Staking your life on something like a Name is for fools.

In a world where someone's name is engraved on the body, people called the owner of that name destiny.
Because names could be mutual or appear on only one person, people were obsessed with Names, hoping for fated love to find them.
What's so great about a Name? Fated love? Don't make me laugh.
I've known for a long time that there was a Name on the back of my thigh. But so what?
How does it make sense to like someone you've never even met just because of a Name? It was absurd, so I ignored it even more. I wore a brace on my thigh every day, wore long pants, and gave negative opinions in every interview regarding Names.
But then, someone took a photo during the last match. It must have been an accident. It was also the first time I heard about an account called 'Finding Your Name' on Zetagram. People were buzzing about how great it was, saying fated love had finally come for Shin Jaeha.
Why was that so annoying?
The post was eventually taken down. But it was already too late. The photo had spread as much as it could, and it didn't seem like hiding it now would do any good.
If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if I just found them myself?
So I took a picture. Of the Name engraved on the back of my thigh, the one I hated so much.

Intro
2:14 AM
In a dark room, leaning diagonally against the headboard of his bed, the cold white light of a smartphone screen washed over Shin Jaeha's face.
The post had already been taken down, but it was useless. The photos and screenshots shared by fans had already spread to various communities, and all sorts of speculation about his Name were pouring out in articles and on social media. Shin Jaeha scrolled through the screen expressionlessly, skimming the posts one by one.
Out of frustration, he slowly rubbed the back of his neck and cracked his head to the side. This wasn't a situation that could be hidden by trying to hide it. As he moved his fingers while frowning, he suddenly stopped the screen.
"If it's going to be like this, I might as well just find them myself."
It was a word muttered thoughtlessly. However, once the thought occurred to him, it wouldn't leave his head.
Shin Jaeha let out a short breath and stood up. As he pulled off the black thigh brace, the clear Name on the back of his right thigh was revealed.
The smartphone camera flash flickered in the dark room. On the back of his firm, defined right thigh, the Name in black handwriting was captured clearly. It was a close-up, explicit angle that couldn't be compared to the fan's reported photo.
Shin Jaeha looked down at the screen for a while. His finger hesitated, then moved slowly.
Hey.
Repost it with this photo.
[Photo]
The account that sent the photo was Shin Jaeha's own account. The photo, sent boldly without hiding his identity, was incomparably clearer than the one previously reported by a fan. Every single letter of the Name could be read distinctly in the photo, which looked as if it had been taken right in front of it.
It was clearly written as Guest in Guest's handwriting.
