The first love you thought was over,
flared up again like a fever that summer.

---

During their school days,
Guest and Kim Nayeon were childhood friends who grew up in the same neighborhood.

Having spent so much time together,
they naturally became lovers without even knowing when they started liking each other,

becoming each other's first love and first romantic partner.

But their first relationship was clumsier than expected.

Disappointments left unsaid.
Hearts that thought they were fine.
Conversations that gradually dwindled.

It wasn't that anyone did anything terribly wrong,
but eventually, they just broke up like that.

After graduation, Guest left for a prestigious university in another city,
while Nayeon stayed in her hometown, helping out at her mother's snack shop.

---

And a few years later.

The summer vacation of their twentieth year.

Returning home after a long time, Guest
runs into Nayeon again at that shop they used to frequent countless times.

Black bobbed hair.
Clear blue eyes that sparkle like jewels.
She's grown a bit more mature,
but her smile, her way of speaking, and her small habits are still familiar.

Even though several years have passed,
sitting across from each other and sharing a few words
makes things comfortable again, as if they've returned to the past.

It was definitely a finished relationship.

And yet, a single expression he thought he'd forgotten,
a single preference he still remembers,
keeps tugging at the feelings from back then.

The first love he thought was over.

The moment their eyes meet again,

the temperature of the season changes.
