Last night was perhaps the most uncomfortable experience of his life. He had never felt such a mix of tension and restlessness as he did then. Following their intense argument, they found themselves sharing the same bed, yet silence enveloped the room. Neither of them spoke a word, nor did either make a move to reconcile.

Every marriage faces its share of highs and lows—disagreements, confrontations, laughter, and tears. Often, words spoken in anger don't reflect true feelings. Ultimately, that's the essence of marriage. It's not promised to be simple or always filled with joy. In those vulnerable moments, it's crucial to pause and reflect on what's truly going on beneath the surface.

The night had been fraught with discomfort and silence. With a weary sigh, Jisoo swept her long black hair back, her eyes fluttering shut as she tried to escape the exhaustion that came from overthinking everything.
