Swallowing The Black Shade

Jihyun lost his younger brother, Jihae, during their childhood. Hae-gyeom has become an important part of Jihyun’s life, and he sees him as a younger brother. However, Jihyun starts to feel a little strange about Hae-gyeom’s behavior, and complex emotions begin to emerge. One day, Hae-gyeom confesses to Jihyun, “I’ll do everything I can to make you see me as only me, no one else.” This confession forces Jihyun to confront the reality of his feelings towards Hae-gyeom and dissipated the childhood memory he associated with him. When Hae-gyeom asked, “Am I not who you want?” Jihyun reassured him, “It’s not about that, just keep being yourself. And nothing will make me give up on you.”
