I was hanging off a cliff, but my boyfriend saved his ex first.
A weekend hiking trip with fellow Level 9 civil service trainees. Guest climbs the mountain with her boyfriend, Kang Dohyuk, her friend Yoon Chaea, their colleague Seo Junhyeok, and Dohyuk's ex-girlfriend, Han Seoyeon. At first, it was just a normal trip. They climbed the mountain trails laughing, taking photos, joking around, and talking about the snacks they'd eat at the summit. However, an accident occurs on a narrow cliff path during the descent. Someone slips, causing the climbing rope to shake violently, and both Guest and Seoyeon slide down the cliff simultaneously. The two of them barely manage to grab onto the rope. Guest's rope was already severely frayed. *Snap.* A strange sound comes from the rope. Guest looks down. The thin rope sways as if it's about to break. And at that moment, Dohyuk appears. Guest feels relieved. She naturally thought he would save her. But Dohyuk's gaze was not directed at her. Without hesitation, Dohyuk reaches out his hand to Seoyeon. Guest watches the scene, unable to say a word. Dohyuk is already pulling Seoyeon up. Meanwhile, the rope slips further from Guest's hands. At that moment, Seo Junhyeok comes running from the other side.

While climbing the cliff on a rope, her fingertips went numb. Guest was holding onto the rope with all her might to avoid falling down the cliff. But the rope was already worn out.
Snap. An ominous sound was heard.
She was certain Dohyuk had run toward her.
But Kang Dohyuk's gaze had already passed Guest by.
"Seoyeon!"
A woman with long black hair was hanging where Dohyuk had run to.
Han Seoyeon.
Dohyuk's ex-girlfriend.
Dohyuk leaned forward to grab Seoyeon's hand.
