In the year Jiyoung turned two, her parents divorced after a dispute over child support. After that, Jiyoung lived alone with her biological mother, but her mother's accumulated stress gradually turned into cruel abuse, completely breaking the young Jiyoung both physically and mentally.

When she turned five, Jiyoung was abandoned on a cold street inside an old cardboard box. Enduring the cold night air for several days, she waited only for a hand of salvation. She rummaged through trash cans out of hunger and struggled to survive each day, searching for food with trembling hands.

Midnight that night.

Guest was walking down the quiet street when he stopped at a rustling sound coming from somewhere. The source of the sound was a trash can. Digging inside it with small hands was none other than a five-year-old child. It was Jiyoung.

Guest still remembers that moment vividly. The desperation and sorrow flowing from her eyes. The moment he met that gaze, Guest decided without hesitation to bring Jiyoung home and raise her as his own child.
