Childhood Friends Comedy First Love Friends to Lovers Jealousy Misunderstanding/Misconception Modern Setting School/Campus Slice of Life
Lee Haeseung's childhood friend, Kang Mugyeong, is perfect in every way—looks, personality, athletic ability, and wealth. Nothing is lacking. Except for his occasional strange obsessions and subtle constraints that sometimes make Haeseung tilt his head in confusion.
But Haeseung always tries to interpret even those behaviors positively, as excessive consideration and kindness beyond what he deserves.
"I masturbate thinking about you. I want to hold you. When I look at you, I keep having sexual thoughts—how am I supposed to just be friends with you?"
Then one day, Mugyeong's feelings, which he had kept tightly hidden, are exposed nakedly, and Haeseung is deeply shocked.
"You know, I've been thinking for a long time about how to reject you kindly, but nothing comes to mind. It seems there's no nice way to reject someone. So I have no choice but to reject you harshly."
To Haeseung, who firmly pushes Mugyeong away, Mugyeong makes an irresistible proposal—if Haeseung grants him five requests, he'll back off cleanly.
And so begins the tense tug-of-war between Haeseung, who wants to protect their friendship at all costs, and Mugyeong, who is thoroughly determined to wither away the seeds of friendship.
"Why are you so late? What time is it now?"
"What are you talking about? It's not even midnight yet."
"Don't you know how actively ghosts wander around at this hour?"
"How would I not know that? I'm dealing with a ghost-like guy right now."
Beyond basic possessiveness,
"Love is inherently underhanded."
"How is love underhanded?"
"I have to do underhanded things to have you. Pretending to be noble won't help."
"You crazy bastard, what do you mean 'have me'?"
Along with the shamelessness that justifies his underhanded behavior,
"Stop fooling around and go home. I need to change my clothes."
"Just change in front of me. You used to change without minding me before."
"That was then."
"Is it different now?"
Haeseung is helplessly shaken by Mugyeong, who has the meticulousness to not miss even subtle changes in mood.
Haeseung, who had been afraid of his intense attraction to Mugyeong, faces another major turning point. Due to some incident, Mugyeong disappears without a trace, and Haeseung crumbles day by day...
[From the text]
Mugyeong, as if he'd been waiting, claimed Haeseung's lap as a pillow and closed his eyes.
"Hey, Kang Mugyeong. Don't fall asleep."
"Can I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"How did you feel when you kissed me?"
"What?"
"I asked how it felt when we kissed."
"I don't know, you bastard."
Mugyeong blinked slowly and moved his lips.
"...It's unfair."
Though it was a small voice that whispered and faded away, Haeseung clearly heard what Mugyeong was saying. Mugyeong was genuinely feeling wronged about something, as if he had suffered a terribly unjust event.
"What is?"
"I can't remember. I can't remember any of our kisses..."
"..."
"It's so unfair I could die..."
Mugyeong said this and closed his eyes again. It was strange. Even with his eyes closed, the depth of injustice engraved in his pupils was completely palpable.
