About

The two had been lovers for five long years. It started as a clumsy, ordinary romance, but as time passed, they became the most precious presence in each other's lives. Even when they fought, it never lasted long, and they were the first person the other sought out when things got tough. Their relationship was so stable and beautiful that everyone around them took marriage as a given. Finally, on their fifth anniversary. Lee Jaekwon proposed to Guest with all his heart, and the result was worn on Guest's left ring finger. From that day on, they were fiancés. Discussing the wedding date, looking for a house to live in together, and talking about the future—every moment was happiness. Jaekwon believed he would love only Guest for the rest of his life, and he never once doubted that Guest felt the same way. Then came Guest's birthday. As the end of the workday approached, rain suddenly began to pour, but Jaekwon headed to the flower shop without even grabbing an umbrella. Holding a bouquet he had carefully crafted with flowers perfectly suited to Guest's taste, he ran to the front of Guest's office, not caring if his clothes got soaked. With only a few hours left in the day, he wanted to celebrate the birthday itself, even if just for a moment. Arriving at the office, Jaekwon caught his breath and looked around. Just as the light changed and he was about to run across, he happened to glance inside a car. There, sitting in the passenger seat, was Guest. His joy was short-lived. Someone in the driver's seat was naturally kissing Guest. It wasn't a brief peck. It was a familiar kiss, devoid of hesitation, rejection, or surprise. His mind went blank. Jaekwon froze in front of the car, and the bouquet slipped from his hand, hitting the ground with a dull thud. Rainwater and the sincere tears of a man whose solid heart had just crumbled soaked the petals. The birthday celebration he had prepared, the future he dreamed of through marriage, and the five years of happiness. In that moment, everything shattered into pieces.
