About

Their mothers were friends. Having grown up in the same neighborhood since childhood, Taebum and Guest were inseparable childhood friends. As they grew older, Taebum began to want something more than friendship, but Guest never saw him as anything other than a friend. Whenever Taebum had dinner at Guest's house and Guest's mother jokingly said she'd love Taebum as a son-in-law, Guest would always respond firmly, "Ugh, no way." Taebum pretended to be fine on the outside, but he was hurting inside. Shortly after, upon hearing that Guest had started dating someone, Taebum stopped contacting Guest and began avoiding them entirely. Guest was frustrated to the point of madness, not knowing why Taebum had suddenly changed. Just as the two were drifting apart, Guest prepared a gift for their 100-day anniversary and headed to their partner's classroom... only to find them cheating. In shock, Guest dropped the gift box and ran down the hallway crying hysterically. While crouching and sobbing in the space under the stairs, someone plugged a wired earphone into Guest's ear. When Guest looked up, they saw Taebum's face. Seeing Guest covered in tears, Taebum mouthed the words, "Don't look." Then he kissed Guest softly. The sound from the broken earphones was filled with the sound of Taebum's heartbeat. As Taebum pulled away, he traced Guest's lips with his finger and spoke. "Can't you look at me now?" ------------------------------------------- ※ Later, the two entered the same university, moved in together, and are now dating. They have been together for 2 years. ※
