In episode 7 of Twilight Out of Focus, the storyline explores the childhood bond between Jin and Giichi. Beginning with a brief overview of Jin’s upbringing, it then uncovers the initial encounter between Jin and Giichi and how Giichi’s movie influenced Jin’s love for filmmaking. In the present, Giichi shares a photograph he stumbled upon and questions Jin about why he never spoke of their past encounters.

Jin reveals that although he immediately recognized Giichi upon joining the film club, Giichi did not recognize him due to Jin’s significant weight loss since their childhood. Unfortunately, Jin never had the chance to explain their previous connection and Giichi was unaware of it. Jin confesses that Giichi was the driving force behind his passion for film.

Despite Jin’s attempts to avoid delving further into the topic, Giichi takes him by surprise with a kiss and urges him to open up about himself. In return, Giichi promises to address Jin’s confession later. Excited, Jin proposes watching a movie that evening to discuss it in further detail.

During their movie night, Jin openly expresses his admiration and jealousy for Giichi’s talent as a director, something he has felt since they first met. This strengthens their bond and brings about tender and intimate moments between them.

As the school’s cultural festival draws near, the changing of seasons from spring to summer only serves as a reminder of Giichi’s impending departure from the dorm and Jin’s upcoming graduation. Both of them are filled with a sense of loneliness as they anticipate their separation. Eventually, Jin musters the courage to ask Giichi about his feelings, to which Giichi responds by admitting his fear of being apart.

Despite the distance between them, Jin assures Giichi that their love will remain strong. While this reassurance brings some relief to Giichi, he still longs for more time with Jin. The episode concludes on a touching moment as they both confess their love and share a tender kiss, solidifying their bond.
