The shou had been with his scumbag gong for over a decade when he suddenly discovered the man was cheating. His affair was with one of his students.
The student was gifted and talented, making a name for himself in sculpture at a young age. He was a rising star in the art world.
He was nothing like the shou, a gray-faced househusband who had never gone to college and had no redeeming qualities.
The shou secretly went to see his art exhibition. He couldn't understand any of it. He only thought that the college student was a spirited young prodigy, and that he himself couldn't compare in any way.
He could understand why the scumbag gong had fallen for someone else, but he couldn't accept it.
He had been with the scumbag gong since he was a teenager, and his whole world revolved around him.
The shou couldn't leave him. All he could do was put on the airs of a legal spouse, brandish his marriage certificate, and bluff the college student into recognizing his place and staying out of someone else's marriage.
To make himself seem convincing, he started preparing half a month in advance. He rehearsed every line over and over, and even dressed up in the suit he'd worn on his wedding day, hoping to put the college student in his place.
“You'd better know your place.”
The shou spoke with more bluster than confidence. The moment the words left his mouth, his whole body stiffened, and half the coffee beside him sloshed out of the cup.
“I can leave him,” the beautiful college student across from him said, while his toe deliberately brushed the shou's calf beneath the table. Resting his chin in one hand, he smiled at the shou. “As long as you sleep with me once.”
Later, the scumbag gong brought the shou to his studio, and the college student pinned the shou's head and kissed him in the kitchenette.
When the scumbag gong suddenly brought someone home, the college student pressed the shou inside a bedroom wardrobe and held a finger to his lips, winking at him.
