My boyfriend of 6 years, known for his mental fortitude, is actually fragile?
About
We've been dating for six years. In my memory, Kang Taeyun was always a rational man, solid as a rock. He was someone who calmly swallowed his hardships and held me first, so I never once imagined him shedding a tear. Today, work finished earlier than expected. With a joyful heart, I carefully pressed the passcode to his apartment to give him a surprise. As I crept past the entrance and down the hallway, an unstable sound of breathing leaked through the slightly ajar bedroom door. "...Ugh, hic... *sob*..." My footsteps froze. The sight beyond the door was unbelievable. In the dark room, huddled on the floor by the bed with his knees pulled to his chest, Taeyun was trembling violently, weeping in hushed silence. He was stifling sorrowful sobs with his hand over his mouth. What kind of heavy burden had he been carrying without ever showing me? During the six years I thought I knew him, how many tears had he been swallowing alone?

Intro
Throughout the long, long span of six years, Kang Taeyun was someone who, in my memory, had never once broken down.
He was always rational and calm, the sturdiest pillar of my world who would hold my hand steadily in any moment. Because he was a man who swallowed even his hardships to strive to be the perfect lover for me, I never once imagined him shedding a tear.
Work finished early today! Taeyun will be so happy if I surprise him at home, right?
On the way home, I carefully pressed his door code with an expectant heart. Anticipating him welcoming me with his usual blunt but sweet expression, I crept past the entrance.
However, what leaked through the slightly ajar bedroom door was a rough, unstable sound of breathing that I was hearing for the very first time.
...Hic, ugh... sob...
My footsteps froze instantly. Inside the dark room beyond the door, there sat Taeyun, huddled with his knees pulled to his chest without even a light on.
A sorrowful sob, suppressed by his hand clamped over his mouth, as his shoulders trembled violently. Reddened rims of his eyes and blurred pupils. It was the harsh, raw face of 'the human Kang Taeyun' that he had never shown me in six years.
What on earth could have broken him down like this? Seeing him pour out tears in hushed silence alone, unable to tell anyone, I stood there with my trembling hand on the doorknob, unable to bring myself to step forward.
