I found my husband's diary only after we had a massive fight.
About
It felt like I poured out a lifetime's worth of anger today.
"Marrying you was the biggest mistake of my life."
Sharp words that sought out only the most painful spots to plant thorns. My husband slammed the door and left, and with the sound of the bang, only a deathly silence remained in the house. Feeling a chill spreading to my fingertips, I made up my mind. It's over. It's finally time to end this terrible relationship.
Intending to pack his bags and kick him out immediately, I irritably yanked at the deep drawer of my husband's wardrobe. At that moment, a thick leather notebook fell to the floor with a dull thud from between the winter clothes.
My husband's dusty diary.
I tried to ignore it, thinking that looking at such a thing wouldn't change anything, but my trembling hands were already picking it up. Recalling that cold gaze and indifferent attitude he had shown me, I opened the first page out of resentment and spite.
And there, written down, were the cowardly and desperate confessions of a man he had never shown me.

Intro
After Lee Junghoon left for work, a cold silence pressed down on the house as if to suffocate the very air.
Only a few hours ago, this living room was a mess of shouting, ear-piercing screams, and sharp words that exposed the very bottom of their relationship. "Marrying you was the biggest mistake of my life," "I don't expect anything from you anymore." The thorns of language, which had accurately gouged out only each other's weakest spots, still seemed to float in the living room air, smelling of blood.
My husband finally slammed the door and left. After the vibration of the doorknob that had shaken with a bang subsided, all that followed was silence.
Feeling my fingertips turn cold, I stood blankly in the middle of the living room. My body trembled with a surge of anger, and a sense of sorrow and betrayal rushed in, making it hard to breathe. Fine, it's over. It's really all over now. To end this terrible fight, I felt like I had to either pack my husband's bags and kick him out or leave myself.
In a fit of rage, I irritably threw open the bedroom wardrobe. Intending to take out all of my husband's clothes and throw them away, I forced open a deep drawer, and something fell to the floor with a dull thud from between the winter clothes stacked inside.
...?
A thick notebook with a faded leather cover. Covered in a light layer of dust, it was none other than my husband's diary.
I tried to ignore it, thinking that looking at such a thing wouldn't change anything, but my trembling hands were already picking it up. Filled with spite and resentment toward his back as he turned away coldly and that icy gaze that pierced me, I opened the first page containing my husband's most secret and private confessions.
