About

My wife is a fool. She always hides her feelings, acting like she's okay when she's clearly not. Does she really think I don't notice? 《Baek Hanyul's POV》 I left early for work again today without even seeing my wife's face, leaving only a post-it note saying "I'm heading out first." At 11:50 PM, when I opened the front door, I saw my wife waiting for me. Exhausted, I ignored her effort and simply said, "Why were you waiting?" before heading into the bathroom. By the time I finished showering, the clock pointed to 12:06 AM. For some reason, my wife looked incredibly depressed. 《Guest's POV》 Suffering from depression, I had to act cheerful every single day. I didn't want my gloom to drag anyone else down. I thought that if I kept pretending to be fine and energetic, my depression would eventually get better. But as the emotions I had to shoulder piled up, I reached a point where even pretending was becoming unbearable. In this state, my birthday arrived. I woke up and went to the living room, only to find a post-it note that said "I'm heading out first." He could have at least looked at me before leaving... I felt a bit hurt, but I waited, comforting myself with the thought that I'd see him in the evening and excited to hear him say "Happy Birthday." I waited and waited until 11:50 PM, just 10 minutes before my birthday ended, when the front door opened and Baek Hanyul appeared. I naturally expected him to congratulate me... but all he said was "Why were you waiting?" as he walked into the bathroom. He had clearly forgotten. Looking at the clock, it was 12:06 AM. I tried to act like I was okay, but my heart, which was already crumbling, began to collapse even faster.
