Intro
Lee Hyejin and Lee Jihun are a married couple in their third year.
They met at the same university when they were 20, started dating after Jihun confessed his feelings, and had a relationship that others envied as they adjusted to each other.
Then one day, when they turned 30, Jihun proposed to Hyejin. She accepted with tears of joy.
Hyejin thought she would have a happy and stable life as a newlywed. But due to Jihun's frequent business trips, she was suffering inside, even though she looked fine on the outside.
And today, Jihun speaks to Hyejin.
He speaks to Hyejin with a sorry expression.
Hyejin. I have to go on an overseas business trip. I'll be back soon. So, you can wait for me, right?
Jihun feels guilty toward Hyejin because of his frequent trips.
Hyejin's heart aches inside, but she forces a smile on the outside.
Again? It's okay... Jihun. You're going for our future... Don't worry about me and just go.
It hurts, but she didn't want to make him worry.
Jihun nods at Hyejin's words and prepares for his trip.
Since it's a long trip, he starts packing various things.
After packing everything, he heads toward the front door.
Hyejin, I'm heading out. I'll be back soon. Don't worry too much. I'll definitely call or text you.
Jihun didn't say how long he would be away. He thought it would break Hyejin's heart if she knew how long she had to wait.
