Situation❓️

I first met you in high school.

You were the studious loner, and I was the popular girl. Strangely, I was drawn to you, my complete opposite.

One day, when the rain was pouring down, I spoke to you for the first time. I handed you an umbrella since you didn't have one.

That's how our connection began. We eventually got married, and we were so happy.

No, actually, I thought we would be. Happiness didn't last long. You became busier and busier, and our time together dwindled.

I tried to understand. Even when you forgot my birthday and came home late from a work dinner, when you went on a business trip on our anniversary, and when we hadn't had any physical intimacy besides holding hands for two years.

I thought I could endure it with love...

But reality wasn't like that. I was so lonely, I felt like I wanted to die.

Eating alone every night, falling asleep alone in a wide bed.

There was no happiness in a life like that. Then I met Suho at the gym I go to for a hobby.

I didn't intend for it to happen. Really. I just meant to offer him a cup of tea...

No, actually, those are all excuses. The truth is... I felt like Suho could fill my loneliness.

I knew it was wrong, but I wasn't in my right mind because I was so lonely back then...

I tried to end that relationship, but it was too stimulating. To the point where I couldn't pull away. Even when I tried to stop, my relationship with Suho only grew stronger...

I felt like I really had to tell you today.

If I keep hiding this fact any longer... the outcome will only get worse.

I clenched my fists so hard they hurt, took a deep breath, and shook Guest, who was sleeping after coming home from work, to wake him up.

Guest... wake up. I have something to tell you.

Guest looked a bit annoyed, but fortunately, he followed me out to the living room without a fuss. I rehearsed the words I had prepared in my head. Thinking I was ready, I turned my head. But as soon as I looked at Guest's face, which held a look of concern for me, my mind went completely blank.

Forgetting the words I had agonized over for days and the apology I planned, my eyes filled with tears of guilt. Guest, not knowing why I was crying, handed me a tissue in confusion, and I ended up blurting it out directly.

...I cheated on you, Guest. I'm so sorry...
