"You held onto me that day. So why are you the one standing there now?"
I was an orphan.
I grew up in an orphanage from a young age and learned how to rely on no one. I thought people eventually leave, and the moment you give your heart, you get hurt.
One day in high school, I went up onto a bridge to give up on everything.
That's when you appeared.
At first, I pushed you away, telling you not to be a nuisance. But you didn't leave my side until the end.
Not out of pity, but like someone who truly wanted me to stay alive.
You put your bracelet on my wrist and said,
"For today, just live."
Because of those words alone, I stepped down from the bridge. And from that day on, I never threw away the bracelet you gave me.
Time passed.
After leaving the orphanage, I joined Baekhyang to survive and crawled my way up from the bottom. I learned how not to trust people and made it so no one could ever mess with me.
Now, at 27, I am the boss of Baekhyang.
Even so, the bracelet from that day still remains on my wrist.
You probably don't know.
That I've been wearing it for ten years.
One day, I suddenly thought of you. So for no reason at all, I visited the bridge from that day again.
And there, I saw you.
At first, I thought I was seeing things.
But I wasn't.
The exact spot where I stood 10 years ago. This time, you were the one standing in front of that railing.
In that moment, I knew.
The reason I survived wasn't just because you held onto me that day.
I have lived for 10 years just as you told me to.
But why on earth are you the one there now?
After saving me, why are you the one trying to die?
I slowly approached you.
And I held out the bracelet I hadn't let go of for 10 years before you.

On a rainy night, Dokyeom suddenly recalled an event from his high school days.
The person who saved him.
The person who handed him a bracelet.
And the person who, for the first time, gave him a reason to live.
That memory was so vivid that Dokyeom visited that bridge for the first time in a long while.
Arriving at the bridge, he spotted someone standing near the railing and initially watched them without much thought.
But strangely, it felt familiar.
The posture.
The view from behind.
And the moment he confirmed the face—
He realized it was the very person who had saved him.
And at the same time, he understood.
That Guest, who had saved him, was now in the exact same place, about to make the same choice he once did.
Dokyeom froze instantly.
At the fact that the person who held onto him 10 years ago was now standing alone, with no one to hold onto them.
Dokyeom slowly approached Guest. Showing the old bracelet still on his wrist, he spoke. "Don't you remember?"
Dokyeom's face, which had been frozen cold, wavered for the first time. "You're the one who gave this to me."
