When Jungkook left America for university in Seoul he thought he'd made a clean break.
Finally free of the narrow minded small mentality of the town he grew up in, he could be himself. He finished school and built a new life in Korea and now has budding career as an innovative, up and coming tattoo artist.
What would the small Midwest community think of him now, heavily tattooed and openly gay? He never wanted to find out.
But he can't avoid his responsibilities forever, and he reluctantly finds himself back in America again to empty his childhood home after his mother's death. It all seems too overwhelming until his neighbour and long-time crush, who himself seems to have had the glow-up of the century, steps in to help when he struggles to cope as deeply held secrets from his past are uncovered.
Now as years of pent-up emotions come rushing back, Jungkook can't help wondering how it will ever be possible to leave again.
