[Among the classmates in the same department as Juhan, there was someone who liked Eunsu. Even though Juhan and Eunsu were in different departments, they were often together on campus, and it seems that the person became interested in Eunsu after seeing them together. So, that person asked Juhan, ‘Hey, you have that close girl, the one you were talking to in front of the library earlier. Who is she?’…]

“Did something like that happen?”

“That guy… he’s really light. His mouth.”

[Juhan cut in with a face he had never seen before. ‘Why are you curious about that?’ he said. After asking twice, the person said they would beat someone. I knew exactly at that moment. Oh, that guy is crazy.]

Blushing, Juhan tried to subtly rise.

But Eunsu firmly grabbed his arms with both hands and sat him back down next to me.

“Gotcha, you rascal. If it weren’t for you, I could have met another guy when I was twenty.”

“Are you serious?”

Juhan looked serious. Eunsu didn’t back down and smiled slyly.

“Just a little?”

“Really.”

“Are you curious about dating other guys?”

“Why would I?”

“Why does it sound like you have some regrets?”

“No, it’s just a mood.”

“Even if you had, I hope you didn’t. Seriously, if I want variety, I’ll live like I have multiple personalities.”

“Don’t talk nonsense…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Juhan kissed him on the lips. After a few pecks, he subtly deepened the kiss.

Eunsu, who had been accepting for a while, pushed Juhan’s chest aside as the opening music played, transitioning from episode 3 to episode 4, and asked.

“But seriously, aren’t you even a little bit regretful?”

“About what?”

“About not meeting anyone other than me.”

“Huh?”

Juhan slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

“I’ve never said I only met you.”

“What?”

Eunsu’s gaze quickly turned fierce.

When even the hands that were touching separated abruptly, there was a sign of realization in Juhan’s eyes.

“Hey, Eunsu. Just a joking comment…”

“Don’t joke with me. Are you trying to cover up your slip of the tongue?”

“What slip of the tongue? I said it as a joke.”

“I’ll let it go if you tell me now. When and who?”

“Well, there has to be something to talk about.”

“I was a confirmed solo until I met you… unless it’s before high school? That’s when I was young. But if it’s not that time, it’s only when you were in the United States, right? If it’s about that time, tell me in detail according to the six principles. Surely you weren’t living recklessly right after we broke up, right?”

“I admit that I didn’t live properly after breaking up with you, but I didn’t live like that!”

In the current situation, with Juhan half-choked by Eunsu, the Juhan on the screen was pulling out a paper with the keyword “First Meeting.”

[And then Eunsu came in wearing a school uniform for the first time. Hair tied like this. I saw them coming in as usual and sitting next to me, but suddenly, really suddenly, I had that thought.] Breaking through the momentary silence, Eunsu turned his head at the sound of Juhan’s voice.

Juhan, who had teased Eunsu once and received a witty comeback, felt it was time to get something to drink. He briskly stood up, saying he would bring something to drink.

[I like this guy. I really liked him. And maybe, I might like only him for the rest of my life.]

Amidst a clear warmth, the noisy sound of searching the refrigerator for a beer can echoed.

[If it didn’t eventually happen, if it ended after we broke up, I might have thought of such childish and brave thoughts when I was young and just moved on. But… even now, when I see Eunsu, I still feel the same way. Wanting to sneak in such childish and brave words, like forever or eternity.]

Tiny droplets of soap quietly burst all over their bodies, tickling in places they sat without making a sound.

Seeing the changed look in Eunsu’s eyes compared to earlier, Juhan, reassured, placed the beer can on the table and sat closely next to Eunsu.

“You really…”

Eunsu, turning to Juhan, hesitated for a moment.

“To be honest, it was a joke. I was playing around. I firmly believed that Kim Juhan wouldn’t have met anyone other than me.”

“I didn’t see that belief in your eyes earlier.”

“You must have seen it wrong. Take another look.”

Eunsu gently covered Juhan’s cheek with both hands, making him face me.

As their eyes met as if trying to contain each other, without anyone saying anything first, they gradually got closer.

Whether the two kissed or not, on the screen, the resilient Episode 4 continued.

Eunsu, who drew a keyword paper like Juhan, was making an embarrassed expression.

[First kiss. Uh… how far do I have to answer this?] [It was about a week since we started dating. We went on a date, and on the way Juhan was taking me home, it started pouring rain, and we got soaked. So we just came inside to the entrance, tried to wipe off as much as possible with a towel, and I told him to take an umbrella… and it happened.]

Juhan, who had rummaged through every nook and cranny of his mouth, lightly bit his swollen lower lip and laughed without making a sound.
