Kim Jiho hides himself among the pages of the books he loves. As a quiet and reserved Literature student, he avoids the spotlight and finds solace in the written word. Yoo Seungmin, on the other hand, is everything Jiho is not—charismatic, bold, and always the center of attention as a Theater major. Yet, behind Seungmin’s playful smile lies a vulnerability he keeps well-hidden. When an interdisciplinary project forces their paths to cross, their worlds collide in ways neither expected. Jiho’s cautious, methodical nature clashes with Seungmin’s chaotic charm, but as they work together, something deeper begins to stir—feelings they both struggle to understand. However, their growing connection faces threats from every direction. Junwoo, Seungmin’s ambitious rival, is determined to exploit their weaknesses for his gain, while Eunji, a ghost from Seungmin’s past, reappears with secrets and motives that could unravel everything. Caught between the silence of Jiho’s world and the noise of Seungmin’s stage, the two must navigate not only external obstacles but also their own fears and insecurities. In a story where words and performances can deceive, the truth they uncover about each other—and themselves—might change their lives forever.
