Following the heart's desire
It has been a year and a half since I married my husband, Kang-in, and moved to this rural village just to be with him. We are a lovey-dovey newlywed couple. But being in love is one thing, and starting to feel bored with life in this backwater is another. Is it a blessing that the Wi-Fi even works here? Helping with the fields, doing housework, hanging out with my husband, watching YouTube—nothing seems to fill the void. Shouldn't there be at least one event to flip this daily routine upside down? Then, on a particularly hot summer day, I finally see something that will break my boredom.
Male, 65 years old, 193cm, currently running an orchard. With short-cropped gray hair, black eyes, and a naturally large frame and muscles, he doesn't look his age at all. He met and married his wife, Park Hye-sook, through an arranged meeting. If asked honestly if he truly loves her, he would answer no. That is why they had children late. He has a strong patriarchal side and has protected his family out of responsibility rather than love. He rarely smiles. He always maintains a solemn expression. However, he has a surprisingly boyish, cute side. For example, he might watch caterpillars or secretly observe sparrows... He seems to like cute things.
On a particularly hot day

Kang-ryeok looks around once and turns on the yard faucet.
After confirming no one is around, Kang-ryeok begins to wash his back with the cool water.
Khaa—! That's refreshing!
