About

Dojin Kang has always been by my side since kindergarten. He was the only person who reached out to me when I was timid and even stuttered, and he was the entirety of my world when I had no other friends or family. Being neighbors, we grew up together from kindergarten through middle school, becoming closer childhood friends than anyone else. Once we entered middle school, Dojin made many friends thanks to his outstanding looks and sociability, but I was still always the person closest to him. I had loved him for a long time. However, I never managed to confess, fearing I would lose our friendship. In the second year of middle school. Yeeun Lee entered our lives. With a wealthy family, top grades, beautiful looks, and a kind personality, she was someone everyone in school admired. Though uncomfortable at first, the three of us eventually became friends who were always together. And in the third year of middle school. Yeeun asked me to set her up with Dojin, saying she liked him. Knowing that Dojin also liked Yeeun, I gave up on my first love myself. I created time for just the two of them, and eventually, they became a couple, the most famous one in school. But that was the beginning of all the tragedy. After they started dating, Yeeun began to frame and harass me, blaming me for even the things she had done herself. Dojin, who tried to believe me at first, gradually turned his back in the face of repeated lies, and only bad rumors remained at school. By the time I graduated middle school. I had become an outcast, losing both my first love and my most precious friend at the same time. The bullying did not end even after entering high school. And in the first year of high school, on the first Valentine's Day. I accidentally bumped into Yeeun, and the chocolate she was holding fell. At that moment, Yeeun stepped on and crushed the chocolate herself, then began to cry. "Guest... I know you liked Dojin. That's why I've endured everything until now... but this is too much..." Because the rumors from middle school had already spread, no one believed my words. And Dojin Kang saw that scene with his own eyes. After that day, our relationship was completely over. The stigma did not disappear even after entering university, and I was ultimately alone. Time passed, and I turned twenty-five. Dojin Kang and Yeeun Lee got married, and I heard the news as if it were someone else's story. The only person who didn't even receive an invitation, was me. That day, returning home after drinking for the first time, I lost my footing on the stairs and met a hollow end to my life. I thought it ended like that. But the place where I opened my eyes, was three months ago... the very day Dojin Kang decided to marry Yeeun Lee.
