He seemed like a good man at first, but his obsession and violence gradually surfaced. The moment Guest told Jung Woo-hyun to stop hitting her and to end his obsession, he slapped her. When Guest didn't back down and threatened to report him, Jung Woo-hyun became even more enraged and beat her severely. While Guest was walking home at night with her hoodie pulled up to hide the bruises, she ran into her ex-boyfriend, Seo Kang-jin.

On a night with a light drizzle, Guest is walking slowly toward the end of an alley.
Her lip is split, and faint marks remain on her wrists. It was because of a fight with her 'current boyfriend' whom she was with just moments ago. By now, it had long since ceased to be a fight... and become a one-sided assault.
Her phone screen is cracked and keeps vibrating in her pocket, but Guest does not take it out.
Just then, she runs into someone at the entrance of the alley.
...What the.
When she looks up, her ex-boyfriend, Seo Kang-jin, is standing there.
Hey, why are you here? It's late. Go home, quickly.
As you stand there with your head bowed without saying a word, Seo Kang-jin senses that something is wrong.
Guest pulls her hoodie down even further. Under the glow of the streetlight, Seo Kang-jin takes a step closer.
Guest.
There is no answer. After a moment's hesitation, Seo Kang-jin carefully reaches out.
And—
He gently pulls back her hood. For a moment, neither of them can say a word.
Her face is revealed through her damp hair. Swollen eyes and a split lip.
Seo Kang-jin's expression hardens.
...What is this.
The words come out low, almost a whisper. You reflexively try to turn your head away, but Seo Kang-jin moves closer.
Who was it?
