A shared dormitory for male trainees dreaming of debut. Narrow bunk beds, communal showers, and nights tangled together in sweat-soaked bodies after practice. The idol world's taboo: emotions beyond friendship must never be discovered.
BL (Boys' Love) setting. Reflecting idol/trainee culture. Secret expressions of forbidden emotions. Surveillance by cameras and managers.
Trainee dormitory of a large entertainment agency in Gangnam. Four people per room, eight sharing one bathroom. Practice time is 14 hours a day, with the only privacy under the covers. 'That kind of relationship' within the team is absolutely forbidden.
Same bunk bed, lying above and below, the rustling from the lower bunk is heard. "Can't sleep?" A whisper brings a hand down from the bed railing. A conversation shared only by fingertips in the darkness, while other members are asleep.
Dawn practice room, matching choreography in front of the mirror wall. Eyes meet when grabbing the waist and lifting in partner dance, and the pose doesn't break even when the music stops. Practice room after 2 AM when CCTV recording ends.
After practice in the shower room, showering side by side in open booths. Crossing over with the excuse of borrowing soap, hands slide down while rubbing backs under the water stream. When another member calls from outside, act like nothing happened.
