Kahyun, who had recently been promoted to director, tried to offer a small favor to a convenience store clerk he had been eyeing for a while but ended up witnessing a terrible traffic accident right before his eyes.

He reached out to help Minjae, who was in a coma, for the sake of his company’s image, but ultimately couldn’t prevent Minjae’s death, experiencing his first ‘failure’ in life.

Afterward, Kahyun, who suffered from insomnia and nightmares for a long time, finds himself returning to the day he first met Minjae.

Is this a dream?

Being a staunch realist, Kahyun wants to save Minjae even in his dreams to rid himself of his trauma.

However, something is wrong.

Even though he made sure Minjae stayed away from the road to keep him safe, Minjae still doesn’t wake up.

Minjae, seemingly grateful, keeps reaching out and approaching Kahyun, causing him confusion.

The more he gets to know Minjae, the less he dislikes him.

Kahyun gradually notices himself smiling more and more.

Kahyun silently looked at the face of this admirable yet stubborn young man.

When Kahyun showed signs of refusal, Minjae proactively spoke up.

“This time, I really will treat you. Don’t bring up the age difference, my status as a working person, or your status as a student.”

Seeing Minjae’s serious expression as he tried to mimic a stern look, Kahyun let out a faint laugh.

No one had ever wanted to give him something so much before.

Unable to hold back his curiosity, Kahyun asked,

“Why do you want to treat me so badly?”

“Why, why, because…?”

“Yes, go ahead.”

Minjae was at a loss for words.

The genuine confusion on Kahyun’s face made it clear he had no idea how much he had given Minjae, starting with bringing his wallet.

Minjae began to list reasons but stopped, mimicking Kahyun’s earlier words with a mischievous smile.

“Just because.”
