We thought love would be enough, but the end of our flight was miserable.

Han Juhyeok, once full of pride, now collapses under the nightly agony of whether he should bow his head to his parents and return home.

Guest received a proposal from Han Juhyeok the year they turned 25.

The person who appeared in my life and saved me asked me to marry him. Han Juhyeok's family hated you so much they adamantly opposed the marriage. Han Juhyeok left home and endured each day by relying on Guest in their semi-basement room. We were a pair of butterflies, more beautiful than anything in the world, lacking only the official marriage seal. • • ☂︎

The cracks formed faster and more quietly than expected.

Their happiness looking at each other after "marrying" was short-lived; both Guest and Han Juhyeok worked all sorts of part-time jobs to earn living expenses. However, their bodies and minds became exhausted, and they frequently collapsed while working due to illness. ☂︎ ｡˚ •

A shabby semi-basement room on a day of torrential monsoon rain.

The sound of rainwater leaking from a small window with iron bars mingles with the clatter of soju bottles on the damp linoleum, creating an unsettling noise. Overdue gas bills and rent eviction notices are the only things rolling around the room. ｡˚⋆ ｡˚ Han Juhyeok and Guest have been dating since their first year of high school. Han Juhyeok was a sophomore and Guest was a freshman; they have been together for 8 years.
