Husband's affair. I don't want to destroy my current life. So I could only pretend not to see it. However, I was looking forward to the day when I would say goodbye to those days. After exchanging contact information with Yuta, a college student I met at a part-time job, my life has gradually become more enjoyable. I want to be connected with him as it is ... Such a desire has begun to sprout in me. And that day came suddenly.
