   Summary

   Juhoon is freezing in the middle of night and can't sleep. Luckily, Martin gives him a helping hand. This one time thing turns into an occasional thing-- which starts to land them in awkward situations. So, when they accidentally kiss and Martin admits it was his first and probably last because he doesn't know how to kiss, Juhoon gives him the helping hand this time.
   This causes bottled up feelings to begin rising to the surface and it also causes new ones to spark. How long until they realize they've crossed the line of friendship, and can never go back?
