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

When he was 17 years old, almost 18, Shin Kim got into a car accident. It was a hit and run.


Jogging early in the morning was his habit. That day was especially foggy, but he didn't think much about it. Shin realized his mistake much later. He regretted not being more careful.


It was a car he had never seen before. He couldn't remember the license plate either. He fell facefirst into a puddle after he was hit and watched blankly as it turned red with his own blood.


Shin remembered a single stream of blood rolling down his cheek. It felt so strange. It was warmer than he expected, so Shin closed his eyes. At the time, he didn't feel pain. He couldn't breathe, so he scratched the ground with his fingernails. Every time he breathed, he felt his lung being stabbed.


When he opened his eyes, he saw his parents looking very pale.
