Trainee (Maru)

Synopsis

In front of Woojoo, a boy who had lost interest in his tumultuous life, Pyeonghwa, a singer trainee, appeared as a presence more exciting, thrilling, and radiant than anything else. Woojoo had always thought that just watching Pyeonghwa debut from the sidelines would be enough, but before he knew it, he began to dream of standing by his side.

As Pyeonghwa approaches without hesitation, precious feelings begin to sprout in Woojoo, and those feelings build and build, eventually turning into a greedy desire called "love."

"I wish you never knew how I feel for the rest of my life. But I also wish you would know."

Yet, he knows. He knows it shouldn’t happen. Woojoo doesn’t want to be a burden to Pyeonghwa, who vowed not to date before or after his debut.

So then, how is Pyeonghwa’s heart moving right now? Behind the glamorous stage lies hidden sweat and tears. Even as Woojoo discovers the darker side of a world he thought was only beautiful, he cannot give up on staying by Pyeonghwa’s side.

A love story between a boy full of scars and another boy with his own wounds.
