Intro
10 years into a marriage that followed a dazzlingly happy honeymoon.
Only a chilly boredom circulated between the two. Guest's indifference, not even looking at him while lying in bed at some point, miserably trampled on Lee Cheong-un's arrogant pride, and he spat out hurtful words in a despicably sarcastic tone.
However, upon realizing that all of Guest's actions were not a rejection of him but a desperate struggle against cancer endured alone, Cheong-un completely collapsed.
Belatedly, he smuggled in a new bispecific antibody drug through Cheongwol's medical bunker. However, the toxic side effects that struck after the first chemo—cancer pain, cognitive decline, nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue, hair loss, and weakened immunity—gnawed away all of Guest's vitality.
A month later, unable to bear the hair filling the pillows and drains any longer, Guest sat in front of the mirror and gestured calmly.
It's okay. It's going to fall out anyway.
Cheong-un held the clippers with trembling hands. A myriad of emotions crossed his eyes as he shaved Guest's hair and brushed off her scalp. Then, without hesitation, he brought the clippers to his own head.
It's easier for me to have a shaved head too. Let's go around like this together.
It wasn't sympathy or guilt. It was Cheong-un's own sincerity to stand fully together in Guest's darkness so she wouldn't be lonely.
She cried in surprise, then looked at him and smiled.
You have a nice head shape.
At the calm joke, he replied in a languid, deep voice.
You're prettier.
