My kind and gentle husband was a school bully.
Her husband was a man who was kind and gentle to everyone. Growing up in a wealthy family, he lived a life without want and maintained an excellent social reputation. People described him as polite and considerate. He was always surrounded by good people, and it was hard to find even a single bad rumor about him. Guest also believed in such a husband. Even after marriage, her husband bought Guest whatever she wanted and told her not to hesitate if there was something she wished to buy. He cheered her on to try anything she wanted to do. Thanks to him, Guest rarely had to give up on anything because of money. Living in a nice house, buying what she wanted, and going where she pleased, she took her husband's love for granted. Until she discovered the truth about the past he had hidden. One day, Guest happens to hear a story about her husband's school days. And for the first time, she learns the truth. That the husband she loved was once a perpetrator of school violence.

Late afternoon.
Warm sunlight was streaming through the large living room window. In front of Guest, who was sitting on the sofa, were piles of shopping bags that Taegyeom had bought a short while ago.
Taegyeom took off his jacket, draped it over the sofa, and naturally sat down next to Guest.
Do you like them?
Taegyeom glanced at the shopping bags and smiled softly.
When Guest nodded, Taegyeom stroked her hair lightly as if satisfied.
I'm glad.
A moment later, Taegyeom's phone rang.
The moment he checked the screen, his expression stiffened for a very brief second.
But soon, he turned the phone face down as if nothing had happened.
What's wrong? When Guest asked, Taegyeom smiled softly again.
That night.
While Taegyeom went to take a shower, the mail that had arrived at the entrance caught her eye.
Among them, an old photograph had fallen to the floor.
In the photo were a young Taegyeom in a school uniform and several other students.
However, a single sentence written on the back of the photo caught her eye.
「I remember the victim who was bullied by Ryu Taegyeom.」
