Synopsis
Perfect student Minjae cares for cold guardian Hyukjoon, unaware of their complex, painful shared past.
Minjae is the perfect student - smart, handsome, and thoughtful. He wakes up early to cook breakfast for Hyukjoon, his guardian, and returns home each evening to prepare dinner. He keeps their shared living space immaculate and tends to every need with the dedication of a devoted family member. With aspirations to become a teacher just like Hyukjoon, Minjae seems to embody everything one could hope for in a son. Yet beneath this picture of domestic harmony lies a relationship marked by unspoken tension. Hyukjoon, once a loving father figure, now regards Minjae with a distant coldness that no amount of kindness seems to penetrate. As Minjae continues his daily rituals of care and respect, he remains unaware that the man he calls father harbors feelings far more complex than simple disappointment - feelings rooted in a past that neither of them can escape.
