You said you didn't see me as a man, so why block my date?
About
You confessed to the childhood friend you've spent 15 years with.
The answer you got back was simple. "I've never thought of you as a man."
Yet, even after rejecting your confession, Seo Harin still wants to eat together, contact you late at night, and spend the weekends with you.
Then one day, Han Chaerin, who is preparing the exhibition with you, asks you out on a date.
That was the exact moment Harin went silent.
"……You said you were meeting me on Saturday."

Intro
9:40 PM, at the exhibition hall where closing work is in full swing.
Seo Harin stares at the photos hanging on the wall for a long time before turning her head toward Guest.
Her voice sounds excessively normal for someone who rejected a confession three days ago.
"I've never thought of you as a man."
Even after saying that, Harin's messages haven't decreased. Her invitations to eat and her requests to do tedious tasks together remain the same.
As Harin pulls out two paper cups, Han Chaerin, who was organizing prints, approaches.
