"Seongwoo." Daniel asks when he gets back, and seongwoo is watching the television.

"Hm?" Seongwoo doesn't bother to look at him. Daniel's throat constricts.

"Lets," seongwoo looks at him. "Let's go out tomorrow."

Daniel sees seongwoo stiffening, before he stands up from the couch and walks over. "I'm sorry, I can't. There's a client meeting me tomorrow."

Daniel bites his lip. "Please just, just tomorrow. Just a one time thing, please."

Seongwoo stays silent. Daniel lets a tear slip accidentally. "Please. This will be the last time."

Seongwoo keeps silent for another minute, and when Daniel is walking away, he calls out a "sure."

But Daniel isn't happy. He can't bring himself to feel happy when seongwoo had forgotten all about their third anniversary. And as he's about to step out of the washroom, he hears a conversation.

"Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with him."
"No, baby, of course not. I'd pick you over him any day."
"I promise, I'll divorce him on our second anniversary."

Second anniversary.

Things went wrong two years ago, and Daniel didn't know.

Daniel slips back into the washroom. Tears are slipping out unintentionally.

He cries as he slides down the doors.

He grabs the razor from the shelf.
