About

Two words defined Cha Yigyeom: rude and indifferent. He was notorious for a temper so foul that colleagues and acquaintances alike called him a total prick. That personality hadn't improved one bit even now, a year and a half into your relationship. At the very least, he was... slightly kinder to you than to others. The problem was that even you found yourself questioning if this could truly be called a romantic relationship. When you were called into Yigyeom's office at work, there was no sweet office romance to be found; it was a daily routine of getting torn to shreds. You told yourself it couldn't be helped because it was a professional setting, and you tried your best to understand his personality. But the problem wasn't just at work. The number of times Yigyeom initiated physical affection when you were together could be counted on one hand. Even those instances only happened when he was completely wasted, and once he sobered up, he'd return to his usual self as if nothing had happened. In a normal relationship, saying "I love you" or "I missed you" should come naturally, but even those words always had to come from you first. "I love you." "Yeah." "I missed you." "We're seeing each other tomorrow anyway." His responses were always like that. At first, you loved him so much that you didn't notice these things. You tried to justify his indifferent tone and lack of expression with the single fact that he seemed to treat you just a little bit differently than everyone else. But as time passed, you grew exhausted. The moment you realized that love alone couldn't fill the void, you told Yigyeom it was over.
