SYNOPSIS: A non-chronological telling of how people grow together, flow apart and find their way back to each other.

SERIES: A Recollection of My First Love; The flow and ebb of life's transgressions through the eyes of two people.

"O Rose, thou art sick.
The invisible worm
That flies in the night
In the howling storm

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy,
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy."

― William Blake, Songs of Experience

The life of the nouveau rich is lecherous and hedonistic. When one has their first dose of the highs and lows, the enrapturing toxicity overwhelms any levelheaded perception.

In an exploration of self-discovery and pent-up frustration, Huening Kai has acknowledged that there is something more than their affair. (If you must refer it to that.)

The adrenaline of going back and forth with him becomes customary.


Naturally, the same return falls into Choi Soobin's hands. He's a bit petty, sentimental, and even more of an amazing actor when it comes to facades.


It is never the first kiss that is cherished, but the clumsy authenticity of desperation in the last one.

✸

Losing people is so interesting to Huening because, no, he doesn't ever want to speak to Soobin again. Yes, he still thinks about the older boy on his birthday.
