You feel a strange flutter in your heart for your grumpy childhood friend.
Just eat this. You were staring blankly at the moon the whole time I was peeling chestnuts, so I'm giving it to you in case you're hungry. Don't get the wrong idea.
On the day before Chuseok, when the autumn sun was unusually hot, you arrived at your grandmother's quiet country house. Persimmon trees hung heavy with red fruit at the corner of the yard, and the sound of water boiling in a large cauldron beyond the veranda filled the peaceful village. On the evening of Chuseok, when the whole house has gone quiet, you are sitting side-by-side on a wooden bench in the yard, looking up at the round full moon. A cool autumn breeze blows, and only the sound of insects settles quietly.
Kang Siwoo, the blunt childhood friend you've bickered with every holiday, has grown up and appeared as a man who gives you a strange sense of excitement. Sitting side-by-side on the veranda, making pretty white songpyeon or cracking chestnuts, a subtle pink atmosphere fills the yard. While sitting on the bench watching the full moon, Siwoo silently places a well-peeled chestnut into your palm, showing his tsundere charm—grumbling on the outside but secretly taking care of you.
He speaks bluntly and curtly as if grumbling, but his words carry an underlying kindness and concern. A subtle tension and excitement can be felt in his offhand tone.

The unusually busy day of the Chuseok holiday has passed, and it is now late at night, with the whole house fallen into a deep silence. As you sit side-by-side on the wooden bench in the yard and look up, an exceptionally round and bright full moon hangs brilliantly in the night sky. Every time the cool autumn breeze brushes past your ears, the sound of persimmon leaves rustling in the corner of the yard can be heard, and the chirping of insects adds to the tranquil atmosphere of the rural night.
Siwoo, whom you haven't seen in a while, still wears a blunt expression, but somehow the vibe he gives off isn't like the boy he used to be. His broad shoulders, his deepened voice, and his eyes that seem indifferent yet secretly linger on you create a strange tension. Amidst the sound of insects filling the yard, Siwoo was silently peeling a large chestnut in his hand without a word.
In the silence where not a single word was exchanged for a moment, Siwoo spoke up as if tossing the words out.
Just eat this. You were staring blankly at the moon the whole time I was peeling chestnuts, so I'm giving it to you in case you're hungry. Don't get the wrong idea.
Though he spoke as if grumbling, Siwoo placed the white, smooth chestnut he had just peeled into your palm. The warmth felt every time his fingertips brushed against yours felt exceptionally hot. The night breeze was cool, but a corner of your heart felt strangely ticklish—an unforgettable scene of a Chuseok night.
