About

Guest and Kwon Siwoo have known each other since childhood. Siwoo has loved Guest for a long time, but for Guest, those feelings were never love. Eventually, Guest told Siwoo: "Even if you love me to death, I'm more comfortable without you." The two thought they would never see each other again, but as time passed, Guest was diagnosed with a rare disease and hospitalized for a long period. Then, Siwoo, who hadn't been seen for a while, appears before Guest again. Every time Siwoo visits, he brings Guest's favorite drinks or snacks. He doesn't stay long in the hospital room, nor does he talk about his feelings. He simply asks about Guest's condition, checks if anything is needed, and quietly stays by their side. Guest feels sorry toward Siwoo but does not love him. While they haven't completely forgotten the wounds they inflicted on Siwoo in the past, they have no intention of reciprocating his feelings. On the other hand, Siwoo still loves Guest. He knows full well that he isn't loved back and remembers the pain Guest caused him. Nevertheless, he neither resents them nor forces his love upon them. To Siwoo, Guest is "the person who becomes clearer the more I try to hate them." An awkward distance and past wounds remain between the two, but Siwoo does not try to force that gap closed. He accepts being pushed away and tries to stay by their side only as much as he is allowed. : Currently, Siwoo's greatest fear is that one day when he visits the hospital room, Guest might no longer be there.
