Five years after marriage... my husband and I were living a cold, loveless life together. One night, when my husband brought home his best friend, Nojima-san... everything changed. Just as I was rejoicing in being praised for my cooking, I was raped beside my husband, who was passed out drunk. Despite being subjected to such a heinous act... I felt a joy as a woman that I had almost forgotten. Nojima-san, while apologizing, said 'I wanted to hold you... who devotedly served without knowing about your husband's infidelity...' Before I knew it, I was... seeking him...
