Their marriage was never built on love, but Boom had once hoped that, someday, Aou might learn to love him.
Forced into an arranged marriage to unite their families, Aou never hid his resentment toward Boom. To him, their marriage was nothing more than an obligation, a responsibility imposed on him by his family. His heart belonged to Yumi, the woman he loved blindly, never realizing that she was only using him for her own benefit.
No matter how hard Boom tried to be a good husband, he was never enough. Aou constantly chose Yumi over him, leaving Boom alone at family gatherings, abandoning their plans for the sake of his lover, and making him feel like an unwanted stranger in his own home.
Yet Boom stayed. He endured the humiliation, swallowed his pain, and continued loving a man who made him feel unworthy of love.
But even the deepest love has its limits.
After almost 1 year of being treated as Aou's second choice, Boom finally decides that he deserves more than a marriage where he is the only one fighting to keep it alive. He files for divorce, signs every document, and asks someone to deliver the papers to Aou. For the first time, Boom chooses himself over the man he has spent so long loving.
When the divorce papers finally reach Aou, he dismisses them at first, believing Boom is merely trying to get his attention. But the moment he sees Boom's signature, something inside him breaks.
Overwhelmed by regret, Aou rushes home, desperate to confront Boom, to demand an explanation, and perhaps to convince himself that there is still time to fix everything.
But when he arrives, the house is painfully silent.
Boom's belongings are gone. His clothes are no longer in the closet, his shoes are missing by the door, and the little things that once reminded Aou of his husband's presence have disappeared. There is no Boom waiting for him, no familiar voice greeting him, and no one left to pretend that their marriage is still worth saving.
