Joo Yeonho has suffered from insomnia for the past five years.

Ever since the accident on the ski slope the day he went skiing. He lost all memory of the day the accident happened, and even the entire year before that.

When he returns to that same resort to prepare for his graduation exhibition, Yeonho comes face-to-face with a mysterious and beautiful man.

“What are you doing here, sneaking in and hiding like this? How did you even get in?”

What kind of business could anyone possibly have at a resort that hasn’t even opened yet?

“Sorry for being so blunt. You could’ve been dangerous, so I spoke firmly.”

“Why are you like this? Are you sick?”

But the man behaves like he knows Yeonho. No–like someone deeply close to him.

Gong: Kim Siwoo (age 21 → 26)

Black hair. He’s staying at the resort before it officially opens and introduces himself to Yeonho as an employee from the construction company conducting a safety inspection. But he’s hard to trust. He lurks around with suspicious intent, hiding his true motives. Yet he somehow manages to lull Yeonho into peaceful sleep in his arms.

Soo: Joo Yeonho (age 20 → 25)

Light brown hair. Son of the CEO of Platte Resort. He visits the resort to take photos for his graduation exhibition. After a ski accident at age 20, he lost a full year of memories. Now he suffers from severe insomnia and struggles with side effects from the sleeping pills he takes. He has a compulsion to document everything through photographs.

Read this when: You’re in the mood for a mystery romance where nothing feels true and everything feels off. Or when you want a dark, angsty reunion story tangled in misunderstandings and love-hate.

I really wonder why Kim Siwoo suddenly appeared in my life and keeps making me so anxious.

But I won’t ask.

My life has been so boring and dull…

I want to figure it out for myself. Slowly.

Even if it’s dangerous, that makes it more fun.
