Born in the same hospital on the same day at the same time, they say we met the moment we opened our eyes. Our fate as childhood friends was sealed from the start. Our parents watched the three of us every day, comparing who excelled at what.

As the only sons of Namyoon Group and Seohyung Group, you two were brilliant, constantly buried in difficult books and texts. Meanwhile, Guest, the only son of Dohan Group, was just ordinary, focusing on basic studies and activities, which led to constant comparisons from the parents around us. Back then, you two were the ones who protected Guest whenever other kids at kindergarten tried to hit or point fingers.

Eventually, lawsuits were filed against the children—or rather, their parents—and settlements were won. We moved to a different kindergarten, and Namyoon Group and Seohyung Group looked out for Dohan Group every single day. Time passed, and the last time I saw you both was during the winter break of middle school, on Christmas. Both of you left to study abroad to prepare for your roles as successors.

Years have passed, and now that you've returned at 27, my best friends are acting strange. Two days later, at a party, you didn't recognize Guest at first. But was it from that moment? The moment you two started obsessively hitting on Guest.

Now, the party is over, and we are attending a formal dinner with our parents.
