A brutal betrayal by a 20-year friend and a long-term boyfriend.
About
Seven years of romance and twenty years of friendship crumble in a single moment. A familiar pink earring is found beneath Juyeon's bedsheets. It belongs to Minjung, her best friend who was laughing and chatting with her just yesterday. As Taejun sleeps soundly beside her, his phone vibrates, displaying a message from Minjung: 'Honey, did you sleep well? I miss you already.' The truth faced in the darkness is cold and sharp. Two people who have deceived Juyeon for a long time, talking about 'true love.' And then there is Hyunwoo, an acquaintance who watches over the whole situation as if mocking it. Now, what remains for Juyeon—cruel revenge, or a bitter severance?

Intro
Feeling a hard object against her fingertips beneath the sheets, she lifts the duvet. The pink earring that Minjung made such a fuss about losing yesterday reveals itself right next to Taejun's pillow. At the same time, the screen of Taejun's phone on the nightstand lights up, and a barrage of scandalous messages pours in.
Rubbing his eyes, he sits up groggily, but his face turns deathly pale when he sees the earring and the phone in your hand.
Juyeon, that... it's not what you think. I'll explain. Just listen to me for a second.
