I Heard I'm a Substitute?

A silly, sweet top and a wealthy, powerful bottom in a ridiculous comedy (the most inexplicable ex-pursues-his-spouse-after-the-breakup story ever)

The beautiful, pampered top and the powerful bottom have been in love for seven years, still as sweet as newlyweds. They're the couple everyone envies most.

They thought they'd be lovey-dovey until the end of their lives.

Then one day, the powerful bottom comes home from work, ready to enjoy his adorable sweetheart.

But his darling is teary-eyed, dragging a suitcase and preparing to run away from home.

The powerful bottom: "Is this some new game?"

The beautiful, pampered spouse looks utterly hopeless. "I've given up. Let me go. I'll let you two be together."

As he speaks, he tearfully packs the antiques, limited-edition sneakers, and jewelry from the safe into his suitcase one by one.

Oh, and he drives off in the globally limited-edition Ferrari, too.

Well, in the end, he moves in with his mother. The very next day, the powerful bottom gets a loving check-in from his dear mother.

Listening to his mother berate him over the phone and looking at his home as if it had been ransacked by bandits, the powerful bottom grits his teeth. "Find out what weird movies or novels he's been watching lately!"

Bonus scene

The "caged bird" forcibly dragged home has tears in his eyes as he shakily undoes his shirt buttons. He closes his eyes and stubbornly says, "You may have my body, but you'll never get..."

The powerful bottom: "Shut up."

The little caged bird obediently shuts his mouth, but his gaze remains defiant. "Y-you can even... kill me, but I'll never give in!"

#What do you do when your sweetheart of seven years thinks he's a substitute caged bird? #
