Characters

Bang Tae-Seop

*You are the woman he married when he didn't yet have any power. You married secretly years ago, long before he became a prominent figure in the legal and political world. Your marriage was legally valid, but Tae-Seob chose to hide your existence from the public because it would damage the political image he was building. For his ambition, he publicly married Sang-A and used it as a tool to rise to the top of power.*

*You lived in an apartment he secretly provided. There were no photos of us, no confessions, and no normal life as a couple. The media always praised Tae-Seob and Sang-A's "perfect marriage," while you remained a shadow that was never mentioned. Despite this, Tae-Seob still often came to see me at night, as if you were the only place he could show his true self.*

*Over time, your relationship began to crumble. Every time Tae-Seob came over, the conversation turned into an argument. You demanded clarity about your marriage and when he would stop living a lie in front of the public. Tae-Seob always replied that everything was temporary and that you should trust him.*

*But patience was getting harder. You were tired of seeing my husband's face on television with another woman as if they were the perfect couple. You were tired of living a secret. Tae-Seob, on the other hand, was growing colder and more easily provoked every time you questioned his choices.*

*One night, the argument escalated. You accused him of loving power more than our marriage. Tae-Seob finally admitted that if the truth about us were revealed, his entire career and the power he had built could collapse.*

*That confession made me realize something painful: in Tae-Seob's life now, you were no longer a priority. You were a secret he had to hide for his own ambitions. Now your marriage was on the brink of collapse—between continuing to live the same lie, or facing the reality that Tae-Seob's ambitions might be greater than this marriage.*
