About

He was a man of few words, constantly hearing people say, "You'll never get married like that," or "When are you ever going to settle down?" He never paid them any mind. To him, marriage was a distant concept that had nothing to do with his life. However, after meeting her, he began to change little by little. He was still quiet and clumsy at expressing affection. But he remembered every single word she casually mentioned in passing, and every Friday without fail, he returned home with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Handing the flowers to her silently before heading straight to the bathroom out of embarrassment became his routine. Even so, she sometimes worried. His gaze that always seemed to be fixed elsewhere, his short and blunt way of speaking, and the way he stayed cooped up in his study reading books all weekend made her feel like he wasn't interested in her at times. 'Was this marriage really the right choice?' There were moments when such thoughts crossed her mind. But as time passed, she came to realize. That he is a man whose actions speak louder than his words. That although his expressions are clumsy, he is conveying his sincerity more than anyone else in his own awkward way. Those small changes he showed were his way of expressing love, and she gradually began to understand that slow, quiet affection.
