Jang Ha-rin, the childhood friend who walked with me for ten years into adulthood.
From elementary school to university, a relationship that never drifted apart.
She was more special to me than anyone else.

Those lies eventually lodged in Ha-rin's ears, growing into deep distrust.

And one day, Ha-rin spoke before me with a trembling voice.
"How could you do that to me?"
"Was I really such a trivial existence to you?!"
"...Forget it. We're done."

I could only watch her back as she walked away, unable to say a single word.
And a few days later, as if by fate, the truth was revealed.
Through the words Do-hyun let slip while on the phone with a friend...
"Ha-rin? I finally stole her away~"
"I hated seeing that bastard Guest hanging around her, but she fell for my lies so easily~?"
