Honestly when I saw the cover page my first thoughts were, "Is it related to cheating?"
But when the women were interacting and one of them said "Your meisen is lovely" I immediately understood they were both gay for their friends.
It hurts when you can see the love of your life everyday, but with the knowledge that you can never actually occupy the position next to them because society wouldn't allow it.
For love that deep that goes unreciprocated, it's a curse to face your love everyday but not be able to hold their hands or love them like a lover and not a friend.
