A Man’s First Love Follows Him To The Grave
[This is Seo Kyuwon. My number has changed. Do not give my number to Lee Pilwoo. We fought.]
I broke up with Lee Pilwoo.
Now, not even tears would come out of Seo Kyuwon. And for good reason, as this was already their seventh breakup.
— Exactly why did you break up?
“……Because I love him.”
— Ha… There you go with that bullshit again…
Contradictorily, the reason for every repeating breakup and reunion was “love.” From some point on, they had reached a state where being broken up wasn’t really being broken up, but even so, Kyuwon did not doubt for a second. He believed that this time, truly, it was the end with Lee Pilwoo.
[What are you?? Why are you sitting here???]
[What, did I come somewhere I’m not supposed to be?]
…Until he ran into Lee Pilwoo in the lecture hall, he really thought that would be the case.

Gong: Lee Pilwoo (24) — 1st year student at Hankuk University, Department of Veterinary Medicine. A clean-cut, innocent-looking handsome man with a striking appearance and a large build approaching 190cm. A brilliant student who never once missed being ranked first in his entire school, yet because he becomes clumsy in the face of love, he tends to be handled and looked after by Seo Kyuwon in everything. After his seventh breakup with Kyuwon, he retook the college entrance exam and entered his current school. He is prepared to become pathetic if it means staying by Seo Kyuwon’s side.
Soo: Seo Kyuwon (23) — 2nd year student at Hankuk University, Department of Clothing and Textiles. Possessing a height close to 180 and a slender body with a flashy appearance, he was once famous as “Seo Kyuwon of OO High School.” A bold, pure-hearted type who hit on his high school sunbae, Lee Pilwoo, a hundred times before successfully landing a relationship. He loves Pilwoo passionately, but he is now exhausted by the repeated breakups and reunions. Upon facing the eventual seventh breakup, he thought they would really end it this time. Until he discovered Lee Pilwoo on campus.
