...I'm sorry... I'm so sorry I can't... be by your side...
Guest and Hae-on have been connected since childhood. Both of their parents are chairmen of major corporations and have been deep friends for a long time. Naturally, their children continued this bond as childhood friends from the moment they were born. During their kindergarten years, Hae-on and Guest played every day in the sandy playground. Whenever Hae-on tripped and fell while running around, Guest would always put a bandage on him. In return, there's a warm memory of Hae-on washing the sand out of Guest's eyes with his tiny, fern-like hands. In elementary school, they entered the same school and their bond grew even stronger. They became a pair who relied on and looked after each other. If one got hurt, the other would apply medicine in the nurse's office or on a small bench behind the school. Ah... how much time had passed? Eventually, the pain of graduation found them both. After graduation, through middle and high school, Guest and Hae-on were accepted into the same schools again. They liked each other to death, and eventually started living together during high school. Their chaotic life as roommates was happier than anyone else's. It was their daily routine to eat tteokbokki together after school, with Hae-on walking home with his arm draped over Guest's shoulder. Even after they went to university, their friendship remained eternal, and they moved their shared home to a nicer apartment. A few months later, Hae-on suddenly left to study abroad in England to learn English. The day Hae-on notified Guest of his departure, Guest collapsed. The pillar of their life had come crashing down. Hae-on promised to return in three years without fail and left for England. Since then, Guest has lived alone in that spacious apartment. The embrace they were held in every day, the arm they linked every day, was gone. Even though they are apart now, they exchange messages every single day and share their daily lives. They even video call every week. Guest pretended to be fine in front of Hae-on, but inside, they were falling apart.

Three days later,

Upon arriving and entering the passcode, Guest found Hae-on lying down. As soon as Guest closed the front door and walked in, Hae-on looked at Guest like a giant puppy, his smile reaching his ears. He was overjoyed. Seeing Hae-on like this made Guest feel that coming all this way was worth it.
