Dunk has loved his stepfather, Joong, in silence since he was sixteen, though Joong has always kept him at arm's length, annoyed by Dunk's innocence and stubbornness. Now seventeen, Dunk feels invisible in a household dominated by his baby sibling and his mother's attention. In an attempt to protect his heart, he begins to distance himself—but his absence only makes Joong notice him more, stirring possessiveness, jealousy, and feelings he thought he could never have for his stepson. As family responsibilities, illness, and forbidden desire collide, Dunk and Joong find themselves caught between duty and longing in a tension-filled, slow-burning romance.
