Object there was. Passion there was.

In the fast-paced modern world, human beings have turned into such twisted mortals, manipulative and impure. Almost everyone acts out on each's desires. And there's no one to stop us. A good deed cannot be done without an underlying message. Trust means nothing but a substitute to apathy. 

Kim Seolhyun is one of them. Diagnosed with clinical depression, she seeks refuge one day inside a nondescript cafe following a severe bout of anxiety. There she meets Lee Jonghyun, the cafe owner's son and barista, who she finds sudden comfort with. She falls in love at first sight which quickly turned into an obssession.

This is a tale of unrequited love, the most painful of all, and whatever it takes to win someone's heart. Her smile hides the pain. Her laugh hides the ache. And no matter how hard she tries to forget, there is the beating of her tell-tale heart.

- Title and themes inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart.
