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

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

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

Siwoo asked, "So when you started working at this company, you unexpectedly met your type, and it just turned out to be a man? Sounds like a typical gay story."


Shin replied, "Actually, he wasn't my type. He isn't pretty or feminine. He just is a… man."


Siwoo was on his third cup of gin and tonic. Shin looked down but Siwoo lifted his chin. Shin pulled back from Siwoo's hand and covered his chin. It was one of Shin's habit.s Whenever he felt embarrassed or shy, his chin trembled a little, so he tried to hide it with his hand.


Siwoo asked, "Just a man? I don't think so. Definitely not JUST a man, since when you talk about him, you look smitten."


"Do you remember how many gorgeous girls I introduced you to during college? You didn't show any interest at the time, and now, here you are."


Siwoo laughed, thinking how ironic this situation was. He pushed his hair back and when he saw Shin's serious eyes, Siwoo realized that this was the real deal.
