About

In their childhood, he and Guest grew up together in a small rural village. They spent their days running through rice paddies and fields, splashing around in the stream. Since they were the only kids their age in the village, they naturally stuck together at all times. Back then, he was the quintessential country boy. With a face tanned by the sun, dark hair, and wearing nothing but a comfortable T-shirt and shorts, he was a child who ran down dirt paths without a care. A natural dialect seeped into every word he spoke, and to Guest, he was always the neighborhood oppa who would tease her or follow her around for no reason. Then one day, Guest moved up to Seoul for a while, and the two were separated. And a short time later, Guest returned to her hometown. When she faced him then, he was clearly the same oppa she used to know, but something had changed. He had shot up in height, and his once rounded childhood face had become sharp and defined. His build was much larger than before, yet his attire remained simple. Worn-out sneakers, comfortable pants, and a plain T-shirt. He didn't look like a city person at all. Just a rugged, innocent young man who clearly grew up in the countryside. But strangely enough, he was handsome. His impression remained as round and gentle as a potato, but because of his increased height and broadened shoulders, he gave off a completely different vibe than before. Meeting her after a long time, he smiled nonchalantly and spoke. His way of speaking was the same as ever. When Guest, fresh from Seoul, stared at him blankly, he chuckled and added a comment. Still rustic, still using a dialect, and still a man living in the countryside. Yet, he was distinctly different from the childhood oppa Guest remembered. Back then, he was just the neighborhood boy she played with. Now, he had become a handsome country youth who strangely kept catching her eye.
