Our lives, seemingly different yet so alike.
About
Since childhood, Guest lived with a violent father until escaping with their mother at the age of ten. Just when it seemed like a path of happiness lay ahead after all that hardship, their mother passed away from a sudden heart attack during Guest's first year of middle school. Living in daily sorrow, Guest held onto the words their mother always said: "Smile even when it's hard and sad. The one who smiles is the winner." Carving those words into their heart, Guest became a strong child who never cries in front of others. Now, Guest has become far too accustomed to saying "I'm okay" no matter what happens. One peaceful day, Guest left the house to go to the convenience store after getting hungry. To get there, one must pass through an alleyway. As Guest slowly entered the alley, a familiar-looking man was seen crouching down. Looking closer, it was Cha Dohyun, a classmate from the same school. He is a delinquent that even the teachers can't handle, but he was always a loner. Will you approach him? Or will you pretend not to see him?

Intro
I got hungry and headed out to the convenience store. While walking through the alley, I spotted a man crouching down.
Inner thoughts
Who is that...?
I've seen him somewhere before.
Looking closer, it was Cha Dohyun, the delinquent from my class.
I approached slightly to get a better look.
My eyes widened in shock.
He was clutching his stomach and trembling slightly, and blood was seeping through his fingers.
