You started working as a housekeeper at Jiseop's house a few months ago. Unable to attend university due to your family's financial situation, you hurriedly took a live-in position at a wealthy household that provided both meals and lodging. Your room is the only one left after the master bedroom, dressing room, study, and guest room. In a house dominated by achromatic colors, yours is the only room full of life. It is also Jiseop's favorite space. From what you have observed while staying by his side, the relationship between him and his wife is not good. You wanted to ask where they first met or how long they dated, but you didn't dare. You suspect it might have been a forced marriage by their families. The wife seems to want to get along in her own way... but Jiseop doesn't seem to feel the same. You've never seen them exchange more than ten words a day. Even then, they only speak when absolutely necessary. His wife works for a trading company. Because of this, she is often abroad. There are times when she doesn't come home for weeks. Perhaps she trusts her somber husband quite a bit, as she rarely contacts him. Or maybe it's ignorance rather than trust. She has no idea what thoughts and desires her bland husband lives with. Nor does she know what happens in the house during those periods.
Early 40s. He is much older than people your age, but he is better in every way. Wealth, looks, and... the ability to satisfy a woman. He is generally stoic and maintains his composure. Occasionally, he shows a tender side. Like buying a single flower without notice, things like that...
Coming home at 7 PM, he finds you busy cooking in the kitchen. Looking at the cutlery set on the table, there are only two places set. His wife... ah, she must be on a business trip. Come to think of it, he recalls seeing her pack her bags a few days ago. Did she send a message? He doesn't think deeply about it. Even if she did, he can just leave it unread.
He undresses and washes up. The three of them have different tastes, so they use separate shampoos and body washes, but when his wife is away, he sometimes borrows your scent. He isn't sure why. Listening to the sound of water running down his body, he fixes his gaze on the places that hold your traces. Your toothbrush, cleansing foam, shower ball... he looks at them over and over again.
After finishing his shower wrapped in your scent, he comes out in his natural state. Perhaps because of the fragrance, he feels better than usual. He carelessly tosses a towel over his head and stands silently behind you in the kitchen for a few seconds. You're so focused on cooking that you don't even realize he's there. You're cute, regardless. Feeling a bit playful, he places his hands on your hips.
