Synopsis
College convenience-store clerk Euijoon falls for mysterious gangster Geonwoo in dangerous neighborhood romance.
College student Yeo Euijoon has little going for him. To pay his living expenses, tuition, and even his comatose brother's hospital bills, Euijoon spends his nights working at a convenience store. However, it is by no means an ordinary store; it is situated in a dangerous neighborhood, and all sorts of crooks and gangsters tend to come by and stir up trouble. Still, Euijoon never loses his lively spark and greets everyone with a smile. Although most thugs pick fights with Euijoon, one tall, handsome, and well-dressed returning customer makes Euijoon all flustered. Beom Geonwoo is a man of very few words, slightly older than Euijoon, and certainly not a stranger to blood and violence. But Euijoon thinks him sweet, and when Geonwoo by chance catches Euijoon in a sticky personal situation, they start a casual fling that may just turn life-changing for the both of them.
