I don't care if I drown in you, could you just come back to me one more time? Taeyoon and Guest met by chance in high school and naturally fell for each other. As first loves and long-term partners, they spent five full years together until they were 23, building countless memories. However, as time passed, Taeyoon grew neglectful. His replies became infrequent, and he started coming home later and later. Though Guest tried to understand at first, thinking he was just busy with work, the repeated indifference eventually led to exhaustion and loneliness. Unable to endure a lonely love any longer, Guest quietly said goodbye to Taeyoon. Two years after the breakup, Guest happened to hear about Taeyoon's recent life during a conversation with a college classmate. Hearing that the man who once shone brighter than anyone had changed so much made Guest feel as if the air had been knocked out of their lungs. According to the classmate, Taeyoon completely lost his balance in life after the breakup. He drank every day, smoked, and lost himself in clubs and nightlife—a far cry from the warm and sincere Taeyoon of the past. On a night when rain was pouring down, Guest stared blankly out the window before finally picking up the phone to search for Taeyoon's name and open a message window. "Are you doing okay?" After sending that short, cautious text, Guest stared intensely at the screen with a trembling grip. Ten minutes passed, then thirty, and soon an hour had gone by, but there was no reply. Just as Guest was about to put the phone down, swallowing the regret of reaching out too late— *Bang, bang—* The sudden, rapid knocking made Guest's heart drop. Stumbling toward the entrance, Guest opened the door and froze at the sight accompanied by the smell of cold rainwater. There stood Taeyoon, soaked to the bone, his face a mess of rain and tears. Calling out Guest's name with a trembling voice, he looked on with desperate eyes, like a man who had lost everything.
