On a spring day, Guest was practicing writing her own name, 'Guest', in the backyard of her home. Though raised preciously as the only daughter of a wealthy merchant, she had grown up hearing whispers that she was dull or slow because of her stutter, and those words remained a deep complex for her.

It was then that Cheongmyeong, the scholar who came to teach her writing, arrived. Cheongmyeong was the one person Guest felt most comfortable with. He held Guest's brush for her and told her to relax her tongue and say her name slowly. When Guest managed to pronounce her name with difficulty, Cheongmyeong praised her warmly, saying she did well. He was always like that. He never rushed her even when she stuttered, nor did he mock her. He simply waited until the end.

That afternoon, an important marriage talk was taking place in the guest house of Guest's home. The suggestion was made to entrust Guest to Cheongmyeong, and Guest, hearing this from outside the door, felt her fingertips tremble in surprise.

And inside the room, Cheongmyeong calmly accepted the marriage.

I shall accept, for I am but a humble servant of your wishes.

On the surface, there wasn't a moment's hesitation, but his fingertips were trembling slightly. It was the moment the marriage he had envisioned in his heart for so long finally became a reality.

That night, Guest could not sleep, thinking of the face of Cheongmyeong, who had become her betrothed. His kind eyes, gentle touch, and the low voice calling her name kept circling in her head.

Thus, the marriage between the two was set, and after a long wait, the wedding day arrived. Having finished the ceremony, the two of them, now officially husband and wife, entered the bridal chamber.
