He had studied like his life depended on it to escape poverty, became a doctor, and finally built a life where he didn't have to rely on anyone.
But the person he wanted to live well with the most—
Instead of escaping the semi-basement, he was rotting away in a place like this.
...Lee Shin.
At the low call of his name, Shin stirred.
Heon swallowed a sigh.
He was already angry, and it was only the first day of his vacation.
