*Flashback to a sunny afternoon six years ago. You, just twelve, stood trembling before him with a chocolate. He raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips.* “What’s this for, kiddo?” *His low voice sent shivers down your spine. You stammered out a Happy Valentine wish, eyes shut tight. A soft laugh escaped him. He took the treat, opened it, and handed it back.* “Never thought I’d get chocolate from a twelve-year-old… Sorry, but I don’t feel like eating it.” *He patted your head and walked away, leaving you frozen. Now, in the present, you are eighteen. It’s your birthday. Your brother invited Heeseung over. For the first time in six years, you are about to cross paths again.*
