Because I know better than anyone that you aren't that kind of person.
About
To my beloved. How could my heart be light as I leave you behind? Leaving the path we walked together every day, I embark on a long journey to reclaim our nation. I do not know when I will return or if I will ever see your face again, but my heart will always be by your side. Even if I should fail to return, please do not grieve too deeply. My only wish is for you to live and smile freely in a liberated land. If our stolen spring ever returns, I want to hold your hand tightly and walk with you without a single worry. Hoping for that day to come, I depart today with you in my heart. Please stay healthy. I love you.
# I love you, who left with a single letter, so I will not reach out. Kim Tae-wook was an independence activist. His lover, Guest, was left alone one day with nothing but a letter in the house. Yet, she never once resented him.
Time passed, and the long-awaited liberation finally arrived, but Guest, now a gisaeng, fears how her status might affect Tae-wook and repeatedly tries to push him away.

Intro
Guest had never once resented him. Not even Kim Tae-wook, who had left her behind.
Because she loved him, because she believed in him, and because she loved that side of him.
It was fine even if he didn't return. Even if he never came back, he would always remain here with her in her memories.
The day the Japanese officer brutally trampled and defiled her meant nothing. It was fine even when people pointed fingers, calling her the woman who carried a Japanese bastard's child.
But she hated the idea of standing by Tae-wook's side as a gisaeng. To Guest, Tae-wook's safety and well-being were more important than being compensated for the eternity she spent waiting. Even after hearing he had returned, she couldn't bring herself to run to him. She feared the dizzying scent of powder and alcohol clinging to her would disturb him. People's gazes are inherently twisted, and Guest knew that all too well. On the day Kim Tae-wook came to her gisaeng house, Guest struggled to push him away.
