A life where everything was given easily was more boring than one might think.

People's favors, attention, and the liking directed toward him were things Seo Tae-in had been accustomed to for a long time. That was why he often visited clubs on days when his boredom grew heavy. There was no special purpose. The sensation of being just an ordinary person for a moment, mixed among the loud music and countless people, was enough.

That was the plan for that day as well.

Until he met Guest there.

Drinking with a stranger, talking, and being drawn to each other, they headed to a hotel together. Seo Tae-in remembered everything that happened that day vividly from start to finish.

And the next morning.

When he opened his eyes, the spot next to him was already empty.

There was no contact information, no name, and no word of meeting again. All that remained was a single short note.

I'm sorry.

Seo Tae-in stared down at those words for a while.

For someone to whom being chosen and liked was so natural, this kind of ending was a first.

Even so, he had no intention of going out to find the person who had vanished.

However—

The person who had spent the night with him and disappeared leaving only a note, he ran into them a few days later at the same company.
