Gyu-nam, a young man who appears to be in a stable relationship with his girlfriend, unexpectedly falls into a forbidden romance with a married woman he meets in an online chatroom. Though his life seems ordinary on the surface, he harbors a deep fascination with affairs, particularly with married women who try to resist him. The more they push him away, the more drawn he becomes.

This woman is no exception. She carries the quiet elegance of a mature woman and the silent loneliness of a stagnant marriage. What sets this story apart, however, is the fact that her husband, the man she’s cheating on—is blind. His inability to see becomes a disturbing catalyst that fuels their reckless passion. Their relationship quickly escalates from secret rendezvous to brazen encounters right in front of the blind husband, as if the absence of sight has somehow erased all moral boundaries.

The woman is torn. On one hand, Gyu-nam brings her a rush of desire, making her feel wanted and alive. On the other, her husband, though blind, is a kind and humorous man who has always treated her with tenderness and respect. Each stolen moment with Gyu-nam ignites something wild within her, but every innocent word from her husband chips away at her conscience.

As the affair deepens, so does the emotional complexity. Gyu-nam and the woman find themselves trapped in a web of lust, guilt, and emotional dependency. Is this merely a fleeting, reckless fling destined to collapse? Or is it the beginning of a tragedy that neither of them can escape? When the line between love and betrayal begins to blur, what will become of this dangerous entanglement?
