You were older? || Jeongcheol
Jeonghan, a carefree 22-year-old university student, lives his life on slow mornings, sleepy lectures, and the thrill of a long-time silent crush. Every day at 6:45 a.m., he boards the same bus, and every day, he sees him-the impossibly handsome man with sharp suits and quiet eyes. Jeonghan gushes about him endlessly to his friends, but none of them have ever seen this mystery man. To Jeonghan, he's just a gorgeous student from another uni.
Until one morning, everything changes.
Jeonghan forgets his wallet at a nearby café, where his usual coffee is already made. Just when the embarrassment hits, the man himself steps up and pays without saying a word. Grateful and flustered, Jeonghan doesn't even get the chance to ask his name.
But his friends do some digging-only to discover the man is Choi Seungcheol, a respected 27-year-old company manager and public speaker, someone Jeonghan never even knew was famous.
What starts as a small act of kindness turns into shared bus rides, sleepy-eyed glances, and unexpected morning café stops. Jeonghan finds himself falling harder for a man whose world seems so far from his. But Seungcheol? He might just be falling too.
As everyone around them slowly gets involved in this slow-blooming love story, Jeonghan has to decide: is he brave enough to chase after someone who already seems so out of reach?
