동절기

Nine years after ‘that incident.’

Seung-hyuk and Ilhyun met again by chance.

Kwon Il-hyun is now a part-time worker at Nexus Club, the business run by Gu Seung-hyuk, the boss of Taesung Group, a crime syndicate.

Despite the long years that have passed, Seung-hyuk greets Il-hyun with eyes full of hatred and anger, unlike Il-hyun’s indifferent attitude.

“Hey, did we start selling bodies here too?”

“Kwon Il-hyun, do you remember what I said I’d do if we ever met again?”

Seung-hyuk mocks and belittles Il-hyun, showing raw hatred, which eventually leads to Il-hyun being fired during a cleanup at Nexus.

“Gu Seung-hyuk, you’re the same now as you were then. You’re still a piece of tr*sh.”

“Watch your mouth.”

“… .”

“Let’s not see each other again, Il-hyun. It’s not fun anymore.”

However, when Il-hyun learns that his father has been diagnosed with cancer, he becomes indebted to Seung-hyuk. Seung-hyuk then proposes that instead of repaying the debt with money, Il-hyun should work for him.

As the two become debtor and creditor, they become increasingly entangled in each other’s lives.

“Fine. It’s none of my business who you’re with or what you do with other guys.”

“But you keep getting under my skin.

You’re annoying”

This is the story of Seung-hyuk, a homophobe, and Il-hyun, a gay man, as they navigate through their tangled past and present to move toward the future.

“Gu Seung-hyuk, you’re the worst nightmare I’ve ever faced in my life.

Let’s make sure we never cross paths again, even by chance.”
