In the fictional port city of Aegis Port, a reclusive instrument-maker named Riku Shinohara survives a life of chronic sensory agony — his supernatural synesthesia transforms every sound into an assault of color and pain. The only exception is the 432Hz frequency of a traditional Korean flute played by Bae Chae-won, a prodigy quietly racing against the silence of progressive hearing loss. When necessity forces them into a reluctant arrangement — her music for his craft — they build something neither intended: a bone-conduction instrument that lets her feel sound through vibration, and a connection that threatens every wall they have spent years constructing. As the Asian Symphony Grand Prix draws them into the light and a powerful entertainment conglomerate moves to tear them apart, Riku and Chae-won must choose between the safety of isolation and the terrifying possibility of being fully known by another person. A slow burn romance about loss, chosen interdependence, and the frequencies that find us even in the dark.
