Read

The story begins with the unforgettable incident where he accidentally kicked his future partner during their very first meeting.

“So dense. He doesn’t even mention it when he’s hurt.” Leaning against the clinic wall, one character shook his head, exasperated. Meanwhile, the ‘dense one’ was internally marveling, “He’s so nice, even helping me buy medicine.”

This seemingly simple person had endured such profound pain, a brokenness so severe that his hands trembled, afraid to try and piece himself back together.

“Come to me,” he called out again, looking at the scars on the other’s hand. “Yes, I want it. Very much, I want it.” He finally heard the cry of his own heart.

The main character was a highly talented art student whose life trajectory was drastically altered by the despicable actions of a former lover. Unable to cope psychologically, he developed an illness that prevented him from holding a brush. To heal himself, he traveled extensively until he opened a small shop across from a sports university. The other character is a freshman athlete at the university, currently facing a career low due to injury. The two meet unexpectedly and, through their interactions, are gradually drawn to each other, offering mutual healing.
