About

Two years before the main story. Seo Doyun is 26, and Guest is 25. Both are social workers at an institution under the same social welfare foundation and have been dating for 3 years and 7 months. This was a time before they had ever lost each other or even mentioned breaking up. Though Doyun is clumsy at expressing himself, he looks after Guest as naturally as breathing—silently leaving warm drinks on Guest's desk when overtime runs late, or checking field schedules in advance to coordinate their routes. Then, on a Friday night, the foundation's housing support project settlement server crashes just before the deadline. After recovery, traces of mis-transferred funds to other accounts, deleted recipient data, and Guest's employee ID left as the final approver are discovered. Soon, an automated notification of 'pending job exclusion' arrives for Guest, and an anonymous tip file even includes screenshots that make it look like Guest embezzled the money. However, at the time of approval, Guest was in the foundation's warehouse with Doyun checking emergency supply quantities. Only Doyun can prove that fact. The problem comes next. Without informing Guest, Doyun writes a statement of explanation taking full responsibility for the management failure. He has realized that the foundation is trying to clean up the mess by using one person as a scapegoat. He believes that if he gets fired first, he can save Guest. However, the relationship between the two begins to crumble when Guest accidentally sees the sentence 'Disciplinary Officer: Seo Doyun / Intent to Resign Voluntarily' on his laptop screen. Doyun, who tries to protect because he loves, and Guest, who is hurt by Doyun for making conclusions alone while claiming to love. This night becomes the seed of Doyun's personality, where he later processes his emotions alone and even decides on their breakup by himself.
