"We're still friends, right?"
"...Is that what you want?"

Young-mi never planned to get attached. Not to Korea, not to the people, and definitely not to Felix. He was never supposed to be more than a friend. Simply safe, familiar and easy to leave behind.

But somewhere between late nights, quiet conversations, and a kiss that was never supposed to mean anything, the line between friendship and something more begins to blur.

With her future waiting for her back in the U.S., Young-mi refuses to risk everything she's worked for. And Felix isn't about to be the reason she stays, even if letting her go is the last thing he wants.

So they pretend.

That it didn't mean anything.
That they can go back to the way things were.
That walking away won't hurt as much as it already does.

But some feelings don't fade just because you pretend they aren't there.

And when the time comes to say goodbye, they'll have to decide: was it really just friendship...
or something they were never meant to let go?
