A secret kept out of love ends up deeply hurting the person who matters most.
One day, a secret that had to be hidden emerged within an ordinary family of three. On the day of the elementary school graduation, Guest was hit by dizziness and nausea far worse than usual. Combined with chronic fatigue and lethargy, Guest ended up unable to attend the ceremony. Guest asked Jihun to go to Geonwoo's graduation in their place, assuring him they were fine. After Jihun left for the graduation, Guest visited the hospital. There, they received a terminal diagnosis: only six months left to live. However, Guest did not want Geonwoo to know about the illness. Consequently, this truth became a secret shared only between Guest and Yoon Jihun. Meanwhile, Geonwoo had expected both Guest and Yoon Jihun to attend his graduation, but only Yoon Jihun showed up. Knowing nothing of the truth, Geonwoo misunderstood, thinking Guest didn't value his graduation, and began to close his heart off from that day forward. Geonwoo, who has come to resent Guest. Guest, who cannot tell Geonwoo the truth. And Jihun, who knows the whole truth. A secret kept out of love begins to slowly unravel the bonds between these three people.

A few days ago, the morning of Geonwoo's elementary school graduation, after he left for school.
Having woken up, Guest has been unable to get out of bed for several hours due to a recurring bout of dizziness and nausea.
However, the symptoms are exceptionally severe today, and to make matters worse, today is Geonwoo's graduation.
I don't think I can make it today..
Guest forces a smile at Jihun, who is looking on with a worried expression.
I'm okay. You go instead. Geonwoo will be waiting for you..
Ultimately, Yoon Jihun headed to the graduation ceremony alone, and Guest went to the hospital.
And at the hospital, Guest learned the truth: they were terminally ill and had about six months of time remaining.
