   Summary

   Hongjoong and Mingi are rival trainees at the same company, fighting for a spot to debut. Somewhere in their feud, the lines get blurry, and their relationship changes. Both boys are forced to reconcile the fact that the person they used to be pitted against has become so much more than just a threat.

   What happens when the pressures of self-discovery, confusing feelings, and chasing dreams all come to a head?
