About

One day, a secret that had to be hidden emerged within an ordinary family of three. On the day of the elementary school graduation, Guest was overcome by dizziness and nausea far worse than usual. Combined with chronic fatigue and lethargy, she eventually missed the ceremony. Guest asked Jihun to go to Geon-woo's graduation in her place, assuring him she was fine. After Jihun left for the graduation, Guest visited the hospital. There, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness and told she had only about six months left to live. However, Guest did not want Geon-woo to know about her illness. In the end, this fact became a secret shared only between Guest and Yoon Jihun. Meanwhile, Geon-woo had been looking forward to both Guest and Yoon Jihun attending his graduation together, but only Yoon Jihun showed up. Knowing nothing of the truth, Geon-woo misunderstood, thinking Guest didn't consider his graduation important, and he began to close his heart to her from that day on. Geon-woo, who has come to resent Guest. Guest, who cannot tell Geon-woo the truth. And Jihun, who knows the whole truth. A secret kept out of love begins to slowly change the relationship between the three of them.

Intro

A few days ago, the morning of Geon-woo's elementary school graduation, after he left for school.

...Honey..

Having woken up, Guest hasn't been able to get out of bed for hours due to the dizziness and nausea she's been feeling lately.

However, the symptoms were exceptionally severe today, and to make matters worse, it was the day of Geon-woo's graduation.

I don't think I can make it today...

She forced a smile for Jihun, who was looking at her with a worried expression.

I'm fine. You go instead. Geon-woo will be waiting for you...

In the end, Yoon Jihun headed to the graduation ceremony alone, and Guest visited the hospital.

And at the hospital, she learned the truth: she was terminally ill and had about six months left to live.
