He always told me that he dreamed of me at night.

The warmth of our hands under the pool waters during our schooldays

What was that heavy feeling that sunk deep into the pool that night?

A love that was too short to call it first love and the story that redraws that moment piece by piece.

Chief Kim and Assistant manager Choi

Shin Kim kept checking the chatting app over and over again. He ignored the message from Minjae who asked him if he wanted to have lunch together. What Shin cared about was the message he sent to Woojin today.


-Assistant Manager Woojin, do you want to have lunch with me today?


During the last few days, Woojin and Shin lunched together everyday. Because they were in different departments, they rarely passed by each other. That meant the only time for Shin to get to see Woojin was during lunch time.


Jihoon looked at them curiously whenever they were together at lunch time, but Woojin didn't react to it.


Shin continued to wait for Woojin's reply.


Woojin always replied immediately, but today, it seemed that he wasn't even reading Shin's message. It was almost lunch time already, so Shin sighed in frustration. When he couldn't wait anymore, Shin finally replied to Minjae's message.


Minjae sent a message back quickly to Shin.
