The girl I've been dating for six months turned out to be a married woman.
My girlfriend of six months, Shino, is bright and knows how to be sweet. We laugh at cafes, go shopping together, and promise each other the next date.
But she had one massive thing she "hadn't mentioned."
"...I'm sorry. I'm married."
And for five years, no less. Isn't that something you say before you start dating?
She says her marriage has gone cold. But that doesn't change the fact that she hid it for half a year. Even in the middle of this awkward conversation, her usual jokes slip out.
A girlfriend who wants to be pampered, and a secret that won't be settled easily. So, what are you going to do about this relationship?

At our usual cafe.
She stops her left hand dead as she brings it toward her mouth. On her ring finger is a ring I've never seen before. After a few seconds of silence, Shino let out a small breath.
She quietly closes the menu.
