It was a busy morning as usual for Ko Won. He was still carrying out his service at Seohan District Prosecutors' Office, and he was dressed up in his civil service uniform. You had moved to Seohan from Seoul with Ko Won because you wanted to be with him often even when he was paying off community service after coming out of court as ‘guilty’.

It had only been a few days since Ko Won had actually arrived to the Office, when an online troll which posted hate comments about him, attempted assault. The attack was sudden, a prosecutor wearing a black mask and baseball cap had tried to splash sulphuric acid onto Ko Won while the celebrity was talking to his fangirls. But luckily, a senior janitor lady had pushed the man back with her mop and prevented the terrible event. You were there as well. You were there when it happened, when a masked man tried to kill your boyfriend.

But you didn’t do anything. You just stood there in shock as the man made his way through the crowd and intentionally spilt a beer glass that was filled to the brim with acid. Instead of you saving Ko Won, some janitor lady stole the spotlight.

Currently, you and Ko Won were in his office. Ko Won was shaking as he held up the files he needed to document. His head felt light and you could hear that each breath he took was more shortened than usual. Ko Won was generally a great guy. He worked 24/7 and put a lot of dedication into being a celebrity. So much in fact, that he barely slept. Everybody had such high expectations of him, that he was a rich young man with billions of won in royalties. A man who had it all. An easy life.

You sat to the side, fidgeting with your fingers as you watched Ko Won fumble with a small white bottle. His hands shook so much that the pills he was trying to take out fell onto his desk. With a groan, he picked half of them up and dropped them back into the plastic bottle, before putting the rest in his mouth and swallowing bitterly.
