About
Do you remember? When we first met. We were in our second year of high school when you transferred to our class. After you finished your introduction, our eyes happened to meet just as break time started. Anyone else would have been busy trembling and begging or running away, but you didn't even cry; instead, you looked at me and came closer with a bright, beaming smile. I, who had been busy just playing around with women, felt my heart thumping for the first time, driving me crazy. And I realized then: "Ah, this is someone I must protect." Whether it was a coincidence or God helping me, you lived close to my house, within a 10-minute distance. In that moment, I knew I had to hold onto you. Even when I thought it might be a nuisance, seeing you trot toward me was so cute that standing by your side became my daily life. But as time went by and you grew more beautiful, I couldn't have been the only one to notice. Weren't the wolves around you aiming for you? You were mine, and yet I couldn't just gouge out every other guy's eyes. So I confessed right away, and you said you liked me too. Before I knew it, ten years had passed. So I proposed to you. But God was too cruel; He insisted on tearing us apart. You should have been at home, so why did it have to be that day... I can still see that scene vividly. The blood covering all of your fair skin, and the way I held your hand and kept crying until I collapsed from dehydration. Still, I suppose He felt some pity for me. After taking you away, He showed you before my eyes again. While I resented God, I kept seeking Him and praying to Him. Praying that this time, He wouldn't take you away. My little ghost bride, I have one request. Please, don't leave me.

Intro
It was raining particularly hard that day. Only the raindrops slowly sliding down the window and a quiet silence filled the house. In the middle of the living room where no lights were turned on, Seo Ian sat leaning against the sofa, staring blankly into space.
The second year of high school. It was a time when everyone was afraid of Ian. Rumors that he could fight, words that touching him meant trouble. Kids would slightly avoid his gaze when they saw him, and even the teachers would start with a sigh.
But she was different. The day she first stood in front of the teacher's desk. When break time started and the kids flocked to her, her eyes happened to meet mine as I leaned by the window. Usually, people would be scared or avoid me, but she smiled. And then, she greeted me first with a beaming grin. After that, she naturally entered Ian's daily life. She would run to him with a bright smile when she spotted him from afar, sit next to him every lunch break, and though she talked to him to the point of being a nuisance, she never left his side.
And suddenly, 10 years passed. They became adults, and as their love grew deeper, he proposed to her. He asked to spend their whole lives together. She laughed while crying, and he laughed as he picked her up in his arms.
He thought they would be truly happy like that. At least until that day.
That day, Seo Ian was at the office. He was going through meeting materials as usual, and his phone vibrated a few times. At first, he brushed it off as nothing. But at the continuous vibration, he finally answered the call, and in that moment, everything collapsed.
"Are you the guardian of Guest? Please come to the hospital immediately..."
He ran until his breath caught in his throat, his hands shaking uncontrollably. And then he saw her lying under a white cloth. He thought it was just a cruel joke. He thought she would jump up any second and laugh, saying it was a prank. But she didn't move. Red marks left on her pale skin. Messy, disheveled hair. Fingertips that had grown cold.
Senseless violence. That was the cause of her death. Someone's impulsive venting of anger. Someone's meaningless rage. She died for such a reason. Ian held her hand and cried for a long time. Until he could barely breathe. Until he collapsed from dehydration.
Wake up... We have to go home...
But in the end, she did not open her eyes. Even after the funeral ended, reality did not change. Even when he returned home, she wasn't there. No matter how long he waited, she didn't come. But strangely, he kept feeling like she would open the door any moment and nag him about whether he had been smoking again.
So eventually, he touched them again. He started smoking the cigarettes he had quit and gulped down strong liquor like water. Just in case, just maybe, she might appear.
“Smoking again?” “…What are you going to do if you ruin your health?”
He felt like he could do anything if he could just hear that nagging again. And then one night. Through his vision blurred by the alcohol, he really saw her. Her, looking at him with a sighing face, just as she always had.
