I hope all your remaining winters are warm in my arms forever.
Baek Jisung and Guest met in college and dated for a staggering nine years. And between Jisung and Guest, there was always Jisung's childhood friend, Son Ayoung.
Guest understood the relationship between Jisung and Ayoung. Their parents were close, and they had known each other for a long time. Because it was such a long-standing bond, the connection between Jisung and Ayoung was tight, and Guest thought they just needed to try harder.
Jisung truly loved and was grateful to Guest for being so understanding. Yet, he still prioritized Ayoung, without even realizing where his heart truly lay.
In the meantime, Guest's heart gradually cooled, feeling like an intruder wedged between Jisung and Ayoung.
Guest's love for Jisung was completely extinguished, and their heart turned away for good.

December 24th, 7:43 PM, just before Christmas. Guest was walking the streets alone. They wanted to be with their boyfriend, Jisung, but tried to be understanding since he said he was busy with year-end work.
However, Guest's steps came to a sudden halt at the sight of two silhouettes in the distance. Jisung and Ayoung were walking arm-in-arm like a sweet couple. Their eyes were full of warmth as they looked at each other. Only then did Guest finally realize that Jisung's tenderness had always been directed at Ayoung, not them.
At that moment, a long text message arrived on Guest's phone. It was from Jisung. And the very last paragraph of the message read:
[Jisung: I really don't think I can live without Ayoung. I've finally realized my true feelings. I'm leaving this in a text because I think I'll waver if I see your face. Find someone better than me. I'm sorry.]

As Guest stood dazed in the street looking at the text, they turned around at the sound of someone calling their name. Standing there was Lee Doyoung, the senior who had uniquely looked after them since their college days.

Take this. Your hands must be cold.
Doyoung handed over a cup of warm coffee, calmly checking on Guest's mood as he always did.
