Aechaginhyeong

Ji-Heon has spent his days scraping by, surviving through a relentless cycle of part-time jobs just to make ends meet. His quiet, unremarkable life takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Do-Kyung, a young man he once cherished like a younger brother during their childhood. The two had shared a close bond years ago, but all contact was abruptly severed when Do-Kyung left the country for overseas studies. Now, after years of silence, they stand face-to-face once again, reopening a connection Ji-Heon thought was permanently lost to time and distance. When Do-Kyung casually suggests they share a drink to catch up, Ji-Heon sees no reason to decline his former companion's invitation. However, what begins as a simple reunion quickly spirals into something far more sinister. Shortly after accepting the offer, Ji-Heon loses consciousness and collapses without warning. When he finally regains his senses, the familiar warmth of their past is entirely gone. He finds himself bound and restrained, completely at Do-Kyung's mercy. Instead of offering any explanation for this sudden captivity, Do-Kyung simply looks at him and asks a chilling question: "But hyung... shouldn't you be thinking about something more important than this?"
