Outside the Door

Synopsis

Reclusive and withdrawn, Tae-jeong has spent years shut away from the world, surviving in the quiet suffocation of his own room. But when his father is suddenly hospitalized due to a car accident, even that fragile isolation begins to crumble. Grief and fear twist together inside him, leaving only one outlet, an uneasy rush of desire that both calms and consumes him. Enter Eun-won, the golden boy who has everything Tae-jeong doesn’t: confidence, charm, a life untouched by loneliness. He looks at Tae-jeong with disdain, pity, and something darker, an attraction he refuses to name. As the line between disgust and desire blurs, both are drawn into a dangerous intimacy born from guilt, curiosity, and longing. What begins as comfort becomes compulsion, and behind locked doors, Tae-jeong and Eun-won learn that even the most broken hearts can crave, and destroy, in the same breath. (Source: Lezhin US)
