LUCY-014 A somewhat lonely housewife in a housing complex hangs red lingerie on the balcony as a sign that her husband is away. Himezaki Hana

An inappropriate relationship between a married woman with a family and a younger male college student means they cannot go on bold dates, so they mostly meet at her home. Relying on a signal like, When my husband is away, I’ll hang red underwear on the balcony…, the college student keeps visiting her home and spending time together. An affair falls apart when it goes beyond physical attraction and special feelings begin to develop. No matter how much they try to restrain themselves, jealousy and affection become intertwined. Just when raw desire seems about to turn into love, they tell themselves this is the last time, hold each other close, and passionately lose themselves in each other.
