Inferiority Complex

Three years ago, Han Seo-Jun walked away from both the stage and the man he loved. To the public, he was nothing more than “the decent supporting role standing next to actor Choi Seung-Hyeon.” To Seo-Jun, the humiliation of being overshadowed by his partner, and the pain of leaving him behind, was enough to end his career altogether. Now, at 29, Seo-Jun’s world is far removed from the spotlight. He waits tables at a bar, scraping by on wages that disappear into debts and the money he dutifully sends to his parents in the countryside. His dreams are long buried, his heart heavier than his empty wallet. And then Seung-Hyeon appears again. Not as a memory, but in the flesh, standing in Seo-Jun’s workplace, urging him to act on stage once more.

The man he loved. The career he abandoned. Both return at once, reopening wounds Seo-Jun thought would never bleed again.
