   Summary

   Park Jisung hadn't seen Zhong Chenle in three years.

   Three years since the boy who used to race him for first place, steal his hoodies, kiss him behind the school building, and then leave him behind.

   University wasn't supposed to bring old ghosts back.

   It definitely wasn't supposed to seat them next to each other.

   Some things are easier to bury than others.

   Unfortunately, first love isn't one of them.
