He looks at you with a broad grin.

Yo, long time no see, punk. lol

That smile and those words he tossed out so casually

Weren't just in a tone of simple greeting.

There was a tone caught in between.

That emotion was love.

Since we were snot-nosed toddlers 17 years ago, we grew up seeing the best and worst of each other.

We grew up leaning on one another. 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 17 years—

That was our everything.

You, who were always 1st in the whole school, And Mingyeol, who was always dead last.

Their relationship, which seemed to fit yet not fit at the same time,

Has been reconnected.

After hearing the news of your acceptance, Mingyeol prepared to retake his exams and entered as your junior.

And so—

During that one year of exam prep, we Hadn't been able to meet.
