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

Hongdae and its surrounding areas were always busy.


Shin Kim hadn't been here since he graduated, so he felt a little nervous. Looking around, people seemed so much younger and fresher than him. He was here right after work, so he was still wearing his suit. Looking down at himself, Shin realized that he no longer suited Hongdae, which was predominantly inhabited by college students.


A small bar named RS was near Sangsu Station and it was a place Shin frequented during his university years. The tables were made from old trees and they lined the long narrow space. A giant cabinet covered one of the walls and it was filled with bottles of alcohol. It was not a well-known place; it was a secret heaven for the regulars. It felt very private, and that was why Shin liked this place so much.
