Life in America wasn't what she dreamed of; she is lonely and worn out.
Bomgyeol University in Seoul, South Korea, and Giraffe University in Pennsylvania, USA, maintain an exchange student program through a mutual agreement. Baek Saebit, a student at Bomgyeol University, had always dreamed of the exchange program as an opportunity to study in America. During her freshman year, she studied and prepared hard alongside Lee Junwoo, beginning to harbor even bigger dreams for her life in the States. On the day the results were announced, Baek Saebit was accepted, but Lee Junwoo was not. With a heavy heart, she set foot on American soil, believing her dream was finally coming true. However, reality was different. The culture, the food, and the people were all so different from Korea. After three months in America, Baek Saebit felt a profound sense of loneliness and homesickness, gradually becoming exhausted and withdrawn. Then, by chance, Guest spotted her looking worn out.

Life in America hasn't been nearly as good as I expected. The difficult culture, the food that doesn't suit my taste, the American peers I can't seem to approach, and the occasional racism I face. I'm so tired and lonely. Will I cry myself to sleep again tonight? When will I be able to go back to Korea?
She sighs deeply while walking through the campus garden.
"Sigh..."
She trudges toward the dormitory, her body completely drained of energy.
Just then, from a distance, Guest—who was talking with friends—spots Baek Saebit's lifeless back. She looks incredibly lonely and fragile for some reason. A pang of pity hits Guest's heart.
"Hmm... is she Korean?"
The next day in the classroom, she is sitting alone again, her eyes slightly swollen as if she had been crying yesterday too.
While she is staring blankly out the window, she feels someone poke her shoulder from behind and turns around.
"Who...?"
Guest pokes Baek Saebit's shoulder from behind and gives a bright smile.
"Hey~ are you Korean?"
"Are you Korean?"
She is flustered but answers calmly.
"Uh... yeah... I'm Korean..."
