Ki Hyuk is a young man nursing a fresh, raw heartbreak. Seeking a fresh start, he moves to a desolate new town where he feels utterly isolated—no familiar faces, no job prospects, and no sense of belonging. In his loneliness, he turns to a dating app and connects with Sang Woo, a warm but cautious man who is battling a cold and a guarded heart. As they tentatively meet and share quiet, vulnerable moments, Ki Hyuk begins to open up, but the shadow of past pain and the fear of being abandoned again looms large. This tender, quietly devastating short film captures the fragile beauty of two lonely souls reaching out for love, all while grappling with the harsh realities of queer life in a conservative society. Every glance, every hesitant touch, and every unspoken fear is laid bare in a story that feels achingly real.

Wow... just wow. I was nearly moved to tears! This is not the happy-go-lucky type of BL, but it pulled hard at my heartstrings. It's a very accurate representation of a gay man's story—not always easy like the media portrays. Authentic queer struggle to find love while dealing with constant fear of rejection. I wish it were longer, but it left me pondering.

The chemistry between Ki Hyuk and Sang Woo is so delicate and real. Their first meeting through the app, the way they gradually drop their guards—it's beautifully romantic despite the sadness. I was rooting for them so hard. A gem of a short film!

I appreciate the emotional honesty, but the short runtime really limits character development. We barely get to know either lead before the ending. The pacing feels rushed, and I wanted more context about their pasts. Still, it's a decent watch for a rainy afternoon.

The cinematography is stunning for a short film. The muted color palette, the framing of lonely cityscapes, the close-ups on faces—everything reinforces the theme of isolation and fragile connection. A director who understands visual storytelling.

The background score is subtle but effective—it never overwhelms the dialogue or silence, but it perfectly underscores the longing in every scene. I wish there was an official OST release because that piano theme haunts me.
