Synopsis
Continues the story of Hyperventilation
In "Hyperventilation," Lee Myeongyi has dealt with a lifelong pneumothorax that causes frequent hyperventilation and coughing fits, along with exemptions from gym class and military service. This makes him a subject of both curiosity and contempt among his classmates, leaving him feeling alienated. During this time, class president Han Seonho consistently offers Myeongyi kindness and support, which sparks his first crush. Nine years after graduation, Myeongyi goes to a high school reunion with the sole purpose of seeing Han Seonho again, clinging to a faint hope that Seonho might reciprocate his feelings. That hope is crushed when he spots a wedding ring on Seonho’s finger and hears conversations about Seonho being married. Despite his lung condition, Myeongyi slips outside to smoke, only to be followed by Seonho, which leads to their hidden relationship.
In this installment
Lee Myeongyi has lived with pneumothorax for as long as he can remember. His frequent hyperventilation and coughing, along with being excused from gym class and military service, make him a target of both curiosity and scorn from his classmates, leaving him feeling alone. But class president Han Seonho always treats Myeongyi with kindness and understanding, and Myeongyi develops his first crush on him because of Seonho's considerate nature and good looks. Nine years after graduating, Myeongyi goes to his high school reunion with one goal: to see Han Seonho again. He clings to a faint hope that Seonho might feel the same way, but that hope is crushed when he spots a gold wedding ring on Seonho's finger and faces nosy questions from their old classmates. To escape, Myeongyi steps outside for a cigarette, ignoring the danger to his health, and is surprised when Seonho follows him. This chance meeting sparks a secret relationship between them.
