The Shape of Your Love

Unrequited love is a lesson Yo-Han learned early in life. As a child, he watched his older brother endure the quiet heartache of yearning for someone who could never love him back, and the experience carved a harsh truth into his heart: in matters of love, it is always the one who feels who ends up losing. It is a philosophy he has carried ever since—a shield against the vulnerability of wanting someone. So when Yo-Han notices his senior, Mu-Gyeong, quietly pining over another boy, he feels compelled to step in. Armed with the blunt motto "confess or give up," Yo-Han resolves to push Mu-Gyeong toward a decision—either pursue the boy he longs for, or let those feelings go before they consume him. There is just one complication Yo-Han never anticipated: somewhere along the way, the crush he was trying to help resolve becomes his own. The self-appointed expert on love's cruel lessons suddenly finds himself on the losing side of his own rule, trapped between the motto he has always lived by and feelings he can neither bring himself to confess nor simply abandon.
