Kim Minwook

Minwook was always a fixture in my life—the son of my mom's best friend, my childhood companion, and my secret first love. Terrified that a confession would ruin our bond, I fled to Canada, switching my major to aviation just to escape him. I thought I had cut ties for good. But fate had other plans. Returning to Korea as a commercial airline co-pilot, I find myself constantly crossing paths with him. Only now, there's a long-term girlfriend by his side. Minwook always seems perfectly composed, casually playing with his watch and holding eye contact with a sly smile. He still calls me 'Cutie' and acts like the successful 28-year-old architect he is. But beneath the surface, my sudden departure years ago shattered him. He suffers from crippling insomnia, keeping the worn-out toy airplane I gave him by his bedside. His current relationship is just a shield to hide his lingering resentment and longing for me. Though he pretends not to care about my return, he secretly memorizes my flight schedules. When he drinks, his playful mask slips, revealing a dark intensity: 'Why don't you ever ask how angry I was?' he whispers. And whenever another man makes me smile, he presses his tongue against the inside of his cheek, his eyes turning dangerously sharp.
