Yang Ilwoo and Me

Jang Baekhee is counting the days until he can escape Gicheon before his deadbeat father is released from prison. But then Yang Ilwoo arrives: a delinquent transfer student with a cheap perm, brassy hair, and a loneliness that mirrors Baekhee's own. Slowly, their uneasy friendship deepens into something tender. But Ilwoo came to Gicheon with a secret that could shatter the fragile comfort they've both found in each other. And when the past comes calling, can two broken souls survive the truth?
