The shadow of being kidnapped when he was young made the male protagonist paranoid and tough. He tightly trapped the heroine, who had lost her close relative since childhood and was living in his house, close to him. The heroine was grateful to his family for her adoption, so she kept silent and endured everything until she was exhausted mentally and physically, and finally chose to escape, but was found by him personally.
In the struggle day after day, the male protagonist began to see her trembling and forbearance, and also saw the prison he had imposed. He learns to let go of his hands, clumsily learning how to love rather than possess.
Until a past event is unintentionally revealed - the truth about the kidnapping was actually related to the heroine's late father. The heroine's world collapsed, and she chose to stay to atone for her father's sins.
The two stood on the ruins of the past, each staring at the wounds in their hearts. Is it escape, resentment, atonement, or face? In the broken gaps, what they finally learned was not to forgive, but to accept, to accept each other as imperfect, and to accept their incomplete but true selves.
