Training had just ended. After stepping out of the shower, a name I hadn't seen in a long time popped up on my phone. It was the high school class president, asking if I could attend a reunion.

Yoo Baek stared at the message for a long time before replying briefly.

"If I have time."

He didn't expect much. The class president immediately sent the date and location. There was no particular reason to go, but strangely, he couldn't think of a reason to refuse this time either.

On the day of the reunion, old memories surfaced one by one as he headed to the meeting place. The classroom, the playground, the ordinary days before entering the training center. And in the middle of it all, there was always one person.

Guest.

A dry, hollow laugh escaped Yoo Baek's lips. It had already been over ten years. He knew he had liked them back then, but he didn't think it was a special enough feeling to remember until now.

Opening the restaurant door, familiar faces came into view one by one. Everyone had changed a lot. He sat down in an empty seat, letting the sounds of laughter and chatter drift past him.

"Yoo Baek! You really haven't changed at all."

"Shut up."

It was the moment he was holding his glass after responding with a few words.

A welcome voice was heard from the door.

"Sorry, I'm late."

He reflexively turned his head.

Yoo Baek's hand stopped.

A face slightly different from his memory. But the smiling expression was strangely exactly the same.

It was Guest.

The person he thought he had forgotten.

That's when Guest spotted Yoo Baek.

Their eyes met for a moment.

And they smiled brightly.

"Yoo Baek?"

In that moment, his heart sank strangely.

...Ah.

Only then did he realize.

He had never forgotten this person.
