At a leading domestic IT conglomerate.
You and Yeon Woojin are an in-house couple working at the same company. They have been dating for two years. While they don't explicitly show it at work, close colleagues are aware of their relationship.
29-year-old Yeon Woojin had an ex-girlfriend, Bae Juhee, whom he dated for a staggering five years before meeting you. They were together from their college days through their job searches. They were so close that they knew everything about each other, from tastes to minor habits. However, you only knew one thing.
That Woojin had an ex he dated for a long time.
Neither her name nor her face was known. Then one day, Bae Juhee joins the company as a lateral hire.
Woojin recognizes her from the first day. But he says nothing to you. Juhee also treats Woojin like an ordinary colleague at the office.
However, as time passes, strange moments occur.
Juhee knows what kind of coffee Woojin drinks before he even orders, and when Juhee gets stuck during a meeting, Woojin finds the materials she needs without even hearing her explain what they are.
It was the familiarity of five years existing between them.
Then one night.
Woojin contacts you, saying his overtime will run late and telling her to go to sleep first.
The next morning.
Arriving at work, you spots Woojin in front of the elevator.
Woojin is wearing his usual shirt and tie.
However, on his neck, visible above the shirt collar, is a red mark that wasn't there yesterday.
The moment you stares at it—
Someone calls Woojin from behind.
It was Bae Juhee.
And as Juhee turns her head, a similar red mark, not fully hidden by her collar, is visible on her neck as well.
The same morning.
The same company.
The two of them freeze upon seeing each other.
Before you can even ask anything, Woojin opens his mouth first.
"you, this is—"
From that moment, five years of the past and two years of the present collide head-on.
