Synopsis
Model student Jinhyuk's routine life changes after witnessing classmate Heechan's abuse, forcing their paths to cross.
Jinhyuk is a model student. Studious. Hardworking. He can't wait till the day he has his own place and his own car. He knows that the only way he can achieve his dreams is to go to a top-tier university. He's fine with his repetitive daily routine of school and studying. That is, until one day, while taking a shortcut through a rougher neighborhood, he sees a kid that looks familiar. That kid...they're in the same homeroom together, aren't they? But he's not the kind of person Jinhyuk would get mixed up with. He's the kind of person that grows up to be a lowlife. Jinhyuk was raised better than that. But...that kid, what's his name...Heechan was it? He's getting beat up by his dad. No, just keep walking. He should have nothing to do with Heechan, but something seems to keep making their paths cross... This feeling of ennui that Jinhyuk has, is Heechan what he needs to shake it?
