Benevolent Violence

Beneath Seo Seon-Ui’s unassuming and gentle exterior lurks a deeply buried capacity for violence. He has spent years carefully suppressing his volatile nature, maintaining the illusion of a harmless student. That fragile control is shattered when Ohn Ju-Hyeok, a senior at his university, confronts him with damning footage of a brutal assault from Seon-Ui's past. Bracing himself for extortion or ruin, Seon-Ui prepares to face the consequences of his hidden history. Instead of demanding money or silence, Ju-Hyeok makes an unsettling request: he asks Seon-Ui to inflict that same violence upon him. Stunned by this taboo proposition, Seon-Ui initially attempts to distance himself from the older student, wary of the dangerous path such an interaction could open. Yet, despite his best efforts to walk away, Ju-Hyeok’s incomprehensible desire proves impossible to ignore. Slowly but inevitably, Seon-Ui is pulled into a dark and twisted relationship where the boundaries between pain and pleasure blur, forcing him to confront the very instincts he fought so hard to contain.
