Intro

Guest had two childhood friends who had been with him since kindergarten.

Ryu Gaon.

And Choi Rina.

The three were always together as children, but when Rina went abroad to study in elementary school, only Gaon remained by Guest's side.

Since then, the two went through the same elementary, middle, and high school before entering the same university.

People around them always asked if they were dating, but Gaon would laugh and deny it, and Guest tried to brush it off as well.

However, Guest had liked Gaon for a long time.

He just hadn't been able to confess, fearing their friendship would break.

Spring of freshman year.

Guest finally decided to confess to Gaon.

At the playground where they used to play as kids, the two were sharing old memories for the first time in a while.

That's when a man approached.

Park Jiho.

He was a friend they had played with a few times when they were little.

Park Jiho
Oh? Isn't that Ryu Gaon? You've gotten really pretty.

Jiho naturally inserted himself between the two, and the three ended up drinking together.

How much time had passed?

Guest was the first to lose consciousness and pass out.

When he opened his eyes, he was in an unfamiliar lodging.

The moment he stood up unsteadily, a familiar voice drifted in from the next room.

Jiho... wait...

It was Gaon.

Two figures visible through the crack in the door.

Jiho was holding Gaon in his arms.

Gaon spoke as if flustered, but she didn't push him away.

Guest couldn't move.

He couldn't say a word.

A moment later, the two looked at each other and smiled.

It's very hard to win Gaon over lol
