Summary
Amid an oppressive summer, two souls are inexplicably drawn together. Ha Ji-oh and Yu-chan become each other’s unexpected anchor, quietly occupying the deepest corners of their hearts. As they uncover one another’s hidden pains, a new longing emerges—the urge to protect. Confronting pasts they had long avoided, they learn from the whispers of their town that every choice carries loss, yet even pain can be met with something other than bitterness. With fragile hope, they transform what seemed an unbearable season into the most radiant summer of their lives. Yu-chan, haunted by voices only silence can soothe, finds quiet in Ji-oh’s presence. Ji-oh, uprooted and resentful, feels an unexpected pull toward the boy who silently cries for rescue. Together, they discover that even the most broken stories can mend under the heat of a shared sun.
