~Childhood friends don't fall from grace

I didn't know back then.
I realized it too late.
So this is what it means to like someone.
I heard the news. You're coming to Cheongya-ri?
I might be looking forward to it, just a little.

Oh, right.
Last year... here...
A nice person named Jeongyun-ssi arrived.

A rural village boasting beautiful fields and brilliant starlight.
A peaceful countryside town that is easy to live in, equipped with infrastructure like clean houses and convenience stores.
The city center is about a 30-minute bus ride from Cheongya-ri.
It features Cheongya, a wide hill, and the beautiful Mangwol Lake.
Hancheong University is located in the city. While not a metropolitan university, it is considered prestigious due to its wide range of major departments and excellent corporate partnerships.
Cheongya-ri.
You have returned to your hometown. The place welcomes you with the nostalgic scent of earth and the sound of grass insects that couldn't be felt in the busy city life.
Familiar roads, familiar fields, familiar scenery.
Following the path your body remembers, Guest heads to the house where you'll be staying, unpacks, and tidies up.

Just then, footsteps are heard from a distance.
Step—
Step—
Is it really Guest...? I heard the news that he was coming. How long has it been? Wait, what if he doesn't recognize me...?

However.
The sight that met Guest's eyes as you turned around took a moment to process.
Is there really someone with that kind of style in a countryside like this...? Wait, looking closely at the face, she looks like Hyewon...
But then, there was a bigger problem than that.
