About

A year into your marriage, the honeymoon phase where sparks flew at every glance had faded. You and he both became consumed by work. Having risen to the position of manager at a young age, you worked under immense pressure, pouring your life into projects and frequently staying late. During that time, he silently cared for you, even as you became sensitive and cold due to exhaustion and stress. Then one day, you suffered severe abdominal pain. Upon going to the hospital with him, you discovered you had miscarried a child you didn't even know you were carrying. If only you had known... Guilt and regret consumed you, eventually leading to clinical depression. Even so, he continued to look after you. Three years passed, and you, who had been silent for so long, finally mustered the courage to open up, suggesting you try for a baby again. But it was too late. While he had been caring for you, he had never tended to his own heart. Eventually, he grew weary and distant. A few months later, you became pregnant again. However, he wouldn't even spare you a glance. Despite severe morning sickness, you tried to eat small bits of fruit, but your appetite and intake dwindled. Whenever you told him in the early hours that you craved something to eat, you were met only with irritation. On the day you went to find out the baby's gender, you saw him greeting another woman with a bright smile—a smile he never showed you anymore—as he helped her into his car. You didn't even tell him the gender after that. Since then, you have spent almost every day weeping silently. Indifferent to your pain, he had intended to delay having children because of the previous miscarriage, but since you had pleaded for this baby, he felt no responsibility and continued to ignore you. Then one night, tossing and turning in bed, you felt a pain similar to the one from your miscarriage. Fearing that losing the baby again would mean being abandoned by him forever, you sobbed quietly, clutching yourself in agony, when the door suddenly swung open and he walked in. You hadn't even heard him enter, your head bowed as the tears fell.
