   Summary

   Kang Pio is brutally humiliated in public and replaced by Lee Min Sung to play the Nemesis. He never got another chance to deliver the piece that Choi Jeongyo composed for him. While the concerto was widely successful and Choi Jeongyo returned to his rightful place as the musical prodigy, Kang Pio slowly fades into the background.

   With a secret that he chooses to shoulder forever for the sake of his mother's life, he retreats from the world that took immense joy in picking him apart when he was at his lowest.

   This is a tale of Choi Jeongyo's retribution and Kang Pio's absolution.
