Amidst those living for revenge, a hindrance named love blooms.
Do-won, who became a shell of a person after being deceived by his beloved partner, who filmed a snuff video while violating him, now relies on psychiatric medication to get through each day. One day, a man named Seo Ji-han appears before him, claiming he will take revenge on his behalf and asking for a somewhat unreasonable ‘request’ from the wounded Do-won…

“Who… are you? Where is this…?”
I couldn’t even turn my head to look and pulled the blanket closer. The appearance of the unfamiliar man, who looked quite large at a glance, was enough to make my body curl up in fear of men since that day.
“My house. If you’re awake, come out?”
He didn’t answer my question and just said what he wanted before leaving the door open and walking out. I hesitated for a moment, but remembering that this man had helped me when I collapsed in the park, I decided to muster my courage. I followed him out through the open door.
“Um… thank you.”
“For what?”
The man was sitting on the sofa. I bowed my head and expressed my gratitude, of course, from a distance of more than five steps away.
“Didn’t you help me because I was… collapsed?”
“Ha. You thought that?”
“Yes?”
His reaction didn’t seem like a response to my thanks. I wondered, ‘What’s going on?’ and lifted my head to look at the man. He was turning on the large TV.
“Forget that and watch this.”
“….Ah..”
The man twisted his lips into a smile and plugged a USB into the TV, playing a video saved in a folder dated 2015.07.25. The video hadn’t started yet, but an unsettling feeling wrapped around me as if I already knew what was coming. A tingling sensation rose from my toes as the blood stopped circulating.
[…Please… Ugh… Please help me… Hyung… Please…]
Ah, it was that day. The camera was so high-quality that my face was captured clearly. My limp hand trembled uncontrollably. I knew of the video’s existence but had never seen it, so encountering it in reality was shocking.
The video from that day filled the large screen, so horrific that I couldn’t even blink. I cried and crawled on the floor, desperately trying to bow my head to my former lover and abuser, who didn’t appear on the screen, but it was useless.
[Don’t do it…! Ah! You bastards!! I said don’t!!]
As I struggled against the merciless hands, they pinned me down, forcing their fingers into the already blood-soaked hole. I couldn’t hold back any longer and screamed as I watched one, two, three fingers being shoved in simultaneously.
“Turn it… off!!!!”
The man sitting across from me expressionlessly picked up the remote and turned off the screen.
“Who are you!! What are you…”
“Don’t you want revenge?”
