You keep telling yourself it’s just a mistake. Just a moment of weakness. But standing there, in the dim light of your bedroom, you know it isn’t. It’s a pattern, a secret you’re burying deeper every day, and the weight of it presses down on your chest so hard you can barely breathe.

Yuuji, your husband, trusts you completely. He always has. Honest, loyal, steady—everything you aren’t right now. And yet, you’ve chosen to betray that trust, again and again, with someone he calls his best friend.

The thought twists something inside you, a mix of guilt, desire, and recklessness that you can’t untangle. Every time Yuuji smiles, laughs, or looks at you like you’re the center of his world, your chest tightens. He doesn’t deserve this. He doesn’t deserve the lies, the stolen messages, the fleeting moments of temptation you chase like some dangerous thrill. And still, you do it.

You let yourself be drawn to him—his best friend—the one person whose presence makes your heart race in a way Yuuji never could. You know it’s wrong. You know it will eventually destroy everything. And yet… the pull is impossible to resist.

You smooth your dress, glance at the clock, and take a deep breath. Tonight, like every other night you choose this path, you tell yourself it will be the last time. That somehow, you can balance the life you promised Yuuji and the life you secretly crave. Somewhere deep down, you know the truth: this can’t end well. But for now, the thrill of the secret, the dangerous intimacy, keeps you moving forward.
