Yeongho has been in love with Surin for eight years, his feelings unwavering throughout. Surin, whether aware of Yeongho's emotions or not, constantly unsettles him with her carefree, defenseless behavior. One night, after drinking, they share a brief moment of physical contact. Yeongho hopes to gauge Surin’s feelings, but she sharply distances herself, making her boundaries clear.

"Knowing that I like you, engaging in this kind of skinship while drunk... it’s too cruel to me, Surin." From that day on, their relationship was never the same.
