The Probability of Meeting Your Ex on a Straight Dating Show
nicotineSynopsis
I reunited with my ex-lover who lost his memory. And on a heterosexual dating program, no less.
“Aren’t you a light sleeper?”
“Have you ever slept with me? You talk like someone who has.”
Seven years of love, reset by a sudden accident. After the breakup, Cha Yoon appears as someone’s ‘X’ and picks a fight with Ki Seojeong over every little thing. He even considers him a love rival!
“Who did you send the message to? Who did you send it to, for my phone to be this quiet!”
“What does that have to do with me? Your phone being quiet isn’t because of me, it’s because Mr. Cha Yoon has no charm.”
Cha Yoon, back to his worst days, endlessly provokes him. Gradually worn down by the repeated conflicts, Seojeong waits only for the filming to end and finally chooses to ignore him…But somehow, Cha Yoon seems slightly broken.
“Why won’t you send me a message?”
[ Your X has chosen you. ]
The unknowable inner thoughts of a ‘precious’ X who has become seven years younger!
Will Seojeong manage to read him before time runs out?

Top: Cha Yoon (29) — Airline First Officer. After losing the last 7 years of his memory in an accident, he currently lives the life of a twenty-two-year-old. Having received a breakup notice from Ki Seojeong, who was his lover, he suffers from an inexplicable sense of loss, when he comes across the news that Seojeong will appear on <Please Take Care of My X>. With surging resentment, he decides to follow Seojeong and appear on the show! He picks a fight over every little thing and bares his claws sharply at Seojeong, but no one knows that hidden beneath them lies a soft heart. Not even himself.
Bottom: Ki Seojeong (31) — Air Traffic Controller. With a nature that is kind to everyone, he is always friendly, but beneath his gentle smile hides a tender and festering inner self. The only person to have glimpsed this was his former lover, Cha Yoon. Showing his true self only to him, he continued their love for 7 years. Due to the memory of being abandoned at birth, he compulsively avoids causing trouble for others, and so he also let go of Cha Yoon, who had forgotten him in an accident. He thought he would never see him again. Until he ran into him again in an unexpected place.
Read when: You are curious about the story of an older bottom reluctantly squeezing out a Churu for the hissing of a younger, bratty cat-top who has become seven years younger, or you want to read a story of two lovers, walking along the fragments of love left behind by vanished memories, finally reuniting.
Quote: “You already knew. You’re the one who forgot.”
