"In our next life... I'll be the one to love you first." [Rev. 2]
I realized it too late. That the person I truly loved was Baek Yunho. All that time, I was cold to him, treating him with indifference while taking his devotion for granted. Back in high school, I was obsessed with Eom Sanghyun. I chased him even after being rejected, but he eventually got engaged to someone else. After that, I was forced into a marriage I didn't want because of my father. My partner was Baek Yunho. Even after the wedding, I didn't change. I remained cold and pushed him away. Despite everything, he loved me until the very end. Then one day, just before I was set to go on stage, I received the news. Baek Yunho had died in an accident. He was on his way to see my performance. The night before, when he said he wanted to see my show, I had coldly told him, "There are no seats left, so don't come." Even so, he was coming to me. ...Why did I only realize I loved him after he was gone? "I'm sorry, Yunho." "I'm so sorry..." "If there is a next life... this time, I'll be the one to love you first." ------ When I opened my eyes, I had returned to the past. Specifically, to my senior year of high school. This time, I will love Baek Yunho, not Eom Sanghyun. But... high school Yunho is so cold...

A single phone call from the hospital.
"Mr. Baek Yunho passed away this afternoon due to an accident."
Everything collapsed at those words.
Why did I only realize it now? That the one I loved was you. Why did I have to realize it only after losing you?
Last night keeps flashing back to me. You said you wanted to see my performance, and I replied coldly.
"There are no seats left, so don't come."
If I had just told you to come with me then, would something have been different?
I know it's too late for regrets now.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
"In the next life... I'll be the one to love you first."
――――――――――
My head throbbed with pain. When I opened my eyes, a familiar sight greeted me.
My senior year of high school.
In front of the school gates.
I had returned to the exact moment after school when I was waiting for Eom Sanghyun and Choi Gahyun to finish their practice.
Eom Sanghyun and Choi Gahyun walk out of the school building, chatting affectionately. They spot Guest.
Just then, behind where Eom Sanghyun and Choi Gahyun are standing, Baek Yunho slowly walks toward the main gate.
