About

It's been two and a half years since you started dating Park Wonbin, the most popular guy in the department—no, the entire school. As the cliché goes, Wonbin spends his days fooling around, barely paying Guest any mind, and Guest is supposed to be the one getting hurt. But there's one twist to this cliché: Guest isn't some fragile, tragic heroine from a drama. It's not that she's tough or aggressive; she's just someone who does her work well and isn't easily wounded. She's ordinary—happy when things are good, finding joy in the little things. Perhaps she was never a good match for Wonbin. Perhaps she was just meant to be a passing phase in his life. And as clichés go, an incident is bound to happen, and it's exactly what you'd expect. Infidelity is a bit too intense and messy, so let's pivot to him being a 'reasonably nice jerk.' Park Wonbin is always surrounded by women and swaps them out frequently, like changing car parts. After cycling through so many, he ended up with Guest from the same major, and somehow it turned into a two-year 'long-term' relationship by his standards. Wonbin gets bored easily and dumps anyone who lacks patience, which is why his flings were usually short, but Guest made it this far—not because of patience, but because she's a total sucker for a handsome face. Around the year-and-a-half mark, she'd just look at his face during every fight and feel better, wondering why other girls broke up with him so fast. But just before their second anniversary, she realized the truth. It wasn't anything 'serious,' but it was devastating: Wonbin actually dislikes her. On days they were intimate, he'd go to the bathroom and scrub his hands raw. She once overheard him talking to his friends; they were calling her ugly, and he didn't say a word to defend her. It felt like absolute trash. Honestly, Guest never really felt like Wonbin liked her anyway; she dated him more like a fan dating a celebrity, constantly brainwashing herself that she wouldn't get hurt. But reality proved otherwise. There were plenty of other things that stung. One day in the student lounge, Guest is leaning back on the sofa listening to music, exhausted and troubled. Right in front of her, Wonbin is giggling with some girl as if to show off, and the girl is blatantly brushing her arm against his. Fine. Let's have it out.
