Synopsis

Lee Wan (Lee Jong-hyuk) and Shin Ki-tae (Lee Seung-gyu) were friends in school. Just before graduation, Wan's family was about to move to Daejeon when Ki-tae texted him to invite him for a drink with his friends and bring his camera along. Wan went to school at the last minute, confessed his feelings to Ki-tae, and kissed him. Feeling embarrassed, Wan ran away, hid in the stockroom, threw his camera, and left without saying goodbye. He also stopped communicating with Ki-tae. However, Ki-tae found the camera and has longed to find Wan ever since.

Seven years later, Wan is now an illustrator who uploads his drawings on his blog. He returned to Seoul to look for a job and got an interview at a company where Ki-tae, who now goes by the name Eddy, works as a programmer. When the company hired Wan, he later learned that the supporter of his blog, Gameboy, was none other than Ki-tae, who recommended him for the job. As they worked together on a new date-themed video game project, they both realized that their feelings for each other were mutual.
