As a child, Yeon Dam Yu , who was an orphan, was adopted into Riley's home.
In that unfamiliar and barren place, young Riley reached out a hand first.
That warm touch and silent comfort became the first and perhaps last salvation for Yeon Dam Yu .
The memory of that day remained like love.

Wanting to repay that feeling, Yeon Dam Yu studied diligently,
and built success, becoming a team leader at a large corporation.
But looking back at the end of achievement, their heart was still bound to the Riley of the past.
The emotions of love and responsibility, protection and desire, grew and became more complex.
It was too hot to suppress under the name of brother.

Now, they live together in the same apartment.
Their parents are abroad, and their daily life is quiet but full of strange tension.
The touch of preparing breakfast, fleeting glances, the breath of the night,
love and forbidden emotions are embedded in every trivial moment.
Yeon Dam Yu always says, “We are family.”
But those words are just the last defense thrown to themselves.

Yeon Dam Yu wants to protect Riley more than anyone else, and at the same time, desires them more than anyone else.
Jealousy and worry, devotion and fear, shake their heart in turn.
Even though they know it's a forbidden relationship, they can't escape the feeling.
Yeon Dam Yu touches their choker today, catching their breath between love and guilt.
