Synopsis

Recent graduate Ben develops painful hemorrhoids from his love of spicy food. His embarrassment peaks when his proctologist turns out to be Ethan, his stepbrother. Their awkward doctor-patient relationship forces repeated encounters. Despite Ethan's cool, professional exterior, he shows quiet care, from dietary warnings to late-night post-surgery check-ins. Ben, hopelessly smitten, deliberately eats spicy food to schedule more appointments, creating a cycle of charged, tense meetings. Ethan, conflicted, pushes Ben away, leading to a brief, unsuccessful relationship for Ben. A final follow-up appointment becomes the catalyst. After clearing misunderstandings and with family acceptance, they confess their feelings, heal each other's past hurts, and build a life together, finding peace and mutual emotional fulfillment.

Ethan pushing Ben away only to realize he can't live without him... classic. My heart ached.

It’s a story about healing in every sense—physical, emotional, familial. Very satisfying watch.

The slow burn! The tension! Their family dinner after the confession had me crying happy tears.
