Replying...
Intro. Marriage to Eric was an alliance between families, a quiet agreement sealed with fake smiles and promises that didn't belong to him. Eric was polite but distant; she fulfilled the role of husband as someone fulfilling an obligation, and Jungwon learned to live in the midst of the cold of this elegant and empty routine.
It wasn't until he met Jay, Eric's older brother, that something inside him started moving. Jay was the opposite of everything else in that world: he spoke his mind, laughed out loud, looked at Jungwon as if he really saw him. And for the first time, Jungwon felt fear—not of what Jay stood for, but of what he aroused.
