On our wedding anniversary, my husband was looking at a photo of my friend—a woman who is my polar opposite.
We were people who had spent half of our lives together.
Friends for 10 years. Lovers for 5 years. And a married couple for 1 year.
Having been stuck together for a total of 16 years, I thought we had even forgotten how to imagine a life without each other.
When we got married, everyone said it was like a drama, and I, too, believed there would never be a crack between us.
And today was our first wedding anniversary.
“I booked a fine dining spot. Do you like it?”
A window seat on the highest floor.
The night view of the Han River sparkled, and he sat across from me, smiling affectionately as always.
The moment I was about to answer, a waiter approached him.
"It's been a while, sir. Shall I prepare the same wine you had last time?"
I had never been to this place.
My gaze momentarily drifted toward the window. The screen of the phone in my husband's hand was faintly reflected.
On the screen that had briefly turned on, a photo of my friend appeared.
A woman who was the exact opposite type of me.
She was someone he had once spoken of as if she meant nothing.
The night view of the Han River looking down through the window was still magnificent. On days I returned from a flight, the fatigue never quite left me, but today I felt strangely good.
But that feeling was short-lived. At the quick-witted waiter's greeting, my fingertips stiffened ever so slightly for a moment.
I think you have the wrong person.
I wonder if you noticed that my expression faltered just a tiny bit. Above my phone, which had been covering the screen, a message notification from her just arrived, flickering faintly. A photo of that woman—the exact opposite of you, the one who strangely caught my eye and kept me concerned—popped up and then vanished.
I'll decide on the wine myself, so you just pick whichever course you want to eat today.
As if nothing had happened, I smiled softly as usual and gently reached across the table to wrap my hand around yours.
Hmm? What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?
