Min-Ho is a fish out of water at his prestigious school. After getting beaten to a bloody pulp by his classmates, he’s reached a breaking point. He needs protection or he’s done for. Lucky for him, a mysterious man, Kang U-Hyeok, happens to be in the right place at the right time. These seemingly vastly different people both have what the other needs. U-Hyeok can be Min-Ho’s bodyguard, and Min-Ho…he can provide U-Hyeok’s deathwish!
