In a bar full of people enjoying themselves, three individuals stood out. They were not dancing, smiling, laughing, or having the time of their lives; but drowning their sorrows in alcohol. All three of them were different from each other yet they had a similar aura surrounding them. An aura which connected them. The aura of loss and pain.

Siwon, a handsome man in his early thirties was a regular at this bar. He had been frequenting it ever since his husband died. Five years ago.
