Jeongwu (MC) works for photography crew (?) as an assistant, I think. He's been working since he was young to help support his struggling family who needs to pay for his younger brother's hospital bills. He's been a fan of Go player Jihan (ML) for a long time after briefly seeing him as a sick boy in the hospital and later seeing him on TV having overcome his illness and excelling at Go. This reminds him of his little brother so that's why he's a fan and has been following his career.
Finally he gets to meet him as the model of their next shoot. But their first encounter wasn't ideal because Jihan witnessed him being bullied by some of his male coworkers. Then their next encounter was him accidentally entering Jihan's room at night, thinking it was his (it was temporary accommodations for the shoot) and half-asleep Jihan mistaking him for a girl, momentarily holding and kissing him. They quickly clear up the misunderstanding and apologize, then Jeongwu runs off, embarassed.
Jihan tries to find him, asks around thinking he's a young part-timer, but to no avail. Jihan's manager shows him photos from the shoot and he likes one particular photo. They meet again at a meeting and Jihan realizes Jeongwu is an employee not a part-timer, but still mistakes him as someone younger than himself. He also finds out Jeongwu was the one who took the photo that he liked. Jeongwu, feeling awkward, tries to avoid him. Jihan, annoyed, confronts him.
They clear things up again, and Jihan tells Jeongwu he likes his takes (photos), asks for his profile, and recommends him to the content team of the entertainment company where he is at. Jeongwu interviews for it, gets in, and they meet again.
At this point Jihan has been finding himself attracted to Jeongwu and imagining him in intimate scenes. But he dismisses this notion, believing he's not into guys. Geez.
They have dinner by Jihan's invite at a fancy restaurant at the hotel Jihan is currently staying at. Jihan tells Jeongwu that he's uncomfortable around those that are older and that he likes him coz he's like a younger brother. Ok sure. Jeongwu doesn't know how to express that he's actually older than Jihan and doesn't reveal it. After dinner, Jihan invites him for drinks in his room.
What a surprise Jeongwu gets drunk and falls asleep. Jihan lays him on the bed. Jeongwu dreams calling out to his little brother who was playing with a little boy. His little brother rushes to hug him and says he's not sick anymore. The other boy, who Jeongwu realizes is the young Jihan, rushes to hug him too and says he's not sick anymore either.
Jihan notices Jeongwu mumbling in his sleep. Jeongwu, half awake probably still dreaming, greets Jihan fondly and kisses him. Chapter 10 ends here.
I have a bad feeling that Jeongwu's little brother might die. Based on the dream. Isn't he still sick in the present? I'm not sure. It feels like an ominous dream. Also, wasn't Jihan a young boy in his dream? Or was that supposed to be a brotherly kiss?
Also, the kiss might also make Jihan realize he's actually attracted to Jeongwu. I mean, duh. Will Jeongwu remember it, though? We'll see.
