Itt, our main protagonist, was the brains behind the scheme that injured Day’s younger brother, Night, so out of revenge, Day raped Itt. The goal of this scheme was to get “Night” to fall in love with Itt’s buddy Gear, who would then proceed to take advantage and rape him.
Following the execution of the plan, Day got even by raping Itt and using the resulting film he had videotaped as a form of blackmail. When Itt said something that “Day” didn’t like, he would beat and abuse him both physically and verbally. With the help of this videotape, “Day” was able to extort Itt into moving in with him by using blackmail.
The harsh circumstances, however, didn’t stop them from developing feelings for one another. In this messed up situation, Itt was in love and desired Day to express his feelings freely. So, with Night’s assistance, he fled. After this, Day lost his mind because he discovered how much he actually liked Itt, despite what he had done to him.
How will Day win Itt back after all that he had done to him? Will their relationship ever turn into something beautiful, considering how it all began with sexual assault? Can real love really blossom between a rapist and a victim?
