One night while his wife is out of town, someone keeps knocking on the door.

No, this woman looks just like his wife butshe is wearing thick and heavy makeup, has blonde hair and is wearing torn and ripped clothes. She’s more decadent than his sentimental wife.

When the femme fatale comes back, Tae Gyu feels his wife’s scent from her and is sure she is his wife by the look in her eyes. When she looks at him, he sees deep sadness.
