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 never dreamt that their first date would take place in Woojin's home. When he got the message from Woojin, Shin froze for a few minutes.


He was expecting normal dates, like going to the movies, eating out, or having coffee at a pretty café. He imagined he would drive Woojin home at the end of their dates, and the most he'd get would be a passionate kiss.


At least for a while till they got to know each other better.


Even Siwoo told Shin not to expect too much from the dates for a long time.


Siwoo explained, "Just go out and have fun. A normal average date. Nowadays, it's not hard for men to have a good time with other men. Have you been to popular cafes lately? They are filled with gay people."


Siwoo laughed at Shin like he was having a grand time. So since Saturday morning, Shin had been researching to find which movies to watch. He also made a reservation at the Japanese restaurant where he got Woojin a bowl of abalone rice porridge.
