A full month speeds by too quickly and it's the first of June.
Leaves are growing out in bunches, the weather is warming much too quickly and Hyungseob suddenly doesn't want spring to leave.
Summer is coming, and summer means youth.
Summer needs to consist of people playing outside in the sunshine, going to the beach, eating samgyetang with the air conditioner turned on full swing. Summer shouldn't have sulky boys in their early twenties because they don't have their other half to spend summer and have fun with.
Summer brings hope.
Eunki and Daniel have already arranged for a few classes per week teaching hip hop to the kids at the dance studio so he can find a job, and he has found himself a shift at both the nearby cafe and at the convenience store just for the extra cash because he doesn't think him teaching classes at the dance studio can cut it.
Hyungseob needs to find hope for himself. Even more than he needs.
If he doesn't find hope, he's going to wilt like the dying flower Youngmin has associated with him just a few days again for being so bright one day then so gloomy the next. If he doesn't find hope, he might as well lock himself in his house forever and leave himself there to die- which might not really be so bad after all, but that's not the point.
Youngmin and Donghyun have both been guilt tripping him, saying that he wouldn't have wanted Hyungseob to live his life uselessly moping around, and it doesn't necessarily get Hyungseob feeling guilty at all times.
Summer brings hope. Hyungseob just decides that he's going to wait for it to come, he doesn't have the energy to look for it himself.
