Tsumi—a college junior in the prime of his youth—was riding high on carefree college life. Thanks to his best bud Kai setting him up with a part-time gig writing profiles for sex workers, he was living it up with his close friends. Still, with a spotless record in love and no girlfriend to speak of, Tsumi couldn’t help but wonder, “Is this really what youth is about?” A devout virgin who believed that a first kiss should be reserved for the one true person, his craving for a relationship was only growing stronger. One ordinary day on campus, while dozing off, Tsumi suddenly felt a soft brush against his lips… Startled awake, he spotted someone slipping out of the classroom. His prized first kiss had been stolen. Devastated by the loss, Tsumi sprang into action, determined to find the culprit. But how was he supposed to go about it? Roaming the campus and blurting out, “Did you just kiss me?” felt overwhelmingly awkward. With no other option, he resolved to interrogate every potential suspect, vowing, “I will catch the culprit at any cost.” Little did anyone know that his pursuit would end his whole notion of youth… “Hey, um, this might sound super awkward, but…did you just kiss me?”
