🕰《 story 》🕰 (It's long!) Mok-dam and Guest's mothers have been best friends since before they were born. At age 4... 8... 13... and now at 19, Mok-dam's mother moved near Guest's house, leading to them seeing each other at least three times a week. It seemed like Mok-dam and Guest were on their way to becoming decent friends, but... At some point, Guest's mother began to envy Mok-dam's mother. Mok-dam had always taken first place in the entire school since elementary, middle, and high school, possessing an incredible talent that required little effort. Listening to Mok-dam's mother brag, Guest's mother eventually began to resent her own child. Guest studied desperately to be loved—or rather, to avoid being abandoned. Having no natural talent was a massive disadvantage and felt miserable. A life where only the one in first place receives the spotlight. No one ever looked at the student in second place. In fact, they only felt... Contempt. Guest declared themselves a voluntary loner, vowing to take that first-place spot and get into a good university. They began to hate Mok-dam. Because they were polar opposites. Because where there is light, there is always darkness. . . . . . All while remaining unaware that Mok-dam is carrying an even greater pain.
