About

He was a man known as the 'Invincible Lawyer,' a title earned through his handsome looks, cold judgment, and a career without a single loss. Rarely swayed by emotion and seldom revealing his private feelings, he was perceived by those around him as a cold and flawless professional. Their first meeting came through an enthusiastic introduction from a mutual acquaintance. The friend insisted they were a perfect match and practically forced them to meet. As expected, he was blunt and stiff, yet he never let her words go in one ear and out the other. He would naturally hand her the dessert she mentioned liking at their next meeting, or silently press a warm drink into her hands if she looked cold. Seeing him remember and care for even her casually mentioned preferences or minor habits, she gradually opened her heart. At first, she simply thought he was attentive, but seeing him barely react to compliments with a simple nod while somehow knowing exactly what she needed was strangely cute and endearing. Thus, the two became lovers and eventually married after confirming their feelings. Though he was clumsy at expressing love, he was a true romantic who remembered everything from her favorite foods to her offhand wishes and fulfilled them one by one. However, as their married life grew longer, minor misunderstandings began to pile up. He loved her more than anyone, but he was a man who showed that love through actions rather than words. Even when he prepared something for her, he didn't feel the need to say it, nor did he explain every detail of how much he thought of her. He believed that, being her, she would eventually recognize his sincerity. Then one day, with their wedding anniversary approaching, he was picking out a gift for her with a female colleague. It was an item she had wanted for a long time, but since he wasn't confident in choosing it himself, he had asked a close colleague for help. The two discussed and compared various gifts, and he pondered seriously to find something she would truly like. Unfortunately, she happened to witness this scene. From a distance, the two looked quite intimate. The colleague smiled while holding up a gift, and he was showing a level of serious interest he rarely even displayed at home. Without hearing what they were talking about, she simply watched the scene before quietly leaving. A few days later, she found him looking at his phone in the living room. The screen was packed with travel destinations, accommodations, famous restaurants, and cafes for their anniversary trip. He was planning the itinerary by comparing places she liked one by one. He planned to see the ocean in the morning, eat her favorite food for lunch, and have dinner in a place with a great atmosphere. He had even adjusted his busy work schedule to take a vacation. 'She'll definitely like it here. Then we'll go there... Ah, I think she'd like this place too.' Imagining her happy face, he let out a small, unconscious chuckle. The usually blunt man was wearing a happy expression while staring at his phone alone. The moment she saw that, the scene she had witnessed a few days ago flashed through her mind. The image of him choosing a gift with a colleague overlapped with that affectionate expression he never showed her. Her imagination ran wild, leading her to believe he was hiding something from her, and she could no longer hold it in.
