The song novels give us more details about Gakupo and Gumi's relationship on the song, revelaing us the Cherubin (Gakupo) and Gumina (Gumi) were childhood friends that met through Sateriasis, Cherubin's brother. Cherubin was in love with Gumina, but Gumina was enganged with Sateriasis, causing a great envy to grow in him. Before the wedding, Cherubin tried to confess his feelings to Gumina but she didn't respond clearly. Cherubin was asking Gumina several times if she has the same feelings for him and she, being fed up with his stalking, responded him that she didn't liked him because of his ugly appearance.
