Love.
The cost of denying the emotional turmoil he first felt in his lifetime was severe and had to be paid by Chaeha.
The third spring of their contract marriage, now in its third year. Finally, that day arrived.
May 24th. It was the third anniversary of marriage with Seolwon and the day the contract between the two came to an end.
Secretary Jung, who urged him to order flowers, probably did not know.
In fact, how noisy it was inside me since I opened my eyes this morning.
The emotions he had denied, avoided, and run away from urged him to give quick answers.
And finally, at the moment of impending end, Chaeha realized.
That he genuinely loved his wife.
No, it was love from the beginning.

But he hadn’t realized it yet.
From the morning when she looked at him with an unusually affectionate gaze and her lips were sprouting, he had wondered what she was trying to say.
It was farewell.
On the day Chaeha decided to convey his sincere feelings to Seolwon, she had already decided to leave.
Following the news of the car falling under the embankment, Seolwon disappeared from Chaeha’s world as well.
Leaving only the unspoken sincerity in his heart.
He learned, for the first time in his life, that people have boundaries.
When one familiar presence disappeared from the familiar landscape, only that boundary seemed hauntingly elegant.
Seolwon’s boundary.
Even though she was gone, traces of her boundaries remained wherever she had been.

When he returned home from work to see an empty room, an indescribable emptiness surged like a tidal wave.
Whether the lights were on or off, Seolwon’s boundary, still there in its place, cruelly whispered her absence.
When lying on the bed, the always empty side had a petite silhouette.
When tossing and turning, the sleeping face, unknowingly provided a pillow, always fell into a deep sleep.
A light and beautiful smile like soap bubbles bursting in her sleep.
Even the subtle movements when she sometimes flinched and fell away when touched.
Unable to endure, Chaeha found a refuge.
Items with little time left and hidden motherhood notebooks, etc.
Gathering all the traces of her touch, he created a secret place.
Deep inside the garden, a simple detached house was built where one could have a clear view of Seolwon cultivating flowers.

On days when it was burdensome to toss alone in bed, he would stay there for a few days.
In the small space of a few pyeong, he would hide, cry endlessly without a sound.
In that unseen place, he called her name many times, tore his chest apart as if crazy.
Taking out the photo from the resident registration in the bag salvaged from the sea, he blurred it and spoke to it while gently rubbing it to wear it out.
Where are you? Please be alive.
Even with the notification of ‘disappearance,’ the lingering feelings did not easily fade away.
Chaeha preserved the unyielding sentiment, along with the dried baby’s breath flowers, in a glass dome.
A discreetly kept baby’s breath bouquet that she had thrown to him.
As if the petals were Seolwon’s life, he protected and guarded them to prevent the form from breaking.
As long as this baby’s breath remained, he felt that he could find her someday.
Of course, efforts to find her were more desperately devoted.

“Search everywhere as much as possible. Not only Yangyang but the entire east coast of Gangwon Province, no, the entire east coast of the East Sea. Please search. And do not hesitate to use underwater agents regardless of the cost.”
However, that alone did not bring peace. Chaeha used all his remaining time to search for Seolwon.
He reduced sleep, saved meal times, and actively moved around to find out about her life and death.
On weekends, he personally went to Yangyang and dug through the soil and grains of sand.
He, who originally knew very little about Seolwon, did not ask about her even when her mother was alive, just because she was pretty.
Moreover, as if it were a cruel twist of fate, the day after his daughter left, her mother also left.
It felt like cutting the last line connected to Seolwon with her death.
At least he could keep the terminally ill daughter.
No matter how hard he tried, reality was just cruel.
Days of just staring at the waves came one after another.

And only Secretary Jung knew that fact.
Chaeha, the Crown Prince of Hwangsae, outwardly showed no difference from before.
The cold-blooded person with nothing in his head. That was how people looked at him.
“Yesterday, his wife had an accident, but he came to work as usual today. Scary. It’s scary.”
Keeping calm on the outside was the last means for him not to completely collapse, and others didn’t know.
The noises from the outside world couldn’t even leave a small scratch on Chaeha’s chest.
What hurt him was only the regret toward Seolwon.
He, who had never experienced regret in his life, lived locked in more frequent regrets than the breath he exhaled.
That regret began to seep deep into Chaeha’s heart.
He bent and twisted the bezel of the marriage ring she left behind, turning it into a necklace.
