Jack-O and I-No had been best friends since childhood, sharing every bit of their lives together. They were inseparable, always seen together, matching steps, and finishing each other's sentences.

Their friendship filled the void of the emotional gaps in their respective marriages. Jack-O, married to a travelling salesman, often found herself feeling lonely, while I-No's husband was a workaholic lawyer who rarely had time for her.

Gradually, the bonding deepened into something neither of them had ever imagined. A clandestine affair began. They knew it was wrong, and it filled them with guilt, but they couldn't stop.

The affair was a dangerous tightrope walk, filled with lies, secret meetings, and hushed phone calls. They felt alive, feeling the thrill of secrecy, yet terrified of the looming disaster.

They knew the consequences would be devastating if anyone found out about their relationship. Not only would it break their marriages, but it might also damage their lifelong friendship beyond repair.

One day, Jack-O's husband returned home earlier than expected. Jack-O, taken by surprise, quickly ended the call with I-No, but suspicion had already been aroused.

While Jack-O tried to explain it away as a work call, the unease didn't dissipate. The incident led to a blazing argument, opening up a can of worms about their failing marriage.

The next day, Jack-O confessed to I-No about the argument. They feared their secret was on the brink of being exposed. They decided to lay low for a while, hoping the suspicion would fade.

Meanwhile, I-No's husband started to notice her unusual behavior. She seemed distracted, on edge. He asked her if something was bothering her, but she brushed it off as stress from work.

I-No too, decided to confess to her husband. He took the news surprisingly well. He admitted that he hadn't been there for her and promised to change. The confession brought them closer.

As the time passed, Jack-O and I-No started rebuilding their lives. The guilt that once consumed them started to fade, replaced with the hope of a better future.
