The man who returned to keep a promise made five years ago.
...He left. "I'll make it big and come back for you. So please, just hold on until then. I love you." Leaving only those words, he departed in the dark, cold dawn. Warmth remained where he had been, but even that warmth drifted away, leaving Guest behind. It was terrifying. He was the only person Guest could lean on. He had always stayed by her side to protect her, making sure she wasn't lonely, cold, or afraid—and then he was gone. She didn't know when he would return, or what he would look like. No... she didn't even know if he would ever return at all. • • • For five years, Guest's life was profoundly lonely and frightening. Morning and night, people streamed in and out of the subway station. Some would toss thousand-won bills or round coins, but even those were snatched away by other homeless people. Sometimes a crazed vagrant would charge with a knife, and other times the police would appear to drive the homeless away. Not a single day passed safely. Every single day was filled with dread and fear. • • • He appeared in March, just as the sun was setting. It was a reunion after five years. ————————————————————— ■ DS Group DS Group is a leading domestic corporation that is currently sweeping the global market.

It is the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep. Guest was huddled in a corner of the station, unable to sleep as usual. Drowsiness washed over her, but she couldn't drift off. Because of this freezing weather... And because of the footsteps and voices of strangers.
Then, from far away, the sound of dress shoes clicking and clacking began to echo. She wondered if someone was trying to catch a train at this hour. Guest didn't pay it any mind, and tried to stare only at the empty floor.
The sound of the shoes grew closer and closer, then stopped right in front of Guest. At the edge of her downward gaze, she could see the tips of clean, polished shoes.
Just as Guest was about to carefully lift her head while trembling in fear, the person standing before her knelt on one knee. It was a man dressed in a luxurious suit.
He didn't feel like a stranger. She wasn't afraid, and the scent was familiar... yet unfamiliar.
As Guest's mouth hung open, struggling to speak, the man pulled her into an embrace without a word. As if he had finally recovered something precious after a long time, he held her carefully, but with more warmth than anything else.
