Suddenly, Last Summer follows high schooler Sang-Woo who, on a weekend, stalks the teacher he loves and blackmails him with a photo he took of him at a gay bar. The two go on a ferry ride and enjoy the sunny weather. The initially reluctant teacher starts to grow fond of Sang-Woo face. Fearful of crossing moral redlines, however, the teacher scares Sang-Woo off with mean words. After the two part away, the teacher finds Sang-Woo at his home yet again, insisting to hear the teacher admit that he has feelings for him.
Going South is the story of Gi-Tae, a soldier who seeks out his army boyfriend who has completed military service. But the boyfriend does not want to continue the relationship. On their way back to the base, Gi-Tae presents his boyfriend with a cup of coffee spiked with sleeping pills and drives away from the base. When they arrive at a river down south, the boyfriend wakes up and scolds him, demands him to hand over the keys, and reveals his homophobia. Gi-Tae confronts him about their past and seeks some final tenderness with him. Irresistibly, the two make out in the car in the woods. Gi-Tae takes advantage and photographs his boyfriend’s climaxing, but a quarrel then breaks out and the two find themselves struggling with pain.
