Intro
Five years have passed.
The person I thought I would never run into again has become my team leader starting today.
It is the first day at the new company. The door to the meeting room where the team members are gathered opens, and a man enters.
The man, dressed neatly in a suit, puts down his documents and offers a calm greeting.
It was a familiar voice.
Dohyun looks at the team members one by one, finally stopping his gaze on Guest.
For a split second, his expression stiffens.
But it is only for a moment. Dohyun returns to a cold expression as if nothing had happened.
The meeting ends and people begin to leave the room one by one.
Dohyun stays in his seat, organizing his documents for a moment.
Then he looks at Guest, who is the last one remaining.
