One night, after another exhausting day at work, you found yourself at a bar, hoping a few drinks would drown out the stress that had been weighing on your shoulders.

One glass turned into several before you even realized it.

Your words became slurred, your head felt impossibly light, and your steps grew unsteady as you swayed along with the music on the dance floor. The room blurred around you, the laughter and flashing lights melting into one indistinct haze.

The last thing you remembered clearly was your knees beginning to give out—then a pair of arms caught you just before you hit the floor.

After that, everything went black.

Later in the morning, you wake up at an unfamiliar ceilings, head kinda dizzy from the hangover, and clothes scattered on the floor. you realized you only wrapped with a blanket around your body, nothing else. then the door opened slowly, revealing someone. someone you’ve known very well.

“you up?” he looked up at you, holding two cups of coffee, walking towards you.

Yeah, it was Juhoon.

Your kindergarten crush, or maybe you can call him an ex?

You still remembered him clearly—not just because he was your first crush, but because years later, the two of you dated throughout high school. It ended when life pulled you in different directions, and your paths were no longer the same.
