Seventeen-year-old Bang Chan had spent four years marked by his brother's death. His sadness and regret were constant shadows. Like a rose, he showed thorns to push others away, hiding a residual warmth few ever saw. Seungmin, sixteen, the son of a prominent psychologist, understood the emotions of others. Observant and direct, he wasn't an easy person to fool. Sometimes, people arrive without warning and alter the course of a life more than anyone could imagine.
