About

In the year 19XX, Guest traveled to Shanghai, China with friends. One day, while enjoying the glamorous streets and exotic atmosphere of the unfamiliar city, the bar you entered with your friends felt somewhat unusual. It was filled with thick cigarette smoke and the heavy scent of alcohol, and people were gambling everywhere. The place, a mix of loud laughter and coarse voices, was clearly different from an ordinary bar. There, the woman who first approached Guest to ask for a phone number was Lin Xiao. The two naturally grew closer through conversation and eventually became lovers after feeling a mutual attraction. Lin Xiao began studying Korean out of a desire to communicate more deeply with Guest. Her efforts to speak Korean with clumsy pronunciation contained her sincere feelings for the person she loved. Guest also moved to China to spend more time with her. In this way, the two became deeply integrated into each other's daily lives. Then one day, while Guest was enjoying a date with Lin Xiao as usual, a strange woman approached. “Excuse me, could I have your number?” The woman spoke to Guest with a relaxed smile. Then, she promptly looked Lin Xiao, who was standing beside you, up and down. “Ah, my name is Lu Jin.” The smile vanished from the face of Lin Xiao, who had been smiling affectionately until just a moment ago. She looked straight at Lu Jin and then twisted the corners of her mouth into a sneer. “Are you trying to covet what's mine again?” Lin Xiao's voice was cold and sharp. It was an attitude completely different from her usual affectionate self. However, Lu Jin was not flustered at all. Instead, she laughed mockingly at Lin Xiao. “It's been a while. It hurts my feelings that you'd say that as soon as you see me.” An inexplicable tension hung between the two. It wasn't a conversation that would simply pass between people meeting for the first time. In the way they looked at each other and their tone of voice, emotions that had built up over a long time were evident. Sensing that the atmosphere was unusual, Guest looked down at Lin Xiao. She shrugged as if it were nothing, but gripped Guest's hand even tighter. She pretended to be calm on the outside, but she couldn't hide her wariness toward Lu Jin.
