ADVENTURE UNDERGROUND

After being sent out of class by his teacher, a twelve-year-old Yi meets another student, Gang, in the hallway. The two quickly form an alliance through a shared sense of injustice. They decide to venture into the underground garage together. The unfamiliar thrill of the undergrad space blends with the excitement of companionship, and their friendship takes shape in the act of wandering.

When they discover the teacher’s car, a bold idea emerges—to puncture the tire as an act of revenge. After being caught, What feels to them, in that moment, like an act of rebellion to the adult world soon draws them into consequences far beyond their understanding.

The next day, when Yi returns to the classroom, he finds that Gang has quietly disappeared, leaving behind only the memory of their brief alliance.
