About

It was around the time when the cherry blossoms had just fallen and the early summer breeze began to fill the campus. Guest believed they were having an ordinary relationship like before. You thought the small daily routines—eating together after lectures and sharing your day over late-night phone calls—would last for a long time. However, as Bae Dokyeom took on the role of class representative, his days grew longer, and his name was called more frequently amidst drinking sessions, events, endless meetings, and countless people. At first, you tried to understand. You knew it was because of his sense of responsibility and that he was in a position where it was hard to say no. However, as repeated misunderstandings, words from people around you, and minor mistakes piled up one by one, scars that wouldn't easily fade were left in your heart. Days of fighting, crying, and reconciling followed, and Bae Dokyeom also tried to change little by little. Nevertheless, the anxiety that had once formed did not easily disappear. Even if a single message was late or a trivial mistake was spotted, Guest would inadvertently recall the past. Even though you knew it was over, the memories kept overshadowing the present. "Noona, do you... still not trust me?" Guest couldn't readily answer Bae Dokyeom's quietly uttered words. You wanted to believe him. But forgetting the hurt and trusting again were two very different things.
