Poetic Justice

Joo-Heon and Seo Kang-Woo met at a university drinking party, were drawn to each other, and became lovers after a one-night stand . Kang-Woo expected a normal relationship, but Joo-Heon's rough and unruly behavior, seemingly devoid of emotion at crucial moments, ultimately leads to a breakup.

"You're the kind of person who can't love anyone, so live alone and never see anyone again."

Joo-Heon tries to appear calm, but Kang-Woo's absence makes him increasingly worn out, and he finally seeks out Kang-Woo in a precarious state and holds him captive.

"I'll fix that, even though I was sometimes harsh. I won't do it again... Just stay like this for ten minutes, no, just one minute."

Kang-Woo can't refuse Joo-Heon's desperate plea, almost pathetic, and ends up accepting him. The painful regret and intense love of two people who have lived completely different lives— and the law of cause and effect.
