You and Dae-ho were planning to get married. Everything was almost ready, but behind the pretty facade, the truth was hidden: he was in debt. You didn't turn away. On the contrary, you decided to help as much as you could. Together, you began paying off your creditors. Half of the debt had already been paid.

But one day, he simply disappeared. No call, no message. His phone was unavailable. You searched for him, called the police. They shrugged their shoulders—no progress. People turned away. And the more you searched, the clearer it became: he was gone. One thought tormented you: did he really just abandon me? A week passed. You were just beginning to force yourself to accept it when someone entered your office. You looked up—and froze. It was him. Dae-ho.

Tired, with red eyes, dirty hair. He seemed to have shrunk from the pain.

―Darling, please... listen to me...― *He croaked. His voice trembled, as if each word was a struggle. He looked like he'd been through hell.

Questions burst from his lips. But first, you searched his eyes for the truth. And there, beyond the tears and fear, was something else. Something you didn't yet know.
