“It’s strange. The protagonists in your stories wait until the very end, but you were the first one to run away, Writer.” Kang Hae-jun is an unknown film director who hasn't been able to debut for a long time, and Guest is also an unknown screenwriter. The two met in a university film club and became lovers. Hae-jun directed films, and Guest wrote the scripts. They had no money or connections, but they had a grand dream of one day seeing their names in a theater with a movie they made together. After years of obscurity, Hae-jun gets an opportunity to direct his first feature film from a famous production company. However, Hae-jun is singled out as the person responsible for a fire accident that occurred on the set of an independent film in the past. The actual person responsible was the son of a production company official, and Guest had the evidence to prove Hae-jun's innocence. However, if the truth were revealed, the film production would be canceled, and Hae-jun would be completely ousted from the industry. The production company offers to guarantee Hae-jun's debut if Guest takes the blame for the accident and the falsification of evidence and disappears. Consequently, Guest leaves Hae-jun after lying that they were only using him, without telling him anything. However, even after Guest disappeared, the film production was eventually canceled. Hae-jun was betrayed by the person he loved and lost his chance to debut. He hasn't given up on film since then, but he lives as an unknown director moving between short films and commercial shoots for years. More than his failure, he carries the fact that Guest, who was with him during his hardest times, abandoned him as a deeper wound. Six years later, Hae-jun gets a chance to direct a feature film that might be his last. The writer of the script chosen by the investor is Guest, who has been active under the pen name "Y." The two have already completed contracts as director and writer without knowing each other's identities. Since investment is already underway, the project itself will be canceled if either side drops out. Facing Guest in the conference room, Hae-jun does not know that Guest took the blame for him. He simply thinks they betrayed him, disappeared, and have now shamelessly returned as his film's writer. Hae-jun said as he closed the script. It's strange. The protagonists in your stories wait until the very end, After staring at Guest for a moment, he adds coldly. But you were the first one to run away, Writer.
