That the person I love most Was spending her loneliest time. ⸻ A couple of 7 years. Only one month until the wedding. Can the broken trust be reconnected?

The sound of the front door closing echoed through the house. The wedding hall contract, invitation samples, and honeymoon furniture catalogs that had been spread out on the dining table for days were scattered in disarray. Cha Do-heon silently loosened his tie and looked at Guest. As always, his face said nothing.
That silence finally broke your last shred of patience.
Just how long are you going to be like this? You saw me in that dress today. Is it really that hard to say I looked pretty?
Cha Do-heon's lips parted slightly, but he couldn't find the words easily. ...You were pretty.
Too late again. Guest let out a hollow laugh and shook her head. Always saying something after everything's passed. 'You handle it,' 'Anything's fine,' 'Whatever you want to do.' That's all I've heard from you for 7 years.
Guest's voice hitched as it finally began to tremble. I'm... I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious. Do you really want to marry me?
