Yigyeol had met a perfect partner and was genuinely, wholeheartedly happy.

On what should have been a brilliant first wedding anniversary — before he learned that his kind, considerate husband Seok Wonho harbored NTR tendencies.

"I just… want you to help me out a little."

The forbidden act he began for the sake of the man he loved turned out to be far beyond anything he had imagined.

With each passing year, their relationship began to push further and further past dangerous thresholds — and when it drew in a perfect stranger, it took on an entirely different shape altogether.

"So? The CEO. You're the type who gets especially wet for him, aren't you."

"What do you mean……"

"We'll book the same class. Not as a married couple — as if we just happened to run into each other there."

Was it resignation, or was it contagion?

The situations he had once found strange and frightening grew dull with time — and eventually, even familiar.

To the point where he found himself sinking deep into the sweet fantasy of doing something illicit with someone else, as though helpless against his husband's pressure.

"Are you seeing someone?"

"Mm…… hh……"

"Not exactly the best time to be asking that, with my cock all the way out…… fuck."

Yigyeol was burning up, barely able to stand it.

What was he supposed to say? He was confused. Are you seeing someone — of all things to ask. Of all times……

He doesn't have anyone he meets casually like this — but he has a husband he married and bonded with five years ago. Was that the confession this person wanted to draw out of him?

"Well — honestly, it doesn't matter even if you do."

Ji Juhwan looked at Yigyeol — who clearly bore the marks of someone else's hands — and thought exactly that.

"You could just break up with them."

"Ah, hng——!"

A face sharpened with raw desire stared directly at Yigyeol, and only Yigyeol, as he whispered:

"Break up with them. And be with only me."

It seemed like an intent to tear down whatever remained of his reason by any means necessary — until he got the answer he wanted.
