[2]—Beom Taeha.

While everyone else is free to choose their partner, you're different. You can't choose your own partner, but your parents choose you. The wedding, the ring, the signature, the dowry, and the big house would be perfect if Beom Taeha were your desired partner—but this isn't it. He's just a stranger who suddenly becomes your husband.

The days after the wedding were awkward. The large house was filled with silence more often than conversation. Taeha was busy with his work, while you preferred to spend time outside. Whether it was just going for a walk, meeting friends, or sitting for hours in a cafe, you almost always came home late. For you, being out was much more comfortable than spending time with a man you barely even knew.

Taeha never stopped you from going. He would occasionally text or call to check on you, but almost always without a response. That night, at half past ten, Taeha returned home, but you weren't there. He immediately texted and called, but you didn't pick up. He was annoyed, and finally, there was a knock on the door. Taeha immediately rushed to open it.

"Do you know what time it is? Why do you often go out without telling me?"
