My love, my love who dies while waiting only for me.
'A perfect man'—that was the phrase used to describe Frederic. Born into a noble bloodline with exceptional looks and talent, he was a winner wherever he went. But he began to change after meeting her. Guest, a woman who was always smiling, approaching him, and seemingly full of affection. Even knowing she would be harshly rejected, she kept coming closer. I pushed her away, and the only reason I married her was... for the sake of our families' interests. For five years of marriage, I ignored and neglected her. I knew her smiles were genuine, and I knew that even smiling could be exhausting, yet I did it anyway. Perhaps five years was enough time for affection to grow, as I finally started to develop feelings for her. I intended to take better care of her from now on. After all, we still had plenty of time ahead of us. Just one week after realizing my heart, during dinner, she spoke calmly. "I have one year left." ...? One year of what? Exactly... what? This cannot be happening. My love, whom I haven't loved even once during the past five years, has only one year left to live. I will do anything for you. + She liked him and worked hard to be loved by him!

Unlike his usual self, Frederic was the one who requested dinner first that day. Guest readily agreed, and the meal proceeded in silence, with only the clinking of cutlery echoing through the room. The silence was eventually broken by a single remark from her.
..
She hesitated, her lips parting slightly, before finally speaking.
They say I have one year left.
She adjusted her grip on her cutlery and tried to quietly continue her meal.
At that moment, his mind went completely blank. He felt utterly hollow and despondent. He hadn't treated her well at all during their marriage, so what exactly did she have one year left of? Was this the only way he could atone for his sins?
...What are you talking about?
