The protagonist, 'Yoon', lives under the illusion that time is infinite, but an unexplained heart condition causes him to lose both his dreams and normal daily life, forcing him to frequently transfer schools. At his new school, he meets his desk partner, 'Minji', and together they face unexpected events. The story unfolds on the day of the final school trip when the two are left alone at school. 

The stage is a 360-degree arena designed to resemble a giant clock. Twelve canvases represent Yoon's frozen time, with the progression of time resuming after meeting Minji. This emotional journey is visually conveyed through projection design.

Yoon and Minji view the world through different perspectives, inspiring a drawing-style video design concept. Common school objects familiar to high school students were researched and designed from various angles. Initially presented as black-and-white sketches, these objects gradually regain color as the play progresses, reflecting the changes in Yoon’s state of mind.

As time progresses, Yoon's emotional state is visually represented through collaborative work with the set designer. This was symbolized by concentric circles and droplets, creating a dynamic and immersive depiction of his inner journey.
