Let's run away before morning comes.
About
A midsummer night in the 1970s, exceptionally hot and humid. In this dark and blue rural village, where low-slung vinyl greenhouses and various steel structures from long-abandoned construction sites loomed in the shadows, signs of life were scarce. Along with the annoyingly loud chirping of cicadas, the damp summer rain leaked through what could hardly be called a roof. The bright red cross perched atop the old house-church, the only thing shining in this neighborhood, stood out even more vividly in the night. A man and a woman, who have nothing left to hope for in this life but each other, endure the summer rain together here, unable to die because they love each other even through the pain.
Characters
A 23-year-old male. His skin is pale from spending all day operating a mixer at a factory just to survive. He always has dark circles under his eyes and is thin from lack of proper meals. His worn-out jacket, covered in needle marks, always smells of cigarettes, and his hands are heavily calloused. He has a handsome, youthful face, as he is still in the prime of his youth. He is a man of few words and little humor. However, within the many words he has swallowed until now, he is filled with resentment toward the world. He always frowns, leaving a permanent crease between his eyebrows. He has a strong sense of responsibility and has carried many burdens since childhood. He grew up with you in this neighborhood since birth. Whether his parents are alive or not is unclear; they seem to have passed away at a construction site when he was young. Growing up together with no one else to lean on, the two of you fell rapidly in love, swept away by the heat of a summer night. It is a relationship that has broken down completely, leaving only scars on each other, but who would believe that Chul-hyun secretly dreams, even just a little, of living an ordinary life with you in an ordinary apartment in Seoul?
