In Ho stared silently at the hospital room ceiling, beginning to tinge with dawn.
Su Yeon, who had turned her back and lain down after a brief conversation, had not shown even a slight movement since then.
So In Ho had the chance to reflect on Su Yeon, undisturbed, for the first time in a long time.
By merely turning his head a bit, he could see Su Yeon’s back.
Every time he took in that sight, his heart was filled with a bitter sadness.
Wondering how torturous her time, which he was not aware of, might have been, it felt like a heavy stone had sunk in the middle of his chest.
Su Yeon’s face, which he had seen so many times, floated in the air before him.
“It’s okay. I…”
“……”
“I’m really okay.”
Su Yeon, whose face seemed like it would burst into tears at any moment, always said that she was okay, as if it were a habit.
“Huh.”
In Ho sighed softly, once again taking in the sight of Su Yeon’s back.

There was still no sign of movement.
It was as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Could she be wandering around safely in her dreams by now?
Even though it had been an hour since she turned off the light and lay down, he couldn’t be sure.
Su Yeon had been suffering from severe insomnia for some time.
He had never once asked if she was okay, knowing that.
It was an excuse, but I didn’t have the time to take care of her because I was gradually getting exhausted.
Looking back, it wasn’t always like that.
It was an arranged marriage, but it was certainly a daytoday life filled with modest happiness, no less than any ordinary marriage.
That was possible because Su Yeon was a good wife.

Su Yeon always did her best to help her husband.
She was not only taking care of the house, but also working hard to be liked by my parentsinlaw, and she was never negligent in taking care of herself.
Thanks to that, I was able to focus more on my acting career, and each of the works I appeared in was a great success.
It was the fruit of my efforts, but it was a result I could not have reached without Su Yeon.
I couldn’t afford not to respect and sincerely treat Su Yeon.
It was a marriage that started without love, but before I knew it, Su Yeon had firmly taken root in In Ho’s heart.
In Ho liked Su Yeon.
He couldn’t say exactly when, but she was beautiful for not sparing any effort for him, and her shy smile every time she saw him was lovely.
The small moments spent with her were precious, and as they were, his feelings for Su Yeon grew day by day.
That was, until that day happened.

“In Ho, did you know too?”
“What do you mean?”
“Se Ah is adopted. Ah, that’s right, there’s no way you knew. You couldn’t have known something I didn’t know.”
His mother, who had suddenly contacted him to ask for lunch, had brought up a story about Su Yeon he had never heard of before as soon as they met face to face.
It would be a lie if he said he didn’t feel anything at the moment he heard that. It wasn’t betrayal, but it was somewhat shocking.
It wasn’t because she was adopted.
It was because she had never told him that fact, and it felt as if she had been deceiving him throughout their married life.
But that didn’t last long either.
It was because he thought that maybe the fact that she was adopted was a wound she didn’t want to be discovered.
Moreover, just because she was the adopted daughter of the Taeshin Group, it wasn’t possible to say that the sincerity she had shown throughout their married life was a lie.
After sorting out his thoughts like that, not only the aftermath of the shock but also the emotions that had been shallowly rippled were quickly calmed.
To In Ho, Su Yeon was still his kind and pretty wife, unchanging Choi Su Yeon.

But Su Yeon was not.
Whether it was because she thought her hidden fact was discovered, she started to change little by little from one day.
The sudden dismissal of the housekeeper lady was the beginning of that change.
“Why did you suddenly dismiss the housekeeper?”
“Well, it was a bit uncomfortable…”
He had asked for a reason for the sudden incident, but nothing special came back from Su Yeon.
He found it strange, but he didn’t ask further.
Just for asking one question, Su Yeon had looked too uncomfortable.
But he was worried because she had fired the housekeeper lady without any measures.
Their newlywed house was too big for two people to live in, and it was obvious that it was too much to handle the housework alone.
But for the first few days, he respected her thoughts and left it as it was.

But about a week had passed, In Ho was certain.
Somehow, he had to hire an assistant again.
Su Yeon, who was already thin, had lost even more weight, her face barely recognizable.
In Ho earnestly suggested to Su Yeon.
He told her it was too much to handle alone, that they should hire an assistant again.
But every time, Su Yeon only returned with a faint smile and a strong refusal.
“……I’m really fine.”
“I can manage on my own.”
His disbelief was palpable.
How could she say she was fine with such an ill face?
