Shioon is your typical student with the misfortune of getting bullied every day. With numbers stacked against him and no male friends to speak of, he is unable to fight back and his situation getting bleaker every day.

Sunsengnim does his best to ignore Shioon’s pleas as he must try to not attract any unwanted attention to himself, laying low on his mission as he stakes out Shioon’s high school for a couple of months. However, through numerous acts of desperation on Shioon’s part and seeing some redeeming qualities in the boy, Sunsengnim is bound to teach Shioon how to fight.
A string of suicides numbering in the thousands begin to spring up all over the world and no one knows why.
