ADN-647 At a class reunion, a soon-to-be-divorced classmate I reunited with pressured me, an engaged man, to make some memories together — Yukine Nagasaki

After graduating from university, I married my boyfriend, who worked for a trading company. From the outside, it may have looked like I was fortunate. But life with my husband made it hard to breathe. Were those really business trips? A scent of unfamiliar perfume drifting from his shirt. Then one night, my husband suddenly handed me divorce papers.

That weekend, after a class reunion, I ended up walking home with Yuzuru, an old classmate. Smiling shyly, Yuzuru told me he was getting married soon. As we talked about old times and marriage, we drank too much. In the end, I brought Yuzuru back to my home while my husband was away.
