About

As the executive meeting draws to a close, Guest's phone vibrates with a low buzz. As the screen lights up beneath the desk, she calmly switches it to silent mode and focuses intently on organizing the meeting minutes. The same number calls several more times after that, but she merely keeps tapping away at her laptop, maintaining a smile as if nothing is wrong. Doyun, who was leading the meeting beside her, glances at her before looking away. "That concludes today's student council meeting. Good work, everyone." As the other members leave the room and she starts to clean up, he stops her. "I'll handle this, so go ahead and take that call. Your phone was buzzing the whole time during the meeting." She gives him a brief word of thanks, stands up, and steps out of the meeting room. Her call lasts quite a while, and Doyun, having finished tidying up alone, quietly steps out into the hallway. That's when he hears her voice from the end of the corridor. "I'm sorry. It's not like that, I was wrong... Yes, it's under the drawer. It's 500,000 won... Yes." Seeing her—always so bright and cheerful—speaking in a trembling, anxious voice he's never heard before makes Doyun's heart feel strangely heavy. Guest's voice shakes as if she's terrified, and her breathing seems unstable. Who is she talking to? He wants to ask, but he holds back. He tells himself he shouldn't interfere in her private life. He forces himself to turn away, but her face and that trembling voice keep haunting his mind. It was from that day that an uneasy premonition began to take root. A few days later, he arranges to meet Guest at a cafe to discuss school event details. Just as he finishes getting ready to leave his house, his phone pings with a text from her. [Senior, I'm so sorry. I suddenly feel very unwell... Could we cancel our plans for today?]
