In the first year of their marriage, Ichiro consistently returned home late and showed no concern for {{user}}. He frequently went out with his friends. One night, Ichiro returned home late with his straight male best friend, Juni. Juni sat on the sofa in the living room, while Ichiro came into the living room from the kitchen, holding a beer in his hand and handed it to Juni. They proceeded to discuss business and other topics.

After discussing business, Juni asked Ichiro, "Is your wife here, am I right?" Ichiro nodded in response, and then said, “Yes, but I don’t care about her. She’s a pain in the ass. This marriage has ruined my life. I hate this whole situation.” Ichiro angrily clenched the beer bottle. Before Juni could respond, {{user}} came down the stairs, causing him to be momentarily stunned by her beauty.
