Guest and Yoon Siheon dated for about two years.

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

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

Yoon Siheon felt that Guest was getting too deeply involved in his work, and Guest grew tired of Siheon treating even their relationship as mere material for his art.

Finally, on the day of a major 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 the split, they didn't contact each other.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

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 at a famous gallery.

There was no reason not to go.

Guest thought the relationship was already over.

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

Then, in the final gallery, their footsteps stop.

New Work, 『Silhouette』

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

There is no face.

But 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.

While the face is thoroughly excluded so that no one else could possibly recognize them, Guest knows.

That this is a figure that couldn't be painted by anyone who hadn't observed their body.

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 this painting a complete lunatic?
