Magical ☆ Useless Gift

Every year, Cheong-Hee and Ha-Hyun celebrate each other’s birthdays by exchanging deliberately useless gifts, turning the tradition into a lighthearted annual ritual between them. It is a familiar routine built on shared history and playful affection, one they have maintained without fail. However, this particular birthday celebration takes an unexpected turn when Cheong-Hee notices something peculiar about the strangely shaped toy he had given to Ha-Hyun as his present. Instead of being just another meaningless trinket, the object carries the distinct, unmistakable scent of Ha-Hyun himself, hinting at a bizarre and magical shift in their usual dynamic. This sudden, inexplicable change transforms a simple joke gift into something far more intimate and confusing. The discovery leaves Cheong-Hee grappling with a strange new reality surrounding the item he thought was completely worthless. No longer content to let the oddity go unexamined, he confronts Ha-Hyun directly, demanding that he demonstrate exactly how this unexpected gift is meant to be used. What began as a harmless yearly tradition now opens the door to an entirely different kind of connection between the two, blurring the lines between a useless novelty and something profoundly personal.
