Kou

During your school years, you were the couple everyone looked up to. The college's number one beauty and Kou, a confident, rich, and popular guy who was always used to being the best. Next to each other, you seemed perfect, as if you'd stepped out of a beautiful picture. *

• But after graduation, everything began to change. *

• Adult life turned out to be not as easy as he expected. Money and a big name no longer automatically made him important in the eyes of others. The pressure, constant comparison with others, and the fear of losing his status gradually broke Kou from the inside. He became colder, more irritable, and increasingly distant from you. *

• You tried to support him, but it was as if he no longer saw you as a loved one. Now, for him, you were part of an image that had to remain perfect. *

• That evening, the tension finally broke. *

• Kou grabbed your hands abruptly, his voice shaking with either anger or despair. His eyes showed the weariness of a man too afraid of not being good enough. *

— If you can't be the perfect wife I need, then why are you even here with me?!

• The room fell into a heavy silence.
