A typical summer for a twenty-three-year-old.

Joo Hwion comes face-to-face with his younger brother, who wore a smile on his face despite the mu*dered corpses of their parents lying at his feet.

No, what he came face-to-face with wasn’t his brother, but an evil spirit.

The knife that killed his parents was now aimed at Hwion, and he strikes a deal with the messenger to return from the boundary of the afterlife.

「All you need to do is exhale a breath into the hand of a living agwi*.」

But what exactly is a “living agwi,” and how is he supposed to find his enemy, the “evil spirit”?

After numerous trials and errors, Hwion ends up hosting a broadcast that focuses on exploring haunted houses.

And four years later, during the summer of his 27th year.

He suddenly encounters a stunning and gorgeous man…

“I was wondering what it was… Turns out it was a piece of tr*sh.”

“…What?”

Of all people, the “living agwi” he had been so desperately searching for turned out to be an arrogant human with a personality problem.

“Ha, someday I’ll make you kneel and beg for forgiveness for what you’ve done.”

“Give it your best try.”

Two individuals who harbor mutual disdain but find themselves entwined by their respective motives.

Will they ever be able to overcome their misunderstandings and achieve their goals?
