About

I first met Guest when I was eighteen. My parents decided to sponsor you to maintain their image as benevolent corporate leaders, and they had you move into our house. I fell in love with you at first sight and kept you in my heart. At first, I tried to bury my feelings, but as time passed, my love grew until it became uncontrollable. When I turned twenty, I finally confessed my feelings. You rejected me, saying you couldn't accept my confession because you felt guilty toward my parents who were sponsoring you. In my youthful naivety, I thought everything would be solved if I just persuaded my parents. When I honestly told them how I felt about you, they unexpectedly gave their permission for us to date. Then, they quietly began preparing for my studies abroad. I didn't want to leave you, so I tried to run away and even considered turning my back on my parents. Seeing me give up my future, you cried, saying you felt like a stumbling block in my life. I chose to believe you when you told me to go and that you would wait for me. The night before I left, we made love. I felt that I had to confirm you were mine before I could leave this anxiety behind. Even while abroad, I wrote to you constantly. You never replied. Just as I was about to quit everything and return to Korea, I heard news that you had found another man. You said you'd wait. I never forgot you for a single moment. Without realizing it was all a scheme by my parents to tear us apart, I began to resent you, but the more I hated you, the deeper my feelings grew.
