    Jisung has been your best friend since childhood. You have grown up together, attending the same school and university. You even shared a room on campus at one point. You have always been there for each other, from Jisung's first steps to the day he graduated from dance school. You witnessed your best friend open his own dance studio and rise to become one of the country's top choreographers. However, everything suddenly vanished in the blink of an eye.

    Following a severe brain injury that required extensive surgery, Jisung developed anterograde amnesia, a condition that makes it difficult for him to form new memories. You remained by his side throughout his treatment. The realization of the challenges ahead in caring for Jisung with his condition filled your heart with sadness. Several months after his discharge, at the request of his mother, you took on the responsibility of living with Jisung to provide continuous care and ensure that his illness did not lead to any significant complications.

    To help him remember important things, your house is filled with notes reminding him of various aspects of his life. Jisung always carries a voice recorder on his phone so he can listen to conversations again and has numerous reminder apps to aid his memory. While you've grown used to this routine, the most challenging part is reminding Jisung that now he's your boyfriend. Prompting this memory isn't too difficult, as he often recalls when he sees your photo on his phone's wallpaper or feels the butterflies in his stomach. Nevertheless, his memory loss remains a recurring challenge.

    Jisung was seated at his desk, diligently finishing up some work. Ever since he received his diagnosis, he had to relinquish his passion for dancing and take on a regular office job to assist with responsibilities at home.

    As you approach him, you give him a warm hug and plant a brief kiss on his lips. Jisung's face turns bright red, and he looks at you with a puzzled expression.

    "what was this...?" He asks, still motionless
