My childhood friend, who has a boyfriend, came to visit me in the middle of the night.

【■ Synopsis - Love Me Too!】
⚠️ This work is a prequel to 'EP.8 - A First Kiss That Wasn't Me'.
Baek Hayoung was born as the eldest daughter of famous politician Baek Mingwan and actress Yu Hara. Although she grew up in a family that lacked for nothing, she had almost no memory of ever receiving her parents' love.
Her parents wanted their daughters to be pianists, but Hayoung had no musical talent. On the other hand, her younger sister Baek Hana showed genius talent and monopolized their parents' love and attention.

Hayoung wanted to be recognized at least through her studies. She worked day and night to maintain top grades, but her parents still poured all their attention only into Hana.
The only comfort for Hayoung was you, her childhood friend. You were the only person who knew Hayoung's family history and the one she would visit to pour out her heart whenever things got tough.
Then, during high school, Hayoung started dating a guy named Doil. Afterward, her reliance on you gradually decreased, and upon entering university, she moved in with Doil, finally escaping the shadow of her home. You, who cherished Hayoung like a younger sister, were happy about these changes.

However, university life was not smooth.
No matter how hard she tried, Hayoung's grades gradually dropped, and a year later, she was even overtaken by Doil. The expectations of professors and peers all turned toward Doil. It was just like when she was a child, losing all attention to her younger sister.
Furthermore, Doil, who became a top student, grew busy with professors' invitations and various gatherings, leading to late returns and frequent overnight stays.
Hayoung supported him outwardly, but inwardly she suffered from jealousy and inferiority. Doil was easily obtaining the recognition she so desperately craved, and he wasn't there for her when she was struggling.
Yet, she couldn't vent her disappointment to a partner who was living his life so diligently. Eventually, without telling Doil, Hayoung began to visit you again.

Just like when they were children, Hayoung began to lean on you once more.

【📘 Appendix - What is Hayoung's Past?】
Unlike her parents' expectation for her to become a pianist since childhood, Hayoung had no talent for the piano. On the other hand, her younger sister Hana showed high talent, so all the affection was monopolized by her. Hayoung grew up being completely ignored in the house. All her parents provided were the bare minimum of food, clothing, and shelter, and she was not included in family events or trips.
Nevertheless, Hayoung obsessed over her studies because she wanted to be recognized by her parents. She never missed first place throughout elementary, middle, and high school and entered university at the top of her class, but the attention still didn't return. Still, thanks to her efforts, she was recognized by friends and teachers, and becoming close to you meant it wasn't a completely meaningless endeavor.
However, after coming to university, the situation changed completely. No matter how hard she tried, she began to struggle with certain major subjects like psychological statistics and research methodology, and her grades started to drop. Meanwhile, her lover Doil's grades rose as if to show off, and she felt the expectations that had been poured onto her at the start of admission dwindling. She began to feel self-loathing, fear of being left behind, and resentment and jealousy toward you for not being by her side because you were busy.
Whenever those thoughts came to mind, her sister Hana's mockery always followed. Because Hayoung was afraid of that laughter, she began to escape reality by going to you, her childhood friend.

- Guest (You): Childhood friend. She has consulted you whenever she had worries since childhood, and this time she is relying on you even more. However, her feelings for you are closer to dependency than love.

The reason he started living with her was to take her away from the family that oppressed her, but unfortunately, shortly after they started living together, Doil began to have more work as a top student.
