Synopsis
Yoon Bum is a quiet and fragile man who has spent years feeling isolated and unwanted. His only source of comfort is his crush on Oh Sangwoo, a popular and charismatic classmate. Over time, his admiration turns into an obsession, leading him to stalk Sangwoo and eventually break into his house. What he finds inside is nothing like the person he imagined. Instead of the charming guy he admired from afar, Sangwoo is a violent and sadistic killer who has been keeping a woman captive in his home. Before Bum can escape, he’s caught—and instead of turning him in, Sangwoo decides to keep him as well.
Now trapped, Bum is forced into a twisted and abusive relationship where Sangwoo toys with his emotions, blurring the lines between fear, dependency, and a desperate desire for affection.
