Synopsis
A man remains obsessed with his childhood abuser for 14 years, craving freedom through their toxic bond.
When I was a kid, there was an older guy that I really liked. He was the only light in my world, but that light plunged me into darkness. Even so, I still yearned for him. Even if I was angry at him, but I still loved him. For 14 years... "Why don't you use me, why don't you need me? Why do you keep driving me crazy?" "Why do you care about such trivial things?" After meeting him, my childhood memories and my true nature started to resurface. I tried desperately to avoid him, but I became addicted to the feeling of freedom to have what I truly wanted...
