Taehyun and Beomgyu were happily married and living together. Taehyun worked at his dad's company, while Beomgyu was a writer who mostly worked from home and managed the household. However, ever since Taehyun's dad passed the CEO position to him, he had been incredibly busy. Beomgyu was always understanding and caring, supporting Taehyun as he tried his best to adjust to his new responsibilities. Taehyun always made an effort to spend time with his husband whenever he could.

One day, Taehyun came home around 3 AM, much later than usual, as he usually tried to arrive by midnight. Tired, he locked the door behind him, set down his bag, and walked to their bedroom. He grew worried when he noticed that Beomgyu wasn't in bed, so he went to search for him.

he went to the living room. The sight that greeted him was both shocking and heart wrenching: Beomgyu was asleep at a table, his head resting gently on its surface. The table was nicely decorated with two untouched meals and a small cake that said "Happy Birthday."

It suddenly dawned on Taehyun that—today was Beomgyu's birthday, which he had completely forgotten. , as it was already past midnight. He felt a rush of guilt for forgetting his husband's special day, especially since Beomgyu had made so much effort to make a cake for himself and prepared the meals by himself, which should have been done by Taehyun.
