The ticking of the wall clock sounded serene in the living room. Morning sunlight filtering through the curtains added warmth to the room. Luna, still in her light blue silk nightgown, sat at the dining table with a cup of hot coffee in her hands. Her mind wandered, pondering why her husband, Lucas, hadn't come home all night.The front door slowly creaked open, and the sound of Lucas's footsteps approached. Luna turned, seeing her husband looking extremely tired. His eyes were puffy, his hair disheveled, and his face showed signs of lack of sleep. Lucas tried to smile, but the smile couldn't hide the exhaustion and turmoil on his face.“Where have you been all night, was there something urgent?” Luna greeted with a gentle yet questioning tone.Lucas nodded briefly, trying to avoid his wife's gaze. "It was—I had some matters to attend to," he replied shortly.Luna looked at Lucas with full attention. "Where did you go last night? I was worried," repeated Luna, impatient to get a defin
That night, the atmosphere in the house was quiet and tense. Lucas sat on the edge of the bed, staring out the window with a vacant expression. His heart felt heavy with guilt that continued to haunt him. In the next room, his wife, Luna, was busy with her work, seemingly unaware of Lucas's restlessness.Their marriage was not an ordinary one. It was a contractual marriage agreed upon to protect the business interests of their respective families. However, as time went on, Lucas began to feel something more than just a business obligation. He started to love Luna, although they had never really discussed their feelings for each other.But in the past week, Lucas felt trapped in his guilt. He sat brooding on the edge of the bed, his phone in hand. The light from the screen illuminated his tired and anxious face. His wife, Luna, was likely sound asleep in the next room, unaware of the turmoil her husband was going through.Lucas continuously opened and closed the messaging app on his ph
Lucas's house seemed more lively that night. The lights illuminated the room, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.Lize, Lucas's mother, came to visit. Luna, Lucas's wife, greeted her with a friendly smile at the door."Please come in, Mom," said Luna, inviting Lize inside. Lize nodded with a smile. She carried a small bag in her hand."Thank you, Luna. Your home is lovely," praised Lize. Luna smiled a bit nervously, feeling awkward with the compliment."We're very happy to have you here," replied Luna, walking toward the kitchen.They began preparing dinner together. Lize and Luna exchanged stories, though there was a slight awkwardness between them. Lize was elegant and authoritative, while Luna felt a bit pressured by her presence."Luna, how is your relationship with Lucas?" Lize suddenly asked, breaking the silence. Luna paused for a moment, weighing her response.The tension between them suddenly felt suffocating to Luna."Our relationship is good, Mom. We're trying to get to kn
In a cozy and warm bedroom, Luna and Lucas had just returned from a long day at work. They found themselves in the same room, a rare occurrence due to their busy schedules. The room was adorned with elegant yet simple touches, reflecting both of their personalities. But tonight felt different; there was a tension in the air that was hard to ignore, as two adults now shared such an intimate space.Luna sat on the edge of the bed, feeling awkward and shy. Her heart was racing, her face flushed. She stole a glance at Lucas, who was unbuttoning his collar in front of the mirror. He seemed calm, but Luna could see a hint of confusion in his eyes. They both knew that an important conversation needed to start soon, a conversation typically reserved for work, but now awkwardly positioned between two married individuals.Taking a deep breath, Luna tried to calm her nerves. "So, Lucas," she began slowly, her voice almost a whisper, "have you been thinking about... having children?"Luna turned
As they walked out of the amusement park area, Luna felt a happiness she had never experienced before. It was like, "Oh—so this is what it feels like—to enjoy the moment—such a feeling."Lucas looked at Luna with a loving gaze and said, "Today, we start getting closer.""So... Luna, will you start everything with me?""Is this... a confession?" Luna laughed, feeling like teenagers in love.Lucas held Luna's hand to make sure she didn’t get lost in the crowd.Lucas and Luna sat together to take a break from their Disneyland adventure. They found a comfortable bench under the shade of a large tree. The cheerful and lively atmosphere of Disneyland created the perfect backdrop for this moment, away from the energetic crowd.Luna, dressed in pastel colors with a shy smile, looked around with a sense of wonder. It was her first time visiting such a place, and everything felt so magical to her.Lucas, sitting beside her with a gentle smile on his face, looked at her. "It's great to see you e
Lucas and Luna sat in the middle row, enjoying the booming 5 Seconds of Summer concert. The stage lights flickered, following the rhythm of the energetic music. Every drumbeat and guitar strum made the entire stadium vibrate. Luna felt her body pulsating to the beat, her heart brimming with happiness.As the concert neared its end, 5 Seconds of Summer played their closing song, "Good Girls." The singer's melodious voice filled the air, captivating the audience's hearts. Luna and Lucas sat side by side, immersed in the harmony of the music and the romantic atmosphere emanating from each note. Lucas felt his heartbeat quicken as he glanced at Luna, who was smiling sweetly, her eyes sparkling in the dim light.He took a deep breath, trying to gather his courage. Despite feeling shy, he slowly reached for Luna's hand, holding it gently. Luna turned to him, her gaze meeting Lucas's affectionate eyes.They inched closer, each second feeling slow yet captivating. Lucas lowered his head, brin
The fresh air was filled with the sweet aroma of cotton candy and popcorn. Laughter from children and the sounds of attractions at Disneyland echoed all around me. I glanced to my side at Luna, who was laughing heartily while pulling me toward the next ride. There was a joy radiating from her face, something rarely seen considering how busy and competent she was at her job.We had just gotten off the roller coaster, and adrenaline was still coursing through my veins. Luna, with a wide smile on her face, looked so alive and free, a stark contrast to the image of the busy woman everyone else saw. I couldn’t help but smile seeing her like this.“Lucas, let's try that ride!” Luna pointed enthusiastically at a large carousel.“I didn’t know you could be this excited,” I said, laughing.“When else would I have a chance like this?” she replied with a cheerful laugh.I followed her lead, feeling the same freedom. This was a side of Luna I rarely saw. Usually, she was always serious, full of
That morning, Lucas was getting ready for a business trip out of town. Luna, always busy with company matters, could only accompany Lucas to the front door.“Take care, Lucas. I will miss you,” Luna said, smiling though there was a hint of worry in her eyes.Lucas gently pinched Luna's cheek. “Don't worry, I'm more concerned about you. Is your family still bothering you?”Luna shook her head. “No, everything is fine now.”Lucas nodded and then hugged Luna tightly. “In that case, my only task will be missing you, darling. Don’t be too hard on yourself at the office, okay?” Lucas playfully tapped the tip of Luna's nose.Luna nodded. “I know. You too, don’t overwork yourself there.”Lucas kissed Luna's forehead softly before letting go of the hug. “I’ll be back soon. Joe is already waiting for me in the car. Goodbye, Luna.”“Goodbye, Lucas,” Luna replied, watching her husband walk towards the car where Joe, his assistant, was waiting.During the journey, Lucas and Joe discussed their wor
