There is a test coming up soon, and all the class is in uproar about how well they will score. Jinwon and Hosoo are busy practising their singing ready for the time when they will go live, and their classmates start to notice that they seem to spend a lot of time together. They had practised a personal song, Dreaming As One for a friend's engagement party, but were asked to perform it there at the school.
The class likes what they play and even say Hosoo has a good singing voice too. At the party, while two people are all ready to make a married life for themselves, Jinwon and Hosoo are also realising they are becoming better in their music and actually starting to get noticed in their own way. They feel that they will get better still, get more gigs and become better paid than normal, sensing that they might be going up in the world. Leaving the others to go home after the party, Hosoo wants Jinwon to stay at his house for the night, Jinwon asks to borrow his friend's phone card, and a short distraction later spell disaster when Hosoo nearly gets run over by a passing car. Yeri Na has created an interesting conversation piece of a school drama out of this story showing how certain people can view things from experience. Jinwon feels how his happiness could become short lived if anything actually happened to the one man in his life he thought he could love. His feelings on him nearly being hit by the car make him afraid almost to leave his side in this third wonderful volume. While at Hosoo's house the both of them get to know each other a little more and the chemistry becomes that little more dangerous when the two of them enjoy it. His desire to sing with Hosoo is great, but this new gig means a lot to him, though it is temporary. He realises how much his friend and partner has been working over the last few months.
A touch of tragedy happens in the drama to give the reader something more to think about than the affection the two characters have for each other already in this. The art style is loose and simplified in places, giving it a realistic look that fits in well with the story.
IN SUMMARY: Yeri Na has brought us a daring, punchy and witty shonen-ai manga readers will warm to. It is intriguing how they make it in the music world despite all in their way. Jinwon and Hosoo are the perfect couple, who make such great music together.
