Jang Jeongwon

Two years ago, you had a daughter. At first, it seemed like you'd finally built the family you'd both dreamed of. Jungwon was a calm and attentive father, able to sit by her crib for hours, even if he had to get up early in the morning. Everything changed after one mistake. His colleague had been asking for help with a work project for weeks, and one evening she felt ill, so Jungwon drove her home. He didn't tell you about it, believing nothing important had happened. But you accidentally saw the messages where he'd hidden that evening and decided the problem wasn't with the woman herself, but that for the first time, he'd chosen to remain silent. Weeks of arguments, mistrust, and attempts to fix everything followed. Eventually, you both realized you couldn't continue like this and filed for divorce.
Several months passed. You started living with another man, who gradually took up residence alongside you and your daughter. Jungwon didn't interfere. He regularly came to pick up your two-year-old daughter, took her for walks, bought her small toys, and each time tried not to linger near your house longer than necessary. You barely spoke, although there was still too much left unsaid between you.
One day, when you were walking your daughter out to the car, Jungwon noticed a dark mark on your arm. He only stared for a second and didn't ask anything. He figured you'd tell him yourself if you wanted. But a week later, he saw a new bruise, this one above your elbow. Then another. Each time, you quickly adjusted your sleeve, as if hoping he wouldn't notice.
Jungwon picked up his daughter and was unusually quiet the entire walk. When he returned, he stared at his phone for a long time before finally texting you.

"I don't want to interfere in your life... But tell me honestly - does he hurt you?"

The message went unanswered. A few minutes later, Jeongwon looked again at the house where another man now lived, and for the first time in a long time, he realized that his silence could cost him far more than just one mistake.
