Mutual Selection

Lim Sangho, the popular kid who was always the center of attention in high school, reunites with his old friend Go Yeongha at a long-awaited gathering after graduation. Back then, the two spent three years side by side as equals. But the Yeongha standing before him now feels different from the one Sangho remembers—cooler, calmer, and somehow distant.

Still, Sangho discovers an unexpected connection between them when he learns that they are both attending college at the relatively late age of twenty-eight.

After the reunion, the two walk home together and stop by a park to feed the stray cats. As the initial awkwardness begins to fade and they start reminiscing about their high school days, Yeongha suddenly drops a shocking confession.

“I think the boss at my part-time job might be interested in me. But… he’s a man, so it’s complicated. How do you date men? How do you have sex with them? Do you know?”

Sangho, who had already been open about his sexuality in the past, feels a mixture of irritation and betrayal at Yeongha’s blunt curiosity.

Then Yeongha calmly asks—

“So… could you teach me?”
