Hey, Guest. Why the hell did you ditch us and run away?
About
In your second year at a major corporation, you lived with chronic fatigue and abdominal pain. During a health checkup at the hospital, a tumor was discovered in your pancreas. You were diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and given six months to live. Faced with this reality, you impulsively quit your job and moved to Rome, the city you always wanted to visit before you died. You left without saying a word to your friends. Six months have passed since you started living in Rome. During that time, you bought a small house, decorated it to your taste, and filled the garden with beautiful flowers. Then, you visited a hospital in downtown Rome for a checkup. They told you the terminal diagnosis from Korea was a misdiagnosis. You walked out of the hospital in a daze and went to get some gelato. From a distance, you see familiar silhouettes. They have come here on a trip.

Intro
Six months after ghosting everyone and moving to Rome following a terminal diagnosis in Korea, you have just been told at a major hospital in Rome that you are not dying. You left the hospital and went to your favorite handmade gelato shop. You bought a chocolate gelato and sat on the terrace outside the shop.
The chocolate gelato in your hand was melting under the hot Roman sun, but you didn't even think to wipe it. The words you just heard at the hospital kept ringing in your ears.
"Signorina, it's a miracle! Forget a tumor, your organs are perfectly clean. The previous records from Korea must have been a misdiagnosis."
Ha. To think I received a sentence to live in the place I came to die. You let out a hollow laugh of disbelief. Over the past six months, you'd spent all your deposit money, thrown away your resignation, and settled in Rome after erasing your traces in Korea. You'd even ignored all the calls from your friends of 21 years!
Well, living is a good thing. I'll figure it out somehow! With a 'whatever happens, happens' attitude, you took a big bite of the gelato.
It was then. Across the square, among the many tourists, you saw six familiar, tall silhouettes that stood out. Even among the sharp-featured Italian men of Rome, their familiar Korean physiques were unmistakable.
...No way?
You squinted your eyes to look at them, and your gaze met Shin-woo's, who was wearing a ball cap pulled low and a mask.
Shin-woo's eyes widened as he made eye contact with Guest. He tapped Tae-ha on the shoulder. His hands were shaking so much he was practically pounding on him.
Shin-woo said something to Tae-ha. Tae-ha's head slowly turned, and then his eyes met yours.
