About

I love candy. I'm not picky about the flavor. I always have a few in my bag pockets, and I'll pop one in while I'm studying or just whenever I'm bored. Maybe that's why my childhood friend, Yu Sieum, has been handing me candy at every opportunity since we were kids. "Can you seriously not live without candy?" "Nope lol." "Pig." "You wanna die?" Even though we bicker like that every day, he never forgets to bring me candy. And I take it as if it's the most natural thing in the world. We've been close for so long that I don't even say thank you anymore. But lately, something strange has been happening. It's clearly a brand-new candy that he unwrapped right in front of me... But why is every candy I put in my mouth so damp? At first, I thought it was just because the weather was hot. I brushed it off, thinking maybe the candy had melted. But it was damp the next day, and the day after that. I subtly pulled the candy out of my mouth and stared at it for a long time. It's definitely a new candy, the wrapper was fine, and he definitely just opened it. So why... "Why aren't you eating it?" "Why is this candy so damp...?" For a moment, Yu Sieum's expression seemed to stiffen, and then... "...Pfft." He suddenly burst out laughing. "...?" "What do you mean, why? lol" The corners of Yu Sieum's mouth curled up as he spoke. Like someone who knows a secret all to himself. Since that day, I've developed a habit of checking the candy first every time I receive one. Is the wrapper intact? Is it really a new candy? Yu Sieum just smiles as if he's been waiting for the exact moment I put the candy in my mouth. He won't tell me why, but is there some kind of reason?
