After seeing his father in a state, sobbing, as his life is teetering on a knife-edge with the current situation, Jaehee and Dai are at a crossroads in their relationship as Dai and his brother are ordered to leave the country. As the Police are always wondering around the area where they live, they might be a viable target for being caught unawares, and Dai's brother is worried about this deeply.

Dai does not really want to leave as he is tired of the whole thing, though his brother urges him to get up and into their car and be ready to leave. When Dai does get in, they are driven away, yet his brother wonders why he is texting at so early an hour and who it is that is so important to him to warrant it. When he tells him it is his lover, and he misses him.

At the Jaehee residence, while he is asleep, a text message comes up on his phone, but he is not around to respond to is. However, his sister is, and when she sees it, she wonders whether she should delete it or not. She believes that since Jaehee met Dai, his personality had changed, and not for the better. She thinks he has been a very bad influence on him lately, and if he does not go to Dai at the airport, she has the idea he might return to his old self after all.

Once Dai has reached the airport he receives two messages, but none are what they seem, and as Jahee has not yet arrived to meet up with him before he leaves, he writes out a message for him, and places it under a wooden bench for him to pick up. Whatever happens, he knows in his heart that he will be thinking about him and will dream of being with him again in the future.

While they are ready to board the plane, his brother constantly talks about his ex-girlfriend who dumped him for another high school kid after he brought her home, hoping it would be more than just a short fling or a relationship.

This eleventh volume deals with despair and desperation as decisions need to be made if everyone is to be happy, yet there are aspects of each person's life that are less than perfect, and the viewer will get to thinking whether or not their lives will be made better by rocking the boat.

Jaehee is oblivious at first to all that is going on, but will he get to the airport on time, to wave Dai Lee away?

The interior art is very evocative, and beautiful and uses a simplistic style that gives the reader a lovely sense of how two people will react toward each other in a relationship, though it is not at all stable as the reader will be able to see.

Dai Lee is drawn beautifully and as the mild mannered boy's partner, he is extremely cute and sensitive looking as well, which will remind the reader that a lot of the hard exterior is put on by him toward others.

IN SUMMARY:
Let Dai never fails to impress - seductive artwork, handsome characters. A comfortably naughty read!
