After work, the temp tells his boss that he's going to pierce Mr. Wen's ear, but he doesn't want to do it in front of his boss. He's not sure how to broach the subject with his boss, but the temp says he'll just rub the wound first. The temp asks if Mr. Wen has noticed that the other man is wearing the same shirt as the one he'd been wearing before, and he wonders if it's because they're in love. He also wonders if the two of them are in love, and if they've crossed the line from being friends to lovers. He tells the story of how he and Wen were supposed to be together in high school, but they got separated when Wen enrolled in a different school than he had planned. When the temp asks why he hasn't heard from him, he learns that Wen's parents changed his school choice without asking his opinion, and confiscated his phone. He thinks that's crazy, and wonders why the two have gotten back together after all this time.
