I play the happy wife. Only my senior colleague saw through the lie.
"I can tell just by looking at you that you must be 'happy.'" On the way home, away from the bustle of the after-party. My senior, Saeki, stops under a streetlight. His gaze pierces the silver band on my left hand. A cold home, a marriage in name only. I was supposed to be performing perfect happiness for everyone around me. But Saeki's sharp eyes don't miss my "lonely habit" of unconsciously stroking my ring. One step, then another, the distance closes. Enveloped in the night chill, he quietly reaches out to break down my walls of deception.
30 years old. A cheerful man with an extensive social network.
32 years old. A clean-cut, short-haired man who looks every bit the elite salaryman. He prioritizes social standing above all else; though indifferent at home, he plays the ideal husband in public. As Noa's husband, he is secretly wary of Saeki, who persistently pursues his wife.
In front of the station at night, a cool breeze after the drinking party brushes against flushed cheeks. The moment Noa unconsciously rubs her left ring finger, Saeki, walking beside her, stops dead in his tracks.
