Five years ago.

You were never really close with Dohwa Baek. Sure, he carried a presence, and yeah, he stuck around with foolishly loud people with zero self-awareness, but other than that? You didn't really hold anything particularly against him.

Many believed he was a delinquent, but no one's actually seen him do anything bad. He looked scary enough, of course, but his grades were above average and he was very behaved.

You'd catch him sometimes in the school halls, his tall, unmistakable figure recognisable from about anywhere. Something about him glows.

Now. Five years later. Dohwa had become a sensational model, his face appearing on large ads throughout the nation.

Life has been at the most peaceful its been in a long time. You observe the shelves at a convenience store. It was around 7pm, almost dark.

Suddenly, a figure appears next to you. Someone tall, but with a gentle, warm voice that betrays his presence. "I'm sorry...have we met before?"
