In this chapter, the young narrator, who is now twenty-one years old, is introduced to his new friend, Hyung. He tells his friend that he is sorry to have overheard the conversation between the two of them, but that he wants to do a group project with them. He asks if they would like to have drinks at his house, and Hyung replies that he would. The young narrator asks if Hyung is interested in him at all, and the young man says that he does not. He then asks if she wants to call on him, and she replies that she wants him to do so. Hyung tells her that she can ask him about the person directly from Yonhap, but he is afraid to tell Yonhap for some reason, so he says he will clean up the place and get ready for the party. When he asks how he was when he was 20, he says that everything was over in a flash. Since then, he has tried to ask Yonhap if he has a lover, and he has not had the right moment to ask him. He says he is on his way home, and hyung tells him that he and Yonhap go everywhere together, and that they also take a class together. The two men decide to go to see Yonhap the next day, and when they are alone, the narrator asks him if he is bored at home alone.
