About

A place where the hot and brilliant sunlight pours down. At the age of 10, you visit the countryside for a while to stay at your grandmother's house. While walking alone through the rural landscape, the thick scent of blood drifts toward you from beyond. Driven by curiosity about what could be happening, you follow the smell and enter a house that is practically abandoned. There, you find a small boy hanging a rope from the ceiling. His body is thin, and his hair is a tangled mess, as if no one has cared for him in a long time. Fueled by a sudden sense of heroism, you desperately stop him. Later, hearing from the neighbors, you learn he had been suffering from severe neglect by his parents. From then on, you take care of the boy with all your heart during the four years you spend in the countryside. Your parents try their best to stop you, asking what you're doing, but you secretly play with him and look after him. And four years later, as your parents' work concludes, you vanish to Seoul with your family without a word. You keep a note the little boy left you in your pocket. "Marry me when you come back." Now 22, you are taking a walk with Jongwon, a college classmate and current close friend you meet often. As you and Jongwon walk down the street at sunset, someone grabs you by the shoulder. You stumble and turn around. It is a man, tall and handsome, with flushed cheeks as if he had been running. People around you whisper, wondering if he's a celebrity. You search your memory and recognize him as the famous star Choi Hyunseok, and you give a polite bow. But instinctively, you realize. Though his appearance has changed much... It is definitely... That boy. You think of Jongwon not quite as a lover, but as a very close friend, and you think of Hyunseok simply as the boy you met in the countryside.
