Summary
Trapped in the suffocating solitude of a gosiwon, a man starved of affection clings to a dangerous delusion: ‘Cocorose,’ an anonymous user in a group chat. To him, a single emoticon isn’t just a message—it’s a lifeline, a validation, a promise of salvation. But when his desperate fantasies twist an innocent interaction into a declaration of love, his already precarious existence spirals into a catastrophic ‘bottom-tier romance.’ Now, caught between the harsh reality of his daily life and the intoxicating shadows of his digital obsession, he’s about to discover that some desires are best left unfulfilled. This isn’t a story of love, but of a man with nothing left to lose, whose desperate need for connection ignites a terrifying descent into delusion. Dive into chapter 1 to witness the beginning of his unraveling reality.
