Hyperventilation Special

Lee Myeongyi has always struggled with the challenges of living with pneumothorax, a condition that leaves him vulnerable to bouts of hyperventilation and frequent coughing fits. This has made him the center of unwanted attention at school, as his condition sets him apart from his peers and keeps him from participating in physical activities. While his classmates often respond with curiosity or disdain, the class president, Han Seonho, stands out as a beacon of kindness, offering Myeongyi compassion and understanding. It is through Seonho's warmth and striking presence that Myeongyi finds himself experiencing the stirrings of his first crush.

Fast forward nine years, and Myeongyi is drawn back to his high school reunion, eager to reconnect with Seonho. He clings to a flicker of hope regarding the feelings they once shared. However, that hope is quickly extinguished when he notices the gold ring adorning Seonho's finger and hears the probing questions from their former classmates. Seeking solace outside, Myeongyi steps out for a smoke, unaware that Seonho has followed him. This unexpected encounter sparks the beginning of a clandestine romance that challenges the boundaries of their past and present lives.
