« Hye-Kyo, do you see how bad the apartment is! LOOK AROUND YOU ! Looks like someone tried to rob everything, there's stuff everywhere. I almost stepped on broken glass when I entered the living room! And what is it ? Another pregnancy test? I thought we took stock of the kids. You must be better before-

– I'm better ! Do you think I'm not making an effort? Do you think it's easy for me to be in this situation? Do you think I want to be like this? Yes that's right, I got a little angry but nothing more.

– A little.... A LITTLE! KYO, YOUR HAND IS BLEEDING! We won't be able to continue like this, you have to pull yourself together. You are stressed, besides you are working a lot at the moment, these are clearly not the ideal conditions for you to get pregnant.

– I have to pull myself together. I'm not the only one in this. We're two, just to remind you.

– Don't even start! You don't want my help! I want to help you, I'm here for you but if you reject my help, don't blame me! DO YOU THINK I LIKE TO SEE YOU LIKE THAT? Kyo, you need help if it's not with me, there is no problem I already told you but you have to stop wanting to get pregnant at least until you get better.

– You want me to see a shrink, do you think I'm this unwell... You know what, you don't even want a child! I AM SURE YOU ARE HAPPY THAT I DIDN'T GET PREGNANT! I can see you going to spend some time at the orphanage. All day with children, but not having a child of your own, that's too much to ask. Is it because of me? Is that it? ANSWER ME !

– How can you say such things? You know what, it's true I never wanted to. This is what you want to hear! I DON'T WANT A CHILD! But you know that from the start, I never hid it from you and-

– Either way, no child would want a father like you.

– Excuse me ? Do you realize what you are saying! I think it's better to stop there. I don't want to do things that I will regret later. Treat your hand before it gets infected. »

Arguments between Ji Wook and his wife are more and more frequent, but this is the first time he's seen her like this. She had never lost control so much. A part of him saw it coming, lately, she is getting worse and worse but acts as if nothing had happened. Ji Wook is not blind, despite everything, they have been living together for years now, he knows when his wife is not well. He thought it was going to get better but clearly he was wrong.

Having ended the argument abruptly, Ji Wook took nothing with him. He decides to go back to his office, he still has the necessities and a change that stays there in case he has to stay there overnight. He has had to sleep in his office a few times during complex cases. When he arrives, the cabinet is empty, everyone has already left, on Friday evenings, they try to finish a little earlier to have a long weekend. He's happy to be alone, it allows him to think about the situation, having no idea how to deal with it.

The following day, Ji Wook is confused. He's not sure what to think about what happened yesterday, he also knows he will have to talk to his wife about it.. He decides not to go home now, if they have to argue a second time, he would like it not to be at 8am. He prefers to take the day to think things through rather than to act spontaneously. He would like to know first how he wants to approach things. After deciding on his plan of attack, he makes himself some coffee, thanking Hyung Sik for insisting that this be one of the first things to be done.

«Ji Hyung? What are you doing here so early? Hyung told me you don't have any cases yet.

– Yohan ? replied Ji Wook, more than surprised to see someone at the office. His surprise was such that he dropped his coffee lightly on the floor. I could ask you the same question, don't you even work here?
