Characters[]
Maehwa Yang[]
In the last year of High School, Maehwa says to his friend Sehyeong that they should study and has filled out his college application. Not liking sports since he gets sweaty, Maehwa decides maybe he does like soccer having observed Jaewon playing. Unexcited at his school graduation, Maehwa considers it was a dull end to a lukewarm crush he never acted on. Not sure what to make of Jaewon in his college classes, Maehwa is also distant from Yeonan and Dalguk upon meeting them. Speaking upfront how he refuses to head to classes with Jaewon, he does not need to be in a more awkward situation than this. While he was planning to stay as casual acquaintances and drift apart with time, Maehwa finds he somehow got integrated into Jaewon's friend group. Still intending to get distant, Maehwa can be brusque in his speaking, all conduct stemming from not wanting to be hurt anymore.
Jaewon Myeong[]
Carefree in enjoying soccer, it extends to Jaewon leaving his college application at home. Having missed the college orientation since he was travelling, Jaewon speaks with Maehwa having noticed him in class. Friends with Yeonan and Dalguk, he questions what Maehwa is doing back there and requests that he come join them. Mentioning how the campus is so big and he gets lost easily, Jaewon suggests to Maehwa that they should start going to classes together every morning. Also asking if he would like to go to the cafeteria, Jaewon is keen for Maehwa to join him and his friends in ventures. Declaring himself the barbecue god, as the youngest in his family, Jaewon is used to helping his two older sisters. Passing some barbecued food to Maehwa, he awaits his response. Proud with himself since he likes it, Jaewon announces that Maehwa finally approves of him.
Sehyeong[]
Wondering when Maehwa became a model student, Sehyeong feels it is like he has got a lover in class or something. Crying having been rejected by a girl, Sehyeong says for Maehwa to show him some empathy. Although he knew the girl liked someone else, Sehyeong felt it was better to share how one feels rather than regret it later having not said anything. Planning to attend the same college as Maehwa, at seeing Jaewon sat next to him, Sehyeong asks with amazement whether this is a new friendship. When Yeonan and Dalguk joins them, Sehyeong is happy to detail Maehwa's antics to them and others around.
Student[]
A girl in Maehwa's class. Approaching him, she asks whether he has finished his college application.
Yeonan[]
Calling to Jaewon in he lecture theatre, Yeonan mentions how they only have a few classes together. Yeonan also shares how he sleeps over at Dalguk's. Recognizing Maehwa from the welcome party, Yeonan says it was fun thanks to him. Five-fiving Maehwa, he is also happy to hear from Sehyeong what random stuff Maehwa buys. Greeting him again later, Yeonan is upset at his lukewarm reaction as he questions is Maehwa not glad to see him. Having never played pool, Yeonan states he will have beginner's luck. Hearing how Sehyeong became a class rep, Yeonan pours him a drink in another case of him being friendly and socializing well with others.
Dalguk[]
Described as aloof, Dalguk is shocked when Yeonan shouts loudly in the lecture hall. A sculpture major, he is often dragged along with Yeonan to where he is going where he is otherwise quiet around others. While he lives in his own expensive residence, like Yeonan he prefers studying in Sehyeong's apartment. Since Dalguk is rich he is allowed there anytime, which he quizzically thanks Sehyeong for.
Seung-A[]
In class she asks Maehwa if he has seen the announcement about the class field trip. With it having been arranged to go with Maehwa among others, Seung-A happily greets him at the bus stop.
Eunha[]
Answering Jaewon that her name is not class rep, Eunha also wonders why he is heading to the direction of the female dorm. Informing him of the upcoming field trip and the direction of the male dorm, Eunha responds to his thanks by saying to buy her lunch. Not seeing his name on the list for the class trip, Eunha states that if Jaewon does not have a group yet he should join his.
Minji[]

Story[]
There are people who will never touch, like two parallel lines. People may share the same time and space, yet will never mix with one another. In class opposite one another, Maehwa feels this describes him and Jaewon.[1] After Sehyeong mentions how it is so hot, Maehwa reminds him they need to get ready for class. Noticing a game of soccer taking place outside, Maehwa focuses on that as Sehyeong mentions how they need to allow students to use the air conditioning. His attention brought back where he was watching Jaewon playing it, Maehwa answers maybe he does like soccer.
In class, Maehwa is approached by a girl who questions did he finish filling out his college application as it is due today. While he has, Jaewon answers that he left his at home. Maehwa's first reaction upon realizing that he had a crush on Jaewon was to give up. Where Sehyeong has been rejected by a girl he likes, Maehwa considers his words whether it is better to make the attempt rather than never know.[2]
The graduation ceremony is about to start, and it is not what Maehwa expected. Not spotting Jaewon around them, Maehwa answers Sehyeong that he does not really want to come to the gathering tomorrow. Other students nearby receive a call from Jaewon, and Maehwa overhears that he has a cold so is not coming to the graduation. Suddenly telling Sehyeong that he will come, at the gathering afterwards, Maehwa finds Jaewon arrive. Recalling how he regarded Jaewon's empty seat in the classroom, Maehwa reflects on how it was a dull ending to a lukewarm crush. With that last thought, Maehwa thinks his uneventful first love has come to an end.
Having reached university, in lecture hall B, Maehwa finds Jaewon asking if he is okay and considers his first love is standing right in front of him.[3]
