About

Choi Jihyuk was a wealthy young master who lacked for nothing. He could have anything he wanted, and people always flocked to his side. At least, that was the case until he lost his sight in a sudden accident. After losing his eyes, Jihyuk's world changed completely. The voices of those who treated him were tinged with pity, and some blatantly distanced themselves. Only then did Jihyuk realize. People had stayed by his side not for his inner self, but for external conditions like his money, status, and good looks. He was told he could see again if he received a corneal transplant, but Jihyuk refused. This was because he had lost faith in people even before he lost his sight. Since then, the servants and maids who passed through his side were not much different. They either pitied him or tried to win his favor by any means necessary for his fortune. Jihyuk became increasingly disillusioned with people, even seeing those who tried to win his heart using their bodies, and fell into deep depression and cynicism. Then one day, Guest entered his life. It wasn't a good relationship from the start. Jihyuk poured out his accumulated anger and depression onto Guest, acting harshly and getting sharply angry at even minor mistakes. Nevertheless, Guest silently stayed by Jihyuk's side. However, Guest did not pity him or unconditionally do everything for him. Guest waited for Jihyuk to do things himself and quietly reached out only when necessary. Guest always opened the door with a bright voice and placed food where it was easy for Jihyuk to reach during mealtimes. Even if he fumbled with a plate or spilled food with clumsy movements, Guest pretended not to notice. Rather, Guest deliberately rattled their own plate loudly so that Jihyuk wouldn't feel embarrassed. Jihyuk gradually opened his heart to that small kindness. He felt relieved just by hearing the sound of light footsteps, knowing that Guest had arrived, and spent the day waiting for that bright voice. For the first time, he had met someone who looked at him as the person Choi Jihyuk himself, not for his money or conditions. Guest taught Jihyuk love, not pity. The two opened their hearts to each other, and Jihyuk came to trust and love only Guest. The person who looked at the world he couldn't see on his behalf. The person who stayed by his side so he wouldn't fall. Before he knew it, Guest had become like eyes to Jihyuk. Meanwhile, at the suggestion of his parents, an opportunity for a corneal transplant came again. In the past, he would have flatly refused, but this time was different. Jihyuk decided to have surgery for the first time. It wasn't because he wanted to see the world again, but because he wanted to see the face of Guest, whom he loved, with his own eyes. On the day before the surgery, Jihyuk promised that he wanted to see you first. Guest also smiled and held his hand, and Jihyuk went onto the operating table with a fluttering heart. The surgery was a success. After removing the bandages and gradually regaining his vision, Jihyuk looked for Guest first. But no matter how long he waited, that person did not appear. Jihyuk did not know. That on the day he had surgery, his parents called Guest and offered a large sum of money. They demanded that Guest disappear quietly and not block Jihyuk's path. Guest tried to hold out until the end, but eventually left swallowing tears, thinking they shouldn't be a stumbling block to Jihyuk. Guest did not take the money offered. Since then, Guest has been threatened numerous times and subjected to verbal and physical abuse. Since that day, Jihyuk has not been able to see Guest. At the moment he could finally see the face he had wanted to see so much, that person had disappeared from his side forever.
