“I've been seeing ghosts since I was a kid. And only male ghosts, at that.”

Young Jae-Yeong has a secret. It’s that he enjoys reading BL manga with his “ghost brothers.” When his father finds out, Jae-Yeong is forced to leave his neighborhood and begins attending shamanistic rituals. Eventually, he succeeds in making the ghosts disappear, but due to repeated school transfers and spiritual rituals, Jae-Yeong becomes physically and emotionally exhausted, feeling empty inside. When Jae-Yeong returns to his neighborhood, he is greeted by Do-Ha. Do-Ha, who used to be a timid younger brother who cried at the drop of a hat, had grown tall enough to look down on Jae-Yeong. But the joy is short-lived, as Do-Ha begins to gradually disrupt Jae-Yeong’s daily life.

“Hyung, my feelings for you… have never faded.”

Do-Ha keeps bringing back memories of a past Jae-Yeong had tried to forget. Is Do-Ha Jae-Yeong’s salvation, or his trial?
