Summary
Mark, a hopeless insomniac, ends up in a psychiatric clinic after years of pressure and sleepless nights finally catch up to him. He expects having to learn how to survive therapy sessions, restless nights, and the exhausting process of getting better. Instead, he stumbles into a whole new problem:
Donghyuck, his selectively mute roommate.
Because for a boy who doesn't speak, he somehow becomes the only person who makes Mark feel truly understood.
Getting attached was never part of the plan, yet as their bond grows into something neither of them knows how to name, Mark and Donghyuck are forced to confront a terrifying question:
How do you heal when the person you rely on is just as damaged as you are and holding on to them feels like the only thing keeping you alive?
