The text discusses Asher "Ash" Park, a world-renowned model who publicly displays homophobia to fit in and avoid backlash in a city where being openly LGBT is dangerous. He feels he must keep his true feelings hidden to avoid severe consequences such as disownment, bullying, or being forced to leave the city. Ultimately, Ash has romantic feelings for Jaeyoon "Jae" Cai, which complicates his situation, so instead of admitting his feelings, he bullies Jae to avoid any suspicion.
