            <description><![CDATA[People live their entire lives not knowing things they have not experienced. I was the same. Even knowing that there are parents out there, I had never seen them, so I couldn&#8217;t understand what that feeling was like. The reason the banknotes given to me by Lee Jihoon&#8217;s father felt unfamiliar was that my own mom and dad had never given me pocket money…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“I can&#8217;t be friends with you anymore.” Seeing Lee Jihoon&#8217;s eyes waver, I lowered my head. A breath-like whisper escaped from my lips, which had lost their strength. The fact that the weight of time accumulated between us required me to throw that option away felt almost absurd at this moment. It&#8217;s my fault. I should have acted like a friend, but I ended…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“Do you really think I&#8217;m the kind of person who would do this for someone like him?” The eyes of the person who met my gaze never wavered even once. It was as if he had anticipated my reaction and still chose to carry out this act. Lee Jihoon smiled softly at my silence. “Seon-uk, even the kid next door knows this is crazy.”…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Until I reached the fourth grade of elementary school, I moved often. Just as I was starting to get a little close to someone, I would change schools or leave my academies. Perhaps because of that, I didn’t have any friends I had known since I was very young. Sometimes when I discovered friends who had been with me since childhood, I felt amazed.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I gazed at the closed door and carefully placed the porridge bag on Lee Jihoon&#8217;s desk. I hesitated, pondering whether to leave it there, but the thought that I might not notice it before dinner when the porridge would get cold prompted me to pick up my phone. It was embarrassing to express such concern over something trivial. Ah, did I buy this for…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The meaningless prank continued until we reached the end of the stone wall path. As Lee Jihoon had said in front of the tteokbokki restaurant, it really felt like he had brought me right to my doorstep. The long mirror, seemingly discarded in front of Grandma Baek&#8217;s house directly across from the gate, reflected both Lee Jihoon and me. Neither of us could be…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“…What’s that?” “A bicycle.” “Did you think I wouldn’t know that?” After openly scoffing, Lee Jihoon stopped joking. He kicked the bike’s stand lightly and added an afterthought. “My dad wouldn’t let me borrow the motorcycle.” I’d assumed he would walk all the way to the good spot, so I asked out of the blue why he had brought a bicycle instead of a…]]></description>

My grandfather wouldn’t want it. My mother would get angry. All the plans my parents had set for my future would get messed up. Then someone would certainly end up getting hurt. And… I couldn’t find any more reasons…]]></description>

Kang Youngsoo, who was looking at me, was pointing at my face and chuckling as if he knew what I was going to say. “I think when you get old, you&#8217;ll look just like your grandfather.” It was a statement that could be taken…]]></description>

This was the first fact I learned when I entered a national organization. I also learned that there are more holes made from the inside than those penetrated from the outside.

It was because of Lee Jihoon, who blocked my view. I quietly stared at the reflection of Lee Jihoon&#8217;s back and my stiff face in the round glass window between the iron door separating the terrace and the inside. I realized how his…]]></description>

Hoping there was a reason behind it, I concluded my speech. “Why are you wasting your talents on something you&#8217;re not good at?” Without shifting his gaze from me, Lee Jihoon opened his mouth. “Seon-uk.

            <description><![CDATA[“Is this the store farm&#8230;?” This was Kang Youngsoo&#8217;s brief impression as he returned from work to the hospital room. His gaze lingered on the boxes of tangerines stacked next to the sofa, the fruit basket on the table, and the apple mango that Lee Jihoon was peeling, now at his fifth. Lee Jihoon didn’t even pretend to listen as he moved the knife.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The woman initially had a dull tone, but for the first time, laughter broke through. She shook her head vehemently, her expression already weary. “They offered me a lead role. They want me to shoulder all the responsibilities, and if it fails, I’m the one to take the fall. The way they’re being so transparent about their intentions, it’s almost laughable.” As the laughter…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“Are you different now?” “Yeah.” “Why?” Even while asking, Lee Jihoon’s expression made it clear he already knew the answer. I took a step forward to show that he wasn’t wrong. We stopped in a place where we didn’t need to guess or make assumptions, as we could confirm each other&#8217;s eyes. The moment I confirmed his unwavering gaze on me, my heart raced.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“Were you listening well?” I suddenly realized I had forgotten to take off my hat. As I raised my hand to do so, I locked eyes with Lee Jihoon. “It&#8217;s fine. When else are you going to see me wearing a hat?” After stopping me, Jihoon casually reached for my hat and lifted it up. I furrowed my brow slightly as I watched him…]]></description>

Don’t misunderstand.” “……” “Just a little….” Lee Jihoon trailed off, but the unspoken words he omitted felt painfully obvious. I continued, interjecting. “Do you still feel like I’m a patient?” “……” “Do you think I’ll break if we have sex? Like my head might explode too?” Lee Jihoon tried to respond but ended…]]></description>

You were trying to get ready for sex with me… to get ready so quickly.” “Ah-huut….” “You knew I was going to suck you, right?
