00:02I came home from a business trip. The bathroom drain was clogged. Water everywhere.
00:09While waiting for the plumber, I scrolled Twitter and saw a post.
00:13How do you hide used condoms? Top comment said,
00:17Trust me, flush them down the bathroom drains.
00:20Oh, and do it in the shower or sink. His wife hasn't found out for a year.
00:25I frowned. Such twisted advice. Probably just talk.
00:32Just then, the plumber pulled out the clog. He grinned at me.
00:36You young people really go wild. Once or twice is fine, but you use too many. No wonder it clogged.
00:41I saw the bucket full of all kinds of condoms. I stared at the bucket. My mind was buzzing.
00:48How could that be? My husband is Harvard professor. Very dignified. Very caring.
00:53My company keeps me busy. I often work late into the night. He adjusted his schedule just to cook for
01:00me.
01:00How could someone who loves me so much do this? Must be from the upstairs neighbor, clogged my pipe.
01:06I forced myself to calm down. The plumber didn't notice my turmoil.
01:11I'll run the water to check if it's clear. Pay me after.
01:14He turned on the shower. Steam filled the bathroom. On the glass shower door, handprints appeared.
01:23Several handprints, overlapping, at a height that required bending over.
01:29Male and female handprints were obvious. You could even tell what positions they used.
01:34The steam made it hard for me to breathe. My heart felt squeezed. The steam spread to the mirror, fogging
01:42it up.
01:43Handprints appeared there too, messy and scattered. I stared at those marks.
01:49Suddenly I remembered that post. My husband is shy, even resistant in bed.
01:55We never did anything in the bathroom. The plumber finished testing.
02:00All clear now.
02:02In a daze, I paid him by phone. He carried the heavy trash bag and kindly warned me.
02:09Miss, don't throw these down the drain anymore. I'll toss this bag for you downstairs.
02:13Soon the door opened. Michael rushed in, breathing hard. A thin sweat on his forehead.
02:19Honey, weren't you coming back tomorrow? The more are you here this afternoon.
02:24His tone as gentle as always.
02:27Have you eaten? I'll make your favorite soup.
02:30Nothing seemed different, but he felt like a stranger. Then I remembered.
02:35Michael had said some students failed, and he had to stay for extra classes.
02:41So he gets off at 4.30 every day. I looked at my watch. 4 o'clock exactly.
02:47He left early, and he wasn't surprised to see me. My driver brought me back.
02:53The car wasn't parked in the neighborhood. How did he know I was home?
03:00Michael was busy in the kitchen, even humming a tune.
03:04Everything seemed as warm as always, but I knew it was all a lie.
03:09By the way, how did you know I was home? His hand paused on the knife.
03:13It's my intuition. Today's the last day of break. The students wanted to go home early, so I let them
03:18go.
03:18His tone was so natural, but my heart sank inch by inch.
03:24I went back to the living room, took out my phone, and texted a friend.
03:28She was the administrator at Michael's school. She helped him get that job.
03:33Quick question. Does your school have extra classes for failing students during break?
03:40Yes? So what? I felt a little better. At least he really was teaching.
03:46Can you send me my husband's schedule? She replied almost instantly.
03:51Schedule? Charlotte, you're mistaken.
03:54Yes, there are makeup classes, but he's not on the list.
03:59I stared at those words. My blood ran cold.
04:03Just then, Michael came out with steaming soup. The smell filled the room.
04:08What are you spacing out for? Eat while it's hot. Your favorite.
04:12I picked up my fork. Why aren't you eating?
04:16His face flushed unnaturally.
04:18Oh, some Shishin's brought me snacks. I'm not hungry now. Eat before it gets cold.
04:23That meal, I tasted nothing. Every familiar flavor felt like chewing glass.
04:30I don't even know how I finished it.
04:33That night in bed, he leaned against the headboard reading, peaceful.
04:38I tossed and turned. Somehow, I opened that post again.
04:42My fingers trembling, I found that comment and anonymously replied,
04:47Aren't you afraid his wife will find out?
04:51Within minutes, my phone buzzed. They replied.
04:56My hand holding the phone wouldn't stop shaking.
05:00Every filthy word on the screen was a knife cutting into me.
05:05I suddenly remembered his unnatural blush at dinner when I asked why he wasn't eating.
05:10My stomach churned. I turned away, forcing down the nausea.
05:15Michael felt my movement. He put down his book and looked at me with concern.
05:21What's wrong, honey? You look terrible. Are you sick?
05:25His eyes were full of care. I stared into his eyes. My voice was hoarse.
05:34Michael, is there something you want to tell me?
05:37He paused.
05:41Yes.
05:42My heart clenched, almost jumping out of my chest.
05:46I slowly sat up, looking at him, waiting.
05:50What do you want to say?
05:52He suddenly giggled and reached up to touch my cheek.
05:55I want you to rest well and not work so hard.
05:59Look at you. Your face is ruined by work. It hurts me.
06:04At that moment, my heart was sour and bitter. A mess of emotions. How could he?
06:11How could he do those dirty things and then casually say sweet things to me?
06:15For a moment, I even thought I was imagining it all. But that reply. That tracker. Those handprints were burned
06:23into my brain.
06:24I don't know what came over me. Maybe jealousy and anger clouded my mind.
06:30I remembered what that person said.
06:33Honey, how long has it been since we did it?
06:37I reached out to hold him. He instinctively pushed me away. I laughed bitterly and continued.
06:45Today I saw a post. They said the bathroom mirror is very exciting.
06:53His gentle face twisted into disgust. He sat up abruptly.
07:00Charlotte! What kind of nasty thigh thoughts are in your head?
07:04You know I hate that kind of thing. I've been tired all day and you say this disgusting stuff to
07:10me?
07:11He grabbed my pillow and threw it at me hard.
07:14Stay away from me! You're dirty!
07:16I looked at his face, full of disgust and contempt.
07:19I felt all my strength drain away. I said nothing. Quietly picked up the pillow and walked out.
07:26I'll sleep in the study tonight.
07:28No voice came from behind. No one called me back.
07:32The moment I closed the study door, darkness swallowed me.
07:36That night I didn't sleep at all.
07:38I sat on the couch and drank one glass of red wine after another.
07:43I didn't understand why everything had turned out like this.
07:47I knew how good he was to me. How gentle and caring.
07:51I felt guilty. I was busy with the company, with endless work.
07:55I neglected him. Maybe, maybe that was the root of it all.
08:01If he really loved her, I would let him go.
08:04That's not weakness. That's the last respect I have for this relationship.
08:09But how could I bring it up?
08:11I couldn't even imagine what we would become if I said,
08:14You cheated.
08:16Near dawn, I made a decision.
08:19Before confronting Michael, I needed to find out some things.
08:23I texted a tech friend and asked her to trace an IP address and get information.
08:30Honestly, I was running away. I didn't dare face Michael directly.
08:36The next morning, when I opened the study door, it was already bright.
08:40On the dining table, milk and a sandwich were waiting.
08:44A note was tucked beside them, in Michael's elegant handwriting.
08:48Let's not fight.
08:51Those three words and the still warm breakfast made my heart ache.
08:56I knew this might be the last breakfast he ever made for me.
09:00Today, no matter the outcome, Michael and I would come to an end.
09:05I had to meet this student named Chloe.
09:08I ate that breakfast, changed clothes, and drove straight to Harvard.
09:13I timed it for the end of class.
09:16I waited outside the psychology building.
09:20The bell rang. Students streamed out.
09:24I stopped a girl carrying books.
09:27Excuse me, does Chloe have class in this room?
09:30Yeah, Chloe's in our class. You're looking for her?
09:33Where is she?
09:34Oh, her group didn't finish their assignment.
09:37Professor Michael kept her after class to finish it.
09:40The student left with her friends.
09:42The hallway emptied. Only I remained.
09:45But that classroom door stayed shut.
09:48At that moment, all my patients ran out.
09:51I walked to the door.
09:53Sounds came through the crack.
09:55A woman moaning. A man grunting.
09:58The table shook. My brain buzzed.
10:01Blood rushed to my head.
10:03I kicked the door open with all my strength.
10:07By the podium, Michael's shirt was unbuttoned.
10:10He was holding a young girl.
10:12His dazed eyes looking at me.
10:16The person standing there had a face I knew all too well.
10:21So familiar that I would recognize her even if she turned to Ash.
10:26But she shouldn't be here.
10:28She shouldn't be standing before me.
10:30Alive.
10:31With that youthful arrogance and defiance.
10:35Because she had died 10 years ago.
10:38Michael's first love.
10:40The one he had hidden in his heart for 10 years.
10:44And never truly forgotten.
10:46Anna.
10:47Who died in a car accident.
10:49All my anger.
10:51All my humiliation.
10:53Drained away the moment I saw that face.
10:56A chill ran from my feet to my scalp.
11:00I stood at the door like an idiot.
11:02The world went silent.
11:04I couldn't see Michael's pale face.
11:06All I saw was that face.
11:09Identical to the faded photo Michael kept in his wallet.
11:13The same single eyelids.
11:15The same thin lips.
11:17Even the same faint curve of a smile.
11:20She looked at me with no panic at all.
11:22Just a hint of amusement and triumphant pride.
11:26She slowly put on her skirt.
11:29Straightened her messy clothes.
11:30And took two steps toward me.
11:33Michael tried to stop her.
11:34But she gently pushed him aside.
11:37Professor Michael.
11:38Don't be scared.
11:39This is your wife right?
11:41We should properly meet.
11:43Miss Charlotte.
11:44Hello.
11:45My name is Chloe.
11:46I'm Professor Michael's student.
11:50Chloe?
11:51I stared at her not taking her hand.
11:54My mind was completely blank.
12:00I remember many years ago.
12:02I wasn't a CEO.
12:03And Michael wasn't the gentle, caring professor he is now.
12:09I first saw him in the university library.
12:11Holding a thick psychology book.
12:14Sitting by the window.
12:15Sunlight fell on him.
12:17He was handsome.
12:18Like a quiet painting.
12:20But fragile as porcelain.
12:22Later I learned that a dead person lived in his heart.
12:25A girl named Anna.
12:27Anna.
12:27The only person he ever loved in his youth.
12:31But just before the college exam.
12:33Anna was hit by a truck from a saving a child.
12:36She never woke up.
12:38After that, Michael's world turned grey.
12:41He studied like crazy.
12:43Got into Harvard.
12:44And chose psychology.
12:46Anna's favourite subject.
12:47It took me three whole years.
12:50All my patience and tenderness.
12:52Just to slowly pull him out of that closed world.
12:56I thought my love could fill the hole in his heart.
13:00After graduation, he wanted to teach at the university.
13:03I helped him.
13:05My company grew.
13:07We got married.
13:08He put away Anna's photo.
13:10I thought I had finally walked in his heart.
13:14I thought Michael finally belonged to me completely.
13:17But now this girl named Chloe.
13:20With a face exactly like Anna's.
13:23Appeared before me like this.
13:25Anna seemed to be back.
13:27Her face told me.
13:29Charlotte, you were wrong.
13:31He never loved you.
13:35Michael's body shook violently.
13:37He looked at me, lips trembling.
13:40Unable to speak a word.
13:41Tears fell like broken beads.
13:44His silence was the answer.
13:46Chloe's smile deepened.
13:48But it doesn't matter.
13:49She pulled back her hand and put it in her pocket.
13:52What matters is that from now on...
13:54Her tone was light.
13:56Professor Michael is mine, right?
13:59No!
14:00Charlotte, let me explain.
14:01It's not what you think.
14:02I...
14:04What do I think?
14:05Do I think of you doing those dirty things on my bed?
14:08In my bathroom?
14:10Or do I think of you in bed with her?
14:12Calling out my name or Anna's?
14:14Every word was a knife.
14:16Stabbing him and cutting into my own heart.
14:19Michael's face lost all color.
14:21He stumbled back.
14:24I didn't...
14:26I didn't...
14:27I didn't...
14:28I turned my gaze back to Chloe.
14:30That face I both hated and ached for.
14:33Are you leaving on your own or do I call security to throw you out?
14:37Chloe shrugged indifferently.
14:39Fine.
14:40I'll go.
14:41She walked to Michael, leaned down, and whispered in his ear, loud enough for me to hear.
14:48Professor, wait for my call.
14:50Then she shot me a defiant look and swaggered past me out of the classroom.
14:55Only Michael and I remained.
14:57And the mess in the room, just like our marriage at its end.
15:03On the way home from school, we said nothing.
15:06The air in the car was suffocating.
15:09Michael sat in the passenger seat, crying since we left.
15:13Curled up, shoulders shaking.
15:16His muffled sobs gripped my heart.
15:19I stared at the road ahead, hands tight on the wheel.
15:23I didn't comfort him.
15:25I didn't look at him.
15:27I was afraid that if I opened my mouth,
15:29I was afraid that if I looked at him,
15:32I'd turn the car around and go beat that Chloe girl to death.
15:36But in the end, I did nothing.
15:39The car pulled into the underground garage.
15:42I turned off the engine, pulled the handbrake.
15:46I sat in the driver's seat, not moving.
15:50Get out.
15:51After a long time I spoke, my voice hoarse.
15:55Michael slowly stopped crying.
15:58He looked up, his face stained with tears.
16:01Charlotte.
16:05Can we talk?
16:09What else is there to talk about?
16:11Talk about how you met, how many times you slept together.
16:14Or how you looked at that face and hypnotized yourself into thinking she was Anna?
16:22No, it's not like that!
16:24He tried to grab my hand, but I pulled away.
16:27His hand froze in mid-air.
16:30His face was so helpless and desperate.
16:34We'll talk at home.
16:36Then unbuckled and got out.
16:38I didn't want anyone to see us like this.
16:42That was the last shred of pride I had.
16:45At home, a coffee table stood between us, like an unbridgeable gap.
16:52Talk.
16:55I want to hear what happened.
16:58Michael's tears came again.
17:00Chloe had transferred into his class a year ago.
17:03The first day he saw her, Michael said he thought he was seeing a ghost, just like me.
17:10That face was too similar.
17:12So similar that for a moment he froze and called out Anna's name in class.
17:18The whole class laughed.
17:21Only Chloe gave him a meaningful smile.
17:23After that, Chloe started getting close to him.
17:28She would ask him deep psychology questions, discuss the philosophers Anna loved.
17:35Even wear white skirts like Anna and appear on his way home.
17:41I knew it was wrong.
17:43I was married.
17:44I was her teacher.
17:46I deliberately avoided her.
17:49But Chloe was like a skilled hunter.
17:52She knew his weak spots.
17:54She would find out of print books Anna read as a teenager and leave them on his desk.
18:01She would play the only piano piece Anna knew and send him recordings.
18:06She even found Anna's grave and showed up with white flowers on the anniversary when he went to pay respects.
18:15Professor Michael, I really want to be the one who lives in your memory.
18:21The day his defenses broke was the seventh day of my overseas business trip.
18:29That night he was home alone.
18:31He received a message from Chloe.
18:34A photo.
18:35In the photo she wore in Harvard uniform and smiled at the camera.
18:40She said,
18:41Professor, I miss you.
18:43I want to see you again.
18:45For her.
18:46That day he somehow called her over to the house.
18:50After that things couldn't be stopped.
18:53He enjoyed the forbidden thrill and illusory comfort while feeling guilty toward me.
18:59So he doubled his kindness to me to compensate and numb himself.
19:05Charlotte, can you forgive me?
19:07I swear I'll never see her again.
19:12I'll cut her off completely.
19:15Let's go back to how we were, okay?
19:22I listened quietly.
19:24I looked down at him kneeling there.
19:27This man I had loved for so many years.
19:30Suddenly he felt like a stranger.
19:33I thought I knew him well enough.
19:36But only today did I realize I knew nothing.
19:39I didn't know that the person in his heart had never left.
19:43I didn't know that all my years of companionship and love meant less than a similar face.
19:48I didn't know that my so-called happy marriage was a joke from start to finish.
19:53I slowly pulled my leg back.
19:55Then I looked into his eyes and asked.
19:58With a calmness I had never felt before.
20:01The question that had been circling in my mind for so long.
20:05So Michael.
20:07All these years when you looked at me.
20:09Were you looking at me or at someone else?
20:14Michael looked up at me lost.
20:16That look gave me my final answer.
20:20After that night, Michael moved to the guest room.
20:23Our home became a place of silence.
20:27He no longer fussed over me.
20:29He just cooked silently.
20:32Ate alone in the kitchen.
20:34Then quietly returned to his room and locked the door.
20:38He moved carefully around me.
20:40Afraid to make any noise that would annoy me.
20:44I locked myself in the study.
20:46During the day, I buried myself in endless work at the company.
20:51Numbing myself.
20:52At night, I stared at the computer screen.
20:55We were both escaping the reality we couldn't face.
20:59I didn't mention divorce.
21:00I knew that once said, there was no going back.
21:05A faint, stubborn hope remained in my heart.
21:08A hope I didn't even want to admit.
21:12Maybe time would heal everything?
21:15Maybe he really could cut ties with Chloe?
21:18But I was still too naive.
21:19One afternoon, a week later, I was in an important video meeting when my phone buzzed.
21:26A picture message from an unknown number.
21:29I frowned, about to delete it, but somehow opened it.
21:34The image on the screen made my pupils contract.
21:37It was a photo.
21:40The photo was taken in our master bedroom, on the bed Michael and I had shared for years.
21:47Michael lay on his side in a silk robe, seemingly asleep.
21:52A young woman's hand gently caressed his cheek.
21:56The angle was tricky, shot from above, as if the photographer was standing by the bed,
22:03looking at my husband with a possessive, appraising gaze.
22:08Below the photo was a line of text.
22:11Miss Charlotte.
22:12Thank you for taking care of him all these years.
22:15But now, he's mine.
22:18Something snapped in my head.
22:20I stood up abruptly, startling everyone on the video call.
22:24Meeting paused.
22:26I almost shouted.
22:28Then ended the call, grabbed my phone and keys, and ran out.
22:32I remember how I drove home.
22:34I only know my foot was almost to the floor, rage burning in my chest.
22:40How dare she! How dare she be so arrogant!
22:44She slept with my man, took over my bed, and now dared to taunt me like this!
22:48I kicked open the front door and stormed into the master bedroom.
22:53The bed was empty, only messy blankets.
22:56Michael heard the noise and rushed out of the guest room, panicked.
23:00When he saw me, his face went white.
23:05Charlotte, you...
23:06Why are you back?
23:08I didn't answer.
23:10I held up my phone and shoved the photo in his face.
23:14What is this?
23:16Explain!
23:18Michael saw the photo and his body swayed, as if all strength left him.
23:23He nearly collapsed.
23:26No, no, I don't know.
23:31I don't know when she took that.
23:35Last night, I drank the milk you poured for me and fell asleep.
23:39I don't know anything.
23:41The milk I poured for you?
23:43I laughed coldly, stepping toward him.
23:46Michael, you're still trying to lie to me?
23:50I worked overnight at the company last night.
23:52When did I come home to pour you milk?
23:55His lie exposed, the last color drained from Michael's face.
24:00He collapsed on the ground and finally broke down crying.
24:06He stammered that Chloe had somehow made a copy of our house key.
24:11When I wasn't home, she would sneak in.
24:14Sometimes, when I was on business trips, she would even stay the night.
24:19As for the photo, Michael said he really didn't know.
24:23But he admitted that last night, while I was working overnight, Chloe had come again.
24:30Then, they were together again.
24:33Didn't you say you would cut her off?
24:35I was shaking with fury, pointing at him, feeling like my chest would explode.
24:46I can't help it.
24:49Michael's face was full of pain and struggle.
24:54I tried.
24:56I really tried.
24:58But the moment I see her face, I can't control myself.
25:02She is Anna! She is Anna!
25:05She knows everything about Anna.
25:07She says what Anna said, does what Anna did.
25:14I really love her.
25:15I looked at him, lost in his madness.
25:19My heart was dead.
25:21He never planned to turn back.
25:23He was already in too deep.
25:26And I, a living person who had been with him for 10 years, was the outsider.
25:32Suddenly, I found it ridiculous.
25:35What was I holding on to?
25:37What was I hoping for?
25:39I slowly put away my phone, turned, and walked toward the door.
25:44Charlotte!
25:45Where are you going?
25:46Michael panicked.
25:48He scrambled to grab my legs.
25:50I stepped aside.
25:55To do what I should have done long ago.
26:00I walked out of that house without looking back.
26:03This time, I drove straight to my childhood friend's law firm.
26:07This relationship needed to end.
26:09I met Chloe at a quiet cafe.
26:10I was the one who called her.
26:12When I said my name, she didn't sound surprised at all.
26:15Her tone even had a hint of amusement.
26:17Mrs. Charlotte?
26:18Finally willing to see me?
26:20I thought you'd stay a coward forever.
26:22I ignored her taunt and coldly gave her the time and place.
26:26When I arrived, she was already sitting by the window.
26:29She wore a plain white t-shirt, looking like a clean, fresh-faced girl next door.
26:33But I knew what kind of heart hid beneath that harmless exterior.
26:37She saw me and smiled, waving.
26:39Spit it out. What do you want from me?
26:41I got straight to the point.
26:42Didn't want to waste time.
26:43Chloe stirred her coffee and spoke slowly.
26:46Miss Charlotte, why so rushed?
26:48We should talk properly.
26:50Actually, I really should thank you.
26:52If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy such a perfect man.
26:56My hand under the table clenched into a fist.
26:59You're proud of yourself, aren't you?
27:00I forced those words out through my teeth, each one cold.
27:04Chloe's smile grew even brighter.
27:07Of course.
27:08She didn't hide her pride.
27:10This is so much fun.
27:13Especially watching him play the perfect husband in front of you, while falling apart in my bed.
27:19That feeling.
27:21Mmm.
27:22So exciting.
27:24I said coldly.
27:25You're a pervert.
27:26She shrugged.
27:27Maybe.
27:28But aren't you curious?
27:30How do I know so much about Anna?
27:32So clearly?
27:34I said nothing.
27:35Just looked at her, waiting.
27:37Because Professor Michael has a diary.
27:40He started that diary in high school.
27:42It's full of every little thing about him and Anna.
27:45What she liked.
27:46What she hated.
27:47What she said.
27:48What she dreamed.
27:51My heart sank.
27:53He kept that diary with him always.
27:55Later, he locked it in his office drawer at school.
27:59Unluckily for him, I got a key.
28:02She smiled.
28:05Wanted?
28:06Satisfied at my shocked expression.
28:08Maybe a good friend.
28:08You have to fix the situation.
28:08I went to190, 2,810 to 20,000.
28:09And she looked at the reality.
28:09A fluctuating.
28:09And she was injured.
