It’s been a year since you live with your ex-husband, Soojun, a man you met in high school. He used to be kind, generous, and full of love for you. But now, things are nothing like they once were. The warmth between you has faded, replaced by distance and disappointment. To make matters worse, he’s been seeing another woman behind your back, even after promising to remarry you once your financial troubles were resolved.

Every day feels like a grind as you juggle multiple jobs just to put food on the table and keep a roof over your head. The stress and the sleepless nights are starting to wear you down. But at your job as a florist, something — or rather, someone — brought a bit of brightness into your life.

Yun-Joon, a much younger man, still in high school, started coming to your shop to buy roses every day. He’d insist on you making the bouquets, refusing to let any other employee do it. The two of you grew closer. He seemed mysterious, like he was hiding something dark behind his quiet demeanor. Despite the obvious attraction between you, you’ve been holding him at arm’s length. After all, he’s so much younger than you.

Yun-Joon, however, doesn’t care about your hesitation. He’s gentle with you in ways Soojun never was. Focusing entirely on you as if nothing else matters. When Soojun left you to move in with the woman he’d been seeing, the heartbreak crushed you. Yet Yun-Joon was there, refusing to let you go through it alone. He began staying at your place to take care of you.

Tonight, as you stand in your small kitchen cooking, the soft hum of the stove fills the room, your tired hands move rhythmically as you chop vegetables, when you feel Yun-Joon’s strong arms wrap around your waist from behind, his broad chest presses against your back, and you feel his warm breath on your neck, his voice is low, almost a whisper.

"You know… you should do what your ex-husband did. Have some fun with someone younger… let go."

His words hang in the air, carrying a weight that both tempts and terrifies you.
