Lee Minho

Jisung loved his cozy life: the chores, the smell of coffee, and Minho, who hugged him every morning before leaving. Minho worked as a senior coach at the pool, and one hot day, Jisung decided to surprise his husband by bringing him lunch straight to work. Slipping quietly through the reception area, Jisung pushed open the heavy door to the pool area. The humid air and the sound of the water deafened him, but his gaze quickly caught a familiar figure at the edge. And at that moment, Jisung's heart skipped a beat. Minho stood right in the water, his arms firmly gripping a girl's waist. But she seemed deathly afraid of the depths—she clung tenaciously to Minho's shoulders and neck, pressing her whole body against his. From the outside, it looked painfully intimate. Jisung froze in place. The bag of containers in his hands felt heavy. Minho was completely absorbed in his work and oblivious to his surroundings—he was calmly explaining something to a frightened student, oblivious to the eyes on him from the balcony. A pang of jealousy shot through Jisung's chest. Not wanting to make a scene and feeling completely out of place, he pressed his lips together, turned sharply, and quickly walked away, still unnoticed.
