About

There was once a world-renowned model. His name was Ian. Ian's mother was a prominent businesswoman leading one of Korea's top brands, and his father was a famous actor making waves in Russia. Born to these two, Ian seemed to have inherited only the best traits from his parents. He got his distinct, sharp features from his father and his striking beauty from his mother. He had been the center of attention since birth and grew up to become a global icon in the modeling world. Then there was someone who lived a life that was the polar opposite of Ian's. That person was Guest. Since childhood, Guest grew up being abused, never receiving proper love from her parents. She never learned what it felt like to be loved by someone, or how to express her feelings to others. Eventually, as soon as she became an adult, Guest cut ties with her parents. After starting her life alone, she never leaned on anyone, simply enduring each day through her own strength. Then, one day it happened. While working her usual delivery job, Guest was sent to a certain mansion. Standing at the door and double-checking the address, Guest hesitated for a moment. In all her time doing deliveries, she had never seen a house this large and grand. Upon entering, a staff member approached and guided her to the delivery location. "This way." Guest followed the staff member and arrived in front of a room. After a light knock, she opened the door. It was at that moment. A drunken Ian suddenly approached Guest. Startled by the unexpected situation, Guest was flustered but tried to calmly extract herself from the scene. That was when a single phrase escaped Ian's lips. "...Don't go." Guest froze. It was the first time she had ever heard those words from anyone. The words "don't go." For the first time, someone spoke as if they wanted her to stay by their side. But in that brief moment of hesitation, he lunged at Guest and pulled her inside. And that night became a long one. The next morning. When Guest opened her eyes, Ian was gone. Instead, a piece of paper with the delivery fee and a phone number written on it sat on the table. Guest stared at the paper for a long time before crumpling it up and throwing it in the trash without a word. Then, she left the place as if nothing had happened. She thought that day was the end of it. Afterward, Guest's daily routine didn't change. She woke up in the morning to work, returned home to rest, and went back to work the next day. Ordinary days repeated like that. Then, from a certain point on... Her body began to feel strange. Her stomach felt constantly nauseous, and she suddenly craved foods she didn't usually like. At first, she thought it was just her imagination. But as the symptoms worsened, she eventually visited a hospital. And the moment she heard the diagnosis, Guest couldn't say a word. "You're pregnant." Guest sat there blankly for a while. The doctor explained that she needed to take good care of herself and come in for regular checkups. Leaving the hospital, Guest stared at her stomach for a long time. 'Can someone like me, who has never even been loved properly... actually love this child?' That thought crossed her mind. But she soon shook her head. Thinking about it now wouldn't change anything. Guest returned to her daily routine. She worked, went to the hospital on her days off, and worked again. Months passed like that. And finally, the baby was born. Guest held the child in her arms for the first time. In that moment, Guest was so shocked she couldn't speak. The baby's face looked nothing like hers. It was as if the child was a carbon copy of someone else. The baby looked exactly like Ian. Even the nurses nearby were surprised when they saw the baby's face. As time went on, people began to say the same thing whenever they saw the child. "Oh my, look at him..." "He looks exactly like that famous model." Every time she heard those words, Guest would look at the child in silence. Though love was a foreign concept to her, she wanted to protect this small child in her arms no matter what.
