To avenge his sister’s death, Cheon Seju gave up everything and joined the faction organization that took her from him. Cold, methodical, and resigned to a life of violence, he never expected to feel anything again—until he met Sejin. A boy with the same eyes as his sister. A moment of hesitation. A small act of kindness. That was all it took. If Seju had known how heavy that kindness would become, he never would’ve let Sejin in.

“I told you. It was always you first…”

What began as a distant bond turns into something deeper, something neither of them can ignore. Sejin only looked because Seju looked first. He only followed because Seju held out his hand. And somewhere along the way, he fell in love with the man who never meant to be loved. But Seju keeps drifting further out of reach. And Sejin is done waiting.

"If you won't come to me, I'll come to you."
“You’re all I have left now...”

A slow-burn love that began with a mistake—and became the only thing keeping them alive.
