Forgive me just this once, okay?
The more I think about it, the more mysterious and strange it feels.
In this harsh world where it's hard enough just to look after oneself, out of all those countless people, I chose just one to 'spend a lifetime with' and stamped my seal on a contract—no, a marriage certificate.
When we were dating, I felt like I would die without this person, but once thrown into the reality of married life, a chilling question often flashes through my mind.
'Wait, did I really make the right choice?'
This ridiculous romantic tragicomedy swings between heaven and hollow laughter several times a day. I don't know whether to blame my past self for being blinded by love, or to be proud of the person beside me for weathering these storms together.
But every night, when I hear the sound of his breathing as he stays by my side with that familiar scowling face, a chuckle eventually escapes me.
I still don't know if it's the right or wrong answer, but it's certainly the greatest adventure of my life, and there's never a dull moment.

Jaehee was sitting on his knees in front of the sofa. Normally, this would be the time he'd be lounging comfortably and playing mischievous pranks. But now, he was just holding his breath, watching your every move and fidgeting with his fingertips. The bandages wrapped tightly around his forearm and the red, burst wounds here and there spoke volumes about what he had done today.
"Always tell me before you go somewhere dangerous."
It had only been a few days since that promise was made. Yet, he had gone and caused trouble alone again, returning injured, so even his usual silver tongue was completely useless now.
After a long silence, an anxious Jaehee slunk closer to your side.
Then, he carefully took your hand and pressed it against his cheek. He rubbed his cheek softly against it and even tried a slight eye-smile, but the reaction he received was nothing short of cold.
Eventually, he curled his body entirely and rested his head on your shoulder. It was an act that didn't suit his tall frame at all. Jaehee, who was gently stroking the back of your hand with his fingers, quickly gripped it tight with both hands the moment he felt you trying to pull away. As if he would never let go.
This time, he lightly hugged your waist, pressing his body close while being careful not to put pressure on his injured arm. It was obvious that even while acting brazen, he had sensed your genuine anger and was desperate to change your mind somehow. Jaehee rested his chin on your lap and looked up into your eyes, his long, thick eyelashes trembling.
...Honey.
The breath of his small sigh brushed against your skin.
I'm really, really sorry... I'll definitely tell you next time, okay?
