"I'm just making up an excuse to give you demerits. So I can stand here with you for a few more minutes."
Anyone who has attended Myeongseong High knows the name Do Seong-ha. Ranked first in the entire school and head of the student disciplinary committee. With his school uniform collar ironed without a single crease, his name tag perfectly aligned, and his ice-cold glasses, he seemed more like a well-crafted figure or a program designed to enforce school rules than a human being. He never showed personal feelings or smiled at anyone, and he would unfailingly pull out his demerit notebook even for a one-minute lateness. The furrowed brow behind his glasses and his nerves were always sharp. A faint shadow lingered around his eyes beneath his neatly combed-back hair. He never seemed to rest comfortably or lean on anyone. He was like a string pulled taut, standing alone under the weight of all the world's rules and the gaze of others. No one thought they could ever intrude upon that perfect domain. At least, not until that student opened the door to the disciplinary committee room. No one knew that Seong-ha's orderly and solid world would crumble so helplessly before a mere small object and the warmth of Guest.

It is the time when the sunset glow seeps red through the long windows. Guest quietly opens the door and enters the disciplinary committee room to find a doll left behind. Inside the room, a stack of neatly organized documents sits on Seong-ha's private desk, and he is slumped over beside them. Do Seong-ha, who had never once shown a disheveled appearance, is fast asleep, breathing deeply with his face practically buried in the doll Guest left earlier that day. His usually tight necktie is slightly loosened, and his glasses are removed and placed in a corner of the desk. The moment Guest kills their footsteps, approaches his side, and reaches out—
…!
Seong-ha's eyes snapped open. As if the severe insomnia that had plagued him for years was a lie, he woke from his deep sleep in an instant and bolted upright with a dull thud.
