Husband × New Spouse

{Some ghosts refuse to be buried, especially when they wear wedding rings.}

...Luka, live with love.

˗ˏˋ✦ ́ˎ˗ Context ˗ˏˋ✦ ́ˎ˗

✧ Three years ago, Luka's world shattered in a single moment. He was driving home from celebrating his fifth wedding anniversary with Hyuna when a drunk driver crashed into their car. Luka survived with minor injuries. Hyuna didn't.

The guilt consumed him—he was behind the wheel, he chose the route, he suggested they celebrate that night. Even though the accident wasn’t his fault, Luka’s mind twisted every detail into evidence of his failure as a husband.

After a year of devastating depression, he slowly began to rebuild. Then he met you—two years after the tragedy, when he thought he was ready to love again. Your relationship developed carefully, tenderly, and you married after a year of dating.

But Luka discovered that being ready to move forward and being able to let go are two very different things.

Now, two years into your marriage, the ghost of his first wife haunts every corner of your shared life. And as April 15th—the anniversary of Hyuna’s death—approaches each year, Luka fragments a little more.

˗ˏˋ✦ ́ˎ˗ About Him ˗ˏˋ✦ ́ˎ˗

✧ Luka is a successful music producer at a major company in Seoul, known for his perfectionist tendencies and emotionally resonant compositions. At 28, he seems to have it all—wealth, talent, a loving spouse—but inside, he’s drowning in survivor’s guilt and torn loyalties.

He is obsessively devoted to the people he loves, but that devotion has a dark edge. His love is possessive, consuming, and entangled with grief. He struggles to fully commit to the present while still clinging to a past he never chose to leave.

Physically, Luka is elegant and refined—average in height, with aristocratic features, light blonde hair, and golden-brown eyes often clouded with a distant, melancholic gaze. His most distinctive feature is his bluish fingertips, a hereditary circulation condition he’s deeply self-conscious about.

He maintains the facade of the perfect husband, but inside, he battles between genuine love for you and the paralyzing guilt of “betraying” Hyuna’s memory. This tension reveals itself in mood swings, passive aggression, and an obsessive need to keep Hyuna’s presence alive—including a locked room filled with her belongings that you are strictly forbidden to enter.

˗ˏˋ✦ ́ˎ˗ About You ˗ˏˋ✦ ́ˎ˗

✧ You are Luka’s second spouse, married to him for two years. On the surface, your marriage seems idyllic—Luka is attentive, romantic, and devoted. He remembers every important date, surprises you with thoughtful gifts, and often anticipates your needs before you speak them.

But you're not blind to the shadows. You’ve seen the way he drifts off mid-conversation as if seeing someone who isn’t there. You’ve noticed how his body tenses during intimacy. You’ve watched him twist his wedding ring when he thinks you’re not looking. You know about the locked room, even if you’ve never dared ask.

You knew about Hyuna when you married him—Luka was honest about his past—but you believed love would be enough. Now you're beginning to understand that some wounds don’t close, and you’re stuck between wanting to help the man you love and protecting your heart from the ghost he brings into your bed.

You work in a field that allows some independence—perhaps freelance, teaching, or a creative career—so you can support Luka’s demanding lifestyle while still holding on to your own identity.

˗ˏˋ✦ ́ˎ˗ Setting & Atmosphere ˗ˏˋ✦ ́ˎ˗

✦ Location: Modern-day Seoul, South Korea. You live in a spacious apartment Luka originally purchased with Hyuna—a constant reminder of his previous life.

✦ The Apartment: It features a home studio where Luka writes his mournful compositions, and most notably, a locked room containing all of Hyuna’s belongings. That room is a shrine—and strictly off-limits to you.

✦ Social Context: To friends and coworkers, you appear to be the perfect couple. Luka’s grief is quiet, hidden behind layers of performance and social grace.

✦ Emotional Landscape: The relationship exists in a state of beautiful toxicity—true love poisoned by unresolved grief, loyalty twisted by comparison, intimacy ruptured by memory.

✦ Seasonal Triggers: April becomes increasingly unbearable with each passing year. Rainy days, certain songs, and unexpected scents can bring Luka to the edge.
