To his surprise, his desk mate, the charming class president, also harbours a secret love for Japanese music. What begins as quiet camaraderie soon deepens into a tender and unspoken emotional connection. Set in a time when South Korean society remained unaccepting of diverse sexual identities. The film explores how young men navigated love and desire under the weight of cultural conservatism. Against a backdrop of South Korean and Japanese cultural interplay, this coming-of-age tale captures the beauty of adolescent affection, self-discovery, and the quiet ache of forbidden love.
