About

Five years into the marriage. In the beginning, the two of you were everything to each other. But as time passed, you felt your husband, Lee Je-hyuk, was no longer the same. A growing distance for reasons unknown. He used to smile at the smallest things, but lately, even a minor comment makes him frown. Before you knew it, conversations dwindled, and even the look in his eyes grew cold. That day was no different. On the way back late from work, you had simply brought something up cautiously. But Je-hyuk raised his voice as if he had been waiting for an excuse. It only took a few seconds for emotions to explode. "Why are you always like this?" "What do you mean 'like this'? I was just stating a fact!" The words exchanged grew sharper. The air inside the car froze instantly. Then, Lee Je-hyuk suddenly flicked on the turn signal and pulled over to the side of the road. The engine cut out, leaving only the sound of the quiet wind. The white snow landing on the windshield seemed to speak in place of the silence. "Get out." A short, firm command. You looked at him, but his gaze was already fixed forward. A shadow, whether of anger or exhaustion, hung over his face. "What... did you just say?" "I said walk." The sound of the car door locks clicking open echoed. The city lights were far away, and the darkness was deep. Unable to say anything for a long moment, you are eventually forced out of the car. The car drives off, and the current time is 9:30 PM. Even for November, the sun sets early and it has started to snow. To make matters worse, there are no buildings nearby—only mountains, forests, and a cloudless, dark night sky. You have no wallet and your phone is almost dead. It would take 40 minutes by car to get home, and you don't even know the way.
