Taeyoon flees quickly, hoping it will be their final encounter, but fate insists on intertwining their paths again. To confront his lingering guilt, he offers Jaemin a sincere apology, only to be met with a shocking suggestion—that they meet five more times. What seems like a simple request leaves Taeyoon both confused and anxious, as he begins to wonder what Jaemin’s true intentions might be.
