This is a story about an open-relationship between an unwilling prostitute and a married man. 


He was in an open marriage, but she's not the wife. To be one of the many partners of a man committed to another woman was her role. 


She wanted to hide her feelings that were starting to grow, her longing to be by his side, and lastly herself, by virtue of an open relationship. 


However, it was all for naught. When everything came to light, she desired to end the relationship they had. Her last words echoed through his mind as she bid him farewell through her mournful eyes. 


"If only I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be hurting this badly."

A Rich Man's Lover

All the while busy studying for her midterm examinations, Syn was leisurely humming a melody. It was the classical piece closest to her mother's heart. The woman would use it as a lullaby for her sons who had a hard time falling asleep.

To be specific, the name of the classical piece was Kinderszenen, Op. 15: No. 7, Traumerei by Robert Schumann. The piece would always give Syn a sense of being back at home with her mother and brothers. The feeling of nostalgia would rush to her heart, making her yearn for the old times even more.

Cooking breakfast for the younger ones; cleaning up the mess they created during their playtime, listening to their endless complaints; those were some of the things that Syn missed doing. If she were to choose, she would rather spend her time unproductively with her brothers than earn money to pay the debt.

However, one's ideal life would usually be attained in exchange for a great sacrifice.
