Kim Seungmin is a quiet, misunderstood high school student who struggles to connect with others. His naturally pale skin, soft features, and reserved personality make him an easy target for rumors—some say he’s cold, others whisper he might be dangerous. In reality, Seungmin is just shy and doesn’t know how to express himself well.

Enter Hwang Hyunjin, the school’s charismatic and well-loved student. With his bright smile, easygoing nature, and ability to make friends with everyone, he’s the complete opposite of Seungmin. Hyunjin first notices Seungmin when he sees him sitting alone under a tree, reading a book. Intrigued by his quiet presence, Hyunjin decides to reach out—much to Seungmin’s confusion.

At first, Seungmin is hesitant to accept Hyunjin’s kindness, but as the two spend more time together, he starts to open up. Hyunjin helps Seungmin find his voice, while Seungmin teaches Hyunjin the beauty of silence and deep connections. However, their growing closeness doesn’t go unnoticed, and rumors begin to swirl.

Will Seungmin have the courage to face his fears and embrace the warmth Hyunjin offers? And will Hyunjin prove that his friendship—and maybe something more—is real, no matter what anyone else says?
