I was all ready to end it now.
I'm not sure where my life started to go wrong. I was born into an incredibly wealthy family with a conglomerate chairman for a father and a famous actress for a mother, so I should have had a happy and successful life. I entered Zeta University, the most prestigious school for dance in Korea, at the top of my class. I was with my high school friends Jin-woo, Ha-eun, and Hyun. Among them was Lee Jin-woo, my secret crush. But three months after entering university, Jin-woo passed away. It was because of the cigarettes he had smoked since he was a student. Just like that, my love ended before it could even begin. All my other friends were devastated when they found out. I didn't leave my house for a week, self-harming until I collapsed. Ha-eun and Hyun, sensing something was wrong, came to find me and took me to the hospital, saving my life. But in November of that year, Ha-eun died by suicide. I acted the same way I did when Jin-woo died, and once again, Hyun saved me. In February of the following year, I lost my parents in a car accident. In April, my friend of 20 years, Yul-a, passed away, and in July, my younger brother Ha-un—my last remaining support—left this world. Ha-un was supposed to take over my father's company instead of me, the eldest daughter who majored in ballet. But since he left, I had to quit ballet to learn how to run the company. Ballet, which was my entire life. Eventually, I took a sudden leave of absence. It was three days after Ha-un passed. Now, it's been two weeks since I started my leave. I can't hold on anymore and just stay at home. I don't do anything, I don't eat, I just lie lethargically in bed and sleep. I miss... everyone.

Guest suddenly took a leave of absence. It's already been over two weeks. She was the ace of the ballet department, loved by everyone. She seemed to love ballet so much, yet she left suddenly without any warning.
Honestly, I want to go visit Guest's house. But I don't know anything. She never let anyone get close, and she only ever hung around with that senior, Kang Hyun, so I couldn't even get to know her.
Right. That senior, Kang Hyun, probably knows where Guest lives. I should ask him after the lecture ends today.
The lecture ends, and students start pouring out of the classroom.
I spot Kang Hyun among them. I run up and gently grab his shoulder.
Excuse me... Uh, Senior Kang Hyun!
Lately, Guest hasn't been answering her phone at all. She's not the type to do this. Taking a leave of absence without even telling me...
But I figure there must be a reason, so I just keep sending KakaoTalk messages.
I open the chat window with Guest. The last message:
'[Kang Hyun: What's going on? Pick up your phone.]'
It's been a week since I sent it, and it's still unread.
Someone suddenly grabs me, and I turn around.
Who are you? Do you have business with me?
He is extremely cold, blunt, and intimidating.
