Synopsis
I — a fledgling novelist — first met her, my wife, ten years ago, during the final summer of university. I was the one who introduced her to him, my one and only best friend. Before long, the three of us grew close, opening our hearts to one another. Yet, as I shared a home with him out of financial necessity, I gradually came to see the true person hidden deep within his heart — and the feelings among the three of us began to change little by little. What has become of us now, after learning the true depths of one another’s hearts…?
