After a Meal

On a cold, snowy afternoon, Changdeok notices a high schooler huddled outside his go-to gukbap spot, snow quietly gathering on the boy’s shoulders. Curious and a bit wary, Changdeok is drawn in when the student claims he can recreate the exact taste of the gukbap Changdeok loves. Against his better instincts, he decides to bring the boy home. For someone like Changdeok, whose simple pleasures revolve around food, it’s hard to turn down Jongwoo’s offer: he’ll prepare a homemade dinner every evening in exchange for a place to stay—for just one month. Reluctantly, Changdeok agrees, setting the stage for an odd living arrangement. Yet, as days pass, there’s something unsettling about Jongwoo. He seems to be hiding more than just his culinary skills… isn’t he?
