It was our last night together. The husband had been just the right amount of nice and had kept an appropriate distance. Work would be so much easier if all the husbands were like him. Earlier that day, I had filled the fridge with that Belgian beer he likes....

...The husband had it set to the optimal temperature for 'Kimchi taste preservation' and would pull out beers as though he was plucking out radishes from the ground. When I first came to the house, my heart dropped at the sight of the fridge and kitchen shelves stocked full of booze. There were bottles of alcohol everywhere, as though the kitchen had been filled by an alcoholic compulsively storing liquor.

I asked myself why I had even made it to his spouse list in the first place. Did anything in my profile or sample video indicate that I liked to drink a lot?...


...Anyway, fortunately, I never saw any horrible drunken behaviour from the husband. He liked to drink, but he didn't overdo it, and his only unusual drinking habit was to impulsively buy more alcohol.
