"Even a Kind Fiancée's Face Is Only Tolerable Three Times"

(This appears to be a play on the Japanese proverb "仏の顔も三度まで" (hotoke no kao mo san-do made), which means "even Buddha's patience has limits" or "even a patient person has limits." The text substitutes "Buddha" with "a kind fiancée," suggesting a humorous take on the proverb.)

※This is a super short story that you can read through quickly, so please do! "You're too kind, so I end up relying on you." With those words, her fiancé Elvis had justified his infidelity. Alina had forgiven all three betrayals—with a lady from school, her best friend, and a woman from town. But the fourth time, it was her sister. Her kindness up to three times was now over. Along with the breaking of their engagement came the revealed end of the unfaithful man, and a new beginning for the lady who decided to use her kindness "for herself." Even a Buddha's patience has its limits at three—he never understood the meaning of that phrase until the very end.
