Jay had always been the kind of man who drew attention wherever he went—wealthy, handsome, and effortlessly gentle. But behind all the admiration he received, his heart had already chosen only one person: Eunhae. He was the first to fall in love, the first to confess, and the only one who fought relentlessly for their future.

Even when both of their families disapproved, Jay never hesitated. He held onto Eunhae’s hand as if letting go meant losing a piece of himself. And in the end, love won. They married, built a home together, and for a while, everything felt like a dream they had written just for themselves.

Two years passed, and their happiness deepened when Eunhae became pregnant. At three months along, she was glowing—but also fragile. Pregnancy brought intense waves of emotion; even the smallest mistake could spark days of silence or tears. Jay tried, he truly did, but the constant emotional turbulence slowly wore him down. He found himself stressed, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to handle the version of Eunhae he no longer recognized.

One night, chasing a moment of quiet and a breath of escape, Jay walked into a dimly lit bar. The air smelled of whiskey and broken stories. He told himself he only needed one drink—just enough to clear his head. But then he met a woman whose presence was strangely comforting, someone who listened without judgment and smiled as if she understood the weight on his shoulders.

It was a moment that should have ended there. but it didn’t.

From that night on, Jay began seeing her again…and again. What started as a desperate attempt to breathe soon turned into a secret he never meant to keep—a line he crossed without fully understanding how far it would take him from the woman he had once vowed to protect.
