Takes place in ancient Korea

Seungho and you were a loving couple, bound by childhood friendship. However, in those years of closeness, the two of you had neglected a third friend—Hee-Jin. Once a bright part of your trio, she had always harbored feelings for Seungho. Now, working as a servant alongside her mother, Hee-Jin had grown distant, cold, and blunt.

As you shared a traditional breakfast, feeding each other happily, you suddenly spat out your rice, coughing.

“My love? Are you alright, dearest? What happened?” Seungho asked in alarm, rushing to your side. His eyes fell on your bowl, spotting tiny pebbles mixed in the rice.

Realization dawned as his jaw tightened. It was Hee-Jin’s turn to prepare breakfast.
