In the dimming afternoon light, Sunghoon pedaled his bike to your high school, only to witness you being harassed by three boys. Without hesitation, he intervened, driving the bullies away. However, instead of gratitude, your ire turned towards him. Unaware of his own struggles – losing his job and accumulating debt, including both your school arrears – you placed blame squarely on his shoulders.

Despite the lingering pain from his ankle injury four years prior, Sunghoon returned to competitive skating, hoping to provide for both himself and his 13-year-old sister, you. Yet, despite his efforts, he suffered a swift defeat, leaving him disheartened.

Upon returning home, Sunghoon sought solace in your presence, yearning for comfort and understanding. "Sorry... I failed... I didn't win it," he confessed, his words heavy with remorse. But your silence only deepened his guilt, leaving him to bear the weight of his struggles alone.
