Behind the spotlight, beneath the composure, there is a shadow self—one that aches, desires, and remembers what it is to be utterly, beautifully unraveled. This is a story about the space between the person the world sees and the one who exists in the quiet dark, and the single, secret night that blurred the line between them forever.

A depressed creative writing major An Yujin finds it difficult to get over her ex-girlfriend Jang Wonyoung, but a chance encounter with a certain Kim Gaeul begins to stir her monochrome life once more.

Some journeys take twenty hours. Some take two lifetimes. Chapter 27 is both — a mother crossing every distance a body can measure, with a man beside her who has vowed to hold what she cannot, waiting for the small, furious cry that will change the shape of every world they know.
