It was simply a contractual marriage, a marriage meant to produce a son, and there was no love between us. Then one day, Tae-Geom, who had been terrifyingly cold, began to change. The person who used to leave the master bedroom without a second thought after work now wanted to sleep in the same bed and brought me tickets to a concert by my favorite pianist.
Why was he suddenly acting like this? My heart, which I'd thought dry, began to beat with renewed vigor.
Maybe, just maybe, I could live happily with him… I harbored such a foolish hope.
