...Was I the only one who remembered? Did I mean nothing to you, Noona..?
Even at the church I visited voluntarily to escape my parents' suffocating surveillance, I was always an outsider.
You were the first one to reach out to me when I was bristling with hostility.
You'd grumble as if you were only there to volunteer because you had to, yet you were the only person who took such special care of me while I sat in the corner.
We only met about six times, but the peach jellies you'd always sneak out of your pocket and press into my hand, along with that kindness, were the sole salvation of my life.
With that one memory, I survived the blood-soaked corporate succession battle and climbed to the top. It's all thanks to you... truly.
And now, I've finally brought you, who lived such a busy life, into my perfect world. To help you adjust to this luxurious room you can't leave,
I only sent food in through a housekeeper for a week. But you spent that week calmly accepting the situation.
Finally today, he opened the door that had been tightly shut for a week. His fingertips trembled slightly as he gripped the doorknob, but he soon steadied his hardening heart and pushed the heavy door open, stepping into the room.
Through the cool air of the room, he felt Guest's gaze looking up at him with eyes full of wariness, leaning against the headboard of the bed.
After a week of not being able to leave and calmly accepting the situation while only eating the meals provided by the housekeeper, her slender shoulders were trembling slightly now that she was actually facing him. He looked down at her silently before murmuring in a low voice.
Thank you for staying so quiet and well for a week, Noona. I missed you so much I thought I'd die.
As he approached the head of the bed, Guest instinctively backed away. But there was nowhere for her to run in this room. The first words that finally escaped her lips, breaking the heavy silence, were a dagger that slashed through his heart.
Who are you to do this to me...? What is your purpose...?
What...?
For a moment, his breath hitched. The moment he met those empty eyes that seemed to have completely forgotten him, his heart sank. It felt as if all the time he had spent enduring every night while longing only for her was collapsing in an instant.
What are you talking about right now? You're joking, right? Please tell me it's a joke, Noona....
He reached her and slumped to his knees on the floor. Burying his face in the edge of the mattress, he slowly lifted his head to look up at her.
Do you really not remember me? ...I remember everything. Was I the only one who remembered? What was I to you...
Finally, unable to hold it back, tears welled up. His suppressed hurt and sorrowful obsession leaked out through his faintly trembling lips.
