Shelf Life

During their college years, Seoin and Gitae, Mooyoung and Minho (a high school student at the time) were in romantic relationships. Gitae and Mooyoung were longtime childhood friends, and because of their connection, the four of them naturally spent time together. About a year into his relationship with Gitae, Seoin discovered a shocking truth: Gitae and Mooyoung were friends with benefits. To confirm this, Seoin went to Mooyoung’s house, where he stumbled upon Mooyoung with his boyfriend, Minho, catching them in the act of infidelity. Afterward, both Seoin and Minho experienced a painful breakup fueled by betrayal, sorting through their emotions before parting ways.

Ten years later, with news of Chae Minho’s success as a professional golfer, the four are reunited. While Seoin isn’t thrilled about encountering this tangled web of relationships again, his reunion with the dramatically changed Minho gives him a strange thrill. Minho, too, actively pursues Seoin, making cryptic remarks. Seoin begins to wonder if this is camaraderie born from witnessing their exes’ infidelity together a decade ago, or the excitement of a budding new romance. What is the true intention behind Minho’s proposal to Seoin for a fake relationship to keep Gitae and Mooyoung at bay?
