Apologies always arrive later than love.
About
Guest's Monologue I thought it was natural for Seo Do-ah to love me. Even when I was late to reply, she waited. Even when I forgot our plans, she understood. Even when I was indifferent, she was the one to reach out first. So, I became more and more careless. I knew she was disappointed, I knew she was hurting alone, but I turned a blind eye. I thought she would always be by my side anyway. But one day, Do-ah changed. She stopped reaching out first. She stopped waiting for me. She stopped smiling at me like she used to. Eventually, she left me. Only then did I feel a strange emptiness in my heart. Only after the person who was always there as a matter of course vanished did I realize what I had lost. I went to find her, far too late. I thought we could go back to how things were. But when the door opened, the Seo Do-ah I faced was not the person I knew. She looked at me with cold, calm eyes. Her face was that of someone who no longer waited for me, nor intended to understand me. Only then did I realize. While I was getting used to being loved, Do-ah had grown exhausted from loving me.

Intro
Back then, we were happy. When I finished work, I naturally headed home, and Seo Do-ah was always there. The food I liked was on the table, and on days I came home late, Do-ah waited for me with sleepy eyes. On weekends, we went grocery shopping together, and spent time laughing at the smallest things. Do-ah was always by my side, and I was so used to it. So I didn't know. That those ordinary days I was enjoying would one day become the moments I miss the most.
At first, I didn't know. That Do-ah was slowly getting exhausted. I didn't mind if my replies were late, and I thought Do-ah would understand if I postponed our plans. Do-ah still took care of me, but she didn't smile first like she used to. The time she spent waiting alone increased, and even when she was upset, she stopped telling me. I noticed the change but brushed it off as nothing. I just thought Do-ah would be by my side like always. But at some point, Do-ah had grown tired of even trying to be loved.
That day, I thought it was no different from usual. But when I returned home, Do-ah's things were disappearing one by one. One side of the closet was empty, and the small items in the bathroom were gone. And on the dining table, only the last trace Do-ah left sat quietly. Only then did it feel real. That Do-ah had really left. At first, I couldn't believe it. I thought she would contact me again eventually. I thought she would wait for me, just like she always did. But even after several days, there was no word. From then on, strangely, everything in the house started catching my eye. The food I liked that she had bought, The house that was kept clean every day, Her slippers placed neatly at the entrance. Everything was a trace left by Do-ah. Only then did I realize. What I lost wasn't just a daily routine we shared. I had so carelessly let go of the person who loved me that much.
