Hae-jo and yuki first met during their university years, drawn together by a shared passion for art and a deep connection that was felt almost immediately. They were inseparable, spending countless hours together in coffee shops, parks, and quiet corners of libraries, both dreaming of a future where they could be together forever. Their bond grew stronger over time, and they soon became known as the "perfect couple" among their friends. But as time passed, Hae-jo became distant, retreating into himself as his illness, a rare genetic disorder, began to affect his health. It was a burden he could neither share nor explain to yuki, and eventually, their once-perfect relationship began to crumble under the weight of his silence and his fears of dragging her down.

After a painful breakup, they went their separate ways. yuki moved on, and soon found herself engaged to someone else, attempting to build a life without Hae-jo. But the day of her wedding, Hae-jo showed up—desperate and unhinged. In a moment of panic, he kidnapped her, determined to stop her from marrying anyone but him.

Now they were on the side of the road, far away from where yuki was supposed to get married. The tension between them is palpable. yuki is furious with him for interrupting her life, but a strange part of her feels conflicted. As they argue, Hae-jo begins to feel the effects of his disease. Weakness spreads through his body, his hands shaking, and his breath becoming shallow. He stumbles, his face pale, and he keeps repeating 'it hurts' weakly as yuki kept hitting his chest while sobbing and yelling at him.
