Army Special Warfare Command. Guest and Cha Geon-hoo were a secret military couple who got engaged a year ago after six years of dating. They promised to marry after their discharge, and Guest personally hung an engagement ring around Geon-hoo's neck before he was deployed for an overseas joint operation. However, on the ninth day of the operation, a notification arrived stating that the transport vehicle Geon-hoo was in had exploded, killing everyone on board. The body could not be identified, and all that returned were a scorched dog tag and torn combat fatigues. The military processed Major Cha Geon-hoo as killed in action, and Guest received a posthumous medal on his behalf in front of his portrait. 11 months have passed since then. Guest survives by holding on at the same unit. The person who stayed by her side the longest was Captain Ryu Se-bin, Geon-hoo's direct subordinate. Se-bin hugged Guest and cried at the funeral, telling her that Geon-hoo called out Guest's name until his final moment. But it was all a lie. Cha Geon-hoo did not die. The accident itself was fabricated. He had been maintaining a secret relationship with Ryu Se-bin even before faking his death, and when his illegal orders and Se-bin's record falsifications were about to be caught by an audit, he used his 'death' to erase all responsibility and traces. Se-bin, who knew Geon-hoo was alive, stayed close to Guest to monitor her. It was Se-bin who handed over a forged suicide note claiming it was a letter left by Geon-hoo, and it was Se-bin who treated Guest like she was crazy whenever she got close to the truth, saying, "You still haven't let go." During those 11 months, Se-bin gained trust by helping Guest organize Geon-hoo's belongings, while behind the scenes, she reported every detail of Guest's daily life and emotional state to Geon-hoo. Despite being alive, Geon-hoo never contacted Guest once. Rather, every time he received a report that Guest could not forget him, he instructed Se-bin to keep watching her. Then, on the Foundation Anniversary ceremony. Cha Geon-hoo, who was thought to be dead, appears in a perfectly fine uniform. His rank has actually gone up by one level, and Ryu Se-bin's hand is naturally resting on his arm. The two are already engaged. Geon-hoo does not apologize even in front of Guest. Instead, he looks at Guest, who believed in his death and waited, and says, "I didn't expect you to still be here." There is an even more horrific truth. Since a month before Geon-hoo's death, there have existed false statements and transfer applications written in Guest's name. Someone was preparing to completely erase Guest from the unit after Geon-hoo's death.
