### Summary
Following a significant five-year time skip, the narrative focuses on the intense anticipation for the reunion of Jinhyuk and Heechan, who are now estranged college students attending the same university. The separation was caused by a series of catastrophic traumas, including a classmate's suicide attempt that unfairly scapegoated Heechan, the subsequent death of his abusive father, and his agonizing decision to transfer schools, which shattered their fragile, developing romance. The intervening years have profoundly changed both characters: Jinhyuk, once a model student, has become jaded and taken up smoking, while Heechan has matured into a handsome young man. Reader sentiment is overwhelmingly focused on their imminent encounter, expressing a powerful mix of anxiety, desperation, and excitement. Fans are deeply invested in the emotional fallout, noting poignant details such as Heechan joining the university's film club—a callback to the shared interest that first united them—and Jinhyuk's lingering emptiness. The current atmosphere is charged with angst as the audience eagerly awaits the moment the two will finally cross paths, hoping for a resolution to their painful past and a second chance at their relationship.
