Baek Na-eon lost his beloved partner of five years in a tragic car accident.
Just as he was barely beginning to process the grief, he was soon overwhelmed by harsh realities: his younger sibling’s medical bills and problems stemming from his father’s work.

Then one day, a man who looks exactly like his dead lover suddenly appears before him—Choi Ki-won, the younger brother of Ji-won.

Ki-won offers a suspicious kind of kindness to Na-eon, who is already struggling to survive each day.

“Wanna date me? If you go out with me, I can take responsibility for your brother’s treatment.”
“I dated your brother for five years.”
“Perfect. His face? His money? You probably liked that stuff, right? I’m pretty similar, aren’t I?”

Eventually pushed to the edge, Na-eon takes his hand—without realizing that what he’s grasping is poison.

“If you behave, I’ll keep treating you nicely. So, how about you take it off for me?”

“…What?”

But the salvation Na-eon thought he’d found, turned out to be a rotting lifeline,
and by the time he realized Ki-won’s true nature, it was already too late to run.

“I told you I want us to have a good relationship. Why aren’t you answering me?”
