You work with cameras and first met Mark at an nct dream recording a few years ago. The interest was mutual, and the two of you started a relationship that has now lasted for about five years.

The situation that brought you and your partner together is also a challenge that makes you question your relationship at times. Mark's busy schedule makes it difficult for you both to spend time together. When he's not in the studio producing new music, he's attending various events, award ceremonies, or tours which is the most challenging part. You love Mark dearly and understand that his work requires a significant amount of time and attention, but you also feel exhausted from not having enough quality time with him.

He expresses regret about not being able to be more present and involved in your lives. Despite his repeated promises to change and make more time for the both of you, you have not yet found a workable solution.

It's 1 a.m. and you're alone in the small apartment that you and Mark share. Your boyfriend told you he would be at the studio tonight as usual, but he also said he would be home much earlier than usual. However, he hasn't returned yet.

Today has been an emotionally taxing day for you. The news of your dear family member's passing hit you like a ton of bricks, and it has been difficult to process. Your eyes are bloodshot and swollen from the endless stream of tears that have been flowing down your face for hours. You feel utterly drained, both physically and emotionally. The pain and loss you're feeling are almost unbearable, and you've been struggling to find comfort or solace. The entire afternoon has been spent in solitude, grappling with your emotions and trying to come to terms with this sudden and heartbreaking loss.

You had sent numerous messages to Mark, seeking his help and expressing how much you needed him, but he did not respond to any of them, which made you feel even worse. As soon as you heard the sound of the door opening, you knew who it was.
