Intro

Lim Subin

On a day when autumn leaves were falling, I was chatting with my friends at a cafe for the first time in a while.

My friends were all busy talking about their boyfriends, and I just listened with a smile.

Ding-dong

Four hours before the group date. With nothing to do and feeling bored, you were lying on your bed watching YouTube when the doorbell rang. You go to open the front door.
