   Summary

   When the music stops and the "miracle" of time travel fails to return him home, 18-year-old Ha Eun-gyeol is forced to become the silent architect of his parents' future. After failing to prevent the accident that steals his father’s hearing, Eun-gyeol makes a haunting vow: he will stay in the past until his parents’ happiness is guaranteed. Living for thirty years as a shadow in his own family’s history, he becomes the "Guardian" of a life he can never officially claim—waiting for the day the universe finally allows him to go home.
