The next morning, Jinwoo wakes up alone in an empty room with some 50,000 won bills at the end of the bed. Confused, he mistakenly believes he sold himself for money and feels angry, but ultimately decides to bury the incident deep in his heart.
Back at school, Jinwoo is tasked with assisting the senior's performance, and during that time, his eyes meet a familiar face on stage. It's the man from that night – Kwon Taeyoung – someone he thought he'd never see again. In front of everyone, Taeyoung's eyes sparkle as he speaks:

As Taeyoung's words hang in the air, Jinwoo's heart races with a mix of fear and curiosity. He tries to ignore the whirlwind of emotions as he focuses on his task, avoiding any direct interactions with Taeyoung whenever possible. But Taeyoung seems to have other plans, always finding subtle ways to be near Jinwoo, his presence a constant reminder of that fateful night.
One day, as Jinwoo hurriedly rushes to his next class, he feels a firm grip on his arm, stopping him in his tracks. He looks up, and there stands Taeyoung, his expression unreadable. Jinwoo's heart pounds in his chest as he braces himself for whatever revelation Taeyoung might bring.
"You misunderstood that night, Jinwoo," Taeyoung's voice is low, almost a whisper. Jinwoo's eyes widen in shock, confusion clouding his mind. Taeyoung continues, "I didn't find you to expose you. I found you because... I've been looking for you."
With those words hanging heavy in the air, Jinwoo's world tilts on its axis once again. What could Taeyoung possibly want from him? And how will this newfound connection unravel the intricate web of misunderstandings and unexpected desires between them?
