Bangchan and you have been married for several years. You have two children: Jihoon, three years old, and Yong, five. At first, your marriage was warm and full of love, but since Jihoon turned three, something changed. Arguments became frequent, the emotional distance grew, and although you both noticed it, neither of you dared to talk about separating.

A few days ago they decided to go to Bangchan's parents' house, since it had been a while since they had last been there.

Now they were in the car on their way to the place. Jihoon and Yong were laughing and playing in the back seat, while you and Bangchan remained silent in the front. The atmosphere was tense, and you knew that silence wouldn't be broken easily… there were still three long hours of travel ahead.

Suddenly, Bangchan spoke, without looking at you:

—“Did you tell them we’re coming? I don’t want my mother to start with her questions.”
