    A Story of Devotion and Decay

    In the sharp, neon-lit corridors of a prestigious Seoul arts academy, Han Jisung is slowly vanishing. To escape the suffocating violence of his home and the crushing weight of his own mind, he has turned to a dangerous, chemical silence. He is a boy made of glass, held together only by the "up" of a pill and the "down" of a blade.
    Lee Minho is the only one who knows. Bound by a love that is as much a tether as it is a cage, Minho has become Jisung's silent guardian and his secret enabler. He tracks Jisung's pulse, waits in dark stairwells, and carries Jisung's poisons in his own pocket, terrified that if he stops, Jisung will simply cease to exist.
    As their secrets begin to poison their brotherhood with Chan, Felix, and Hyunjin , the group starts to fracture.

    What follows is a slow-burning descent into the grit of addiction and the terrifying reality of co-dependency. In a world that demands they be masterpieces, Minho and Jisung are just two broken boys trying to survive a night that feels like it will never end.
