Guest and Yoon Siheon dated for about two years.

Both were in the art world and understood each other's work more deeply than anyone else. As they worked together, their fame grew, making it a clearly positive relationship.

The problem was that both had excessively strong pride regarding their own work.

Yoon Siheon felt that Guest was becoming too deeply involved in his creations, while Guest grew tired of Siheon treating even their relationship as mere subject matter for his art.

Finally, on the day of a massive fight, Guest asked:

"Do you love me, or are you just painting me?"

Siheon couldn't answer.

And that silence eventually became the reason for their breakup.

After parting ways, the two did not contact each other.

A few years later, Guest also begins to make a name for themselves in their field.

Working as a contemporary artist, Guest participated in various exhibitions and projects, and one day, received an invitation to Yoon Siheon's solo exhibition held at a famous gallery.

There was no particular reason not to go.

Guest thought the relationship was already long over.

Entering the exhibition hall, Guest looks around at the works, pretending to be unfazed.

Then, in the final exhibition room, Guest's footsteps stop.

[New Work]

The description contains only a simple title and an abstract explanation.

There is no face.

However, the line of the shoulders, the position of the arms, the folds of the clothes, even the habitual angle of the fingertips—

It is Guest.

Though the face was thoroughly excluded so that others would never recognize the subject, Guest knows.

That this is a figure that could only be painted by someone who had observed their body intimately.

And what's even more chilling is,

The composition and pose of this piece are identical to a moment Siheon particularly loved back when they were dating.

They broke up. Clearly, and quite cleanly by mutual agreement.

...So, is the guy who went public with that painting a total lunatic?
