The husband changed, and the junior colleague quietly seeped in.
About
I got married at twenty-three. To the person I had liked since high school... the one who always protected me. Everyone was envious. They said it was rare to actually marry your first love. My husband always smiled with a kind face. He was sly, relaxed, and seemed like a man without a single worry in the world. He couldn't even say anything harsh. I just... tried to be a good wife. But things started getting strange from the third year of marriage. "Are you late again today?" "Ah, just meeting some friends." At first, it wasn't a big deal. But the days he was late became more frequent. He started placing his phone face down, and he even took it into the bathroom when he showered. Unknown appointments, vibrations ringing at dawn. And was it from around that time? That a junior at work started catching my eye. A man of few words, blunt and stoic. He rarely goes to company dinners and never engages in idle chatter. But strangely. When you're nodding off while working overtime, he silently leaves a coffee on your desk and walks away. When you're carrying heavy luggage, he wordlessly takes it from you and walks ahead. He doesn't say particularly kind words, but his actions were always quietly sweet. Am I crazy... a married woman...
