As Saya changed the bed sheets, I sat in my wheelchair and looked out the glass window at the sky. The whole sky is covered with dark clouds laden with water drops and the rays of the evening sun are not shining through the clouds as usual.

It was hidden away in the dark clouds, as if it had been shining all day and needed a rest, indicating that it would rain in a moment.

"Saya?" I spoke Saya stopped mid-action and turned to me.

"Madam?"

"I want to go out." I said, I finally went out two days ago now. I'm tired of being inside these walls.

"But madam, it looks like it's going to rain in a little while." she said, taking in the view out the window.

"So?" I asked.

"If Master found out---   "

"He won't know unless you tell him."

"But---   "

"Saya" I said loudly, my voice was firm, Saya stopped and looked at me in surprise, I'm not usually someone who shouts like this, maybe that's why she was surprised. I sighed.

"Sorry, I really need to go out." I quietly said, looking out of the window, small raindrops are already falling from the heavy clouds to the ground.

"I'll leave these dirty sheets in the wash." She was about to leave the room but I called again.

"They can be done later, now take me out." There is urgency in my voice. She stopped and turned to me, sighing as she put the sheets down in the corner of the room and came to me.

She led me out the back door of the mansion, and I felt the cold wind shiver my whole body as we stopped at the open door.

"Madam are you sure? It's very cold outside." She asked hesitatingly, and I sighed.

"Get an umbrella." I said, I heard some noises behind me and Saya came with a big black umbrella. She slowly moved my chair out the door and we walked a few steps and stopped on the grass. The umbrella protects us both from the rain, and I hear the sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella surface.

"Saya, you go in." She hesitated.
"Go Saya" I said firmly this time, Saya went as the umbrella disappeared from above me.

I feel the cold drops of water hit my body, making my warm skin shiver. The rain suddenly became heavy, my hair and clothes were completely wet.The small hairs on both sides of the forehead are wet and stick to both sides of my cheek.

I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the headboard of the chair.

Drops of water caress my face, bringing me a strange sense of comfort and freshness. It's like nature knows my pains. Things that I keep in the depths of my heart without telling anyone. Dissolve it with water as she likes.

I took a deep breath through my parted, now wet lips.

I know that Saya is standing near the door and watching me.

I hope she doesn't see the warm tears falling from my eyes.

I wanted this.

No....

I needed this.

I needed to put it all out and I don't know how to do it other than through tears.

After all, that's why I decided to get wet in the rain.

Because no one can see when you cry in the rain.

I watched through the glass wall as my father and Mr. Lee sat on the sofa talking about business and sharing a glass of white wine.

A little further, my mother and Mrs. Lee are sitting on the dining table and are busy in some women's talk. I saw how my mother's eyes sparkled, it must be something related to fashion, otherwise she would not be so happy and interested.

It seems that my mother has already added Mrs. Lee to her circle of friends.
I did not know that Mrs. Lee had also come to Italy, I only found out after coming here.

"You look lost." I heard the usual feminine voice from my side. I turned to Miss Lee, she was looking at me.

Right. After dinner, our parents wanted to give us space to talk alone. So she and I came to the swing in the backyard. But really we only shared a few words. In fact, she is the one who talks the most, thanks to her talkative nature. I was just silent giving short answers to her questions. I really don't know what to talk about.

"It's nothing like that." I sighed and said, I can't tell her face that I want to go home. That's rude.

I laughed in my mind. I can only imagine what would have happened if she had met me in my twenties. Surely she could have already left for Korea from our first meeting, without even looking back at me.

But I am no longer that playful, immature boy. My wife is one of the reasons for that.

My wife...

She is the reason for many changes in my life. Especially good changes.

I have heard that behind every successful man there is a woman. But in my case, it changes to 'behind every good man there is a patient woman like my wife who understands him'.

"You're not happy, are you?" Her sudden question caught me off guard. I looked at her. There is a big distance between us, like sitting for another person, but the way she is looking at me, I feel like she is very close to me. It's like she can see my soul through my eyes. I gulp, quickly turning my face away.

"Why do you ask that?" I questioned.

"You look tired." She said...Right. I'm tired. What does she expect when I work all day till my ass off in the office and come straight back here, at least without taking a bath to wash away the fatigue? "I know you have a big problem on your mind. Is that your wife?"

Muscles in my jaw is ticking at her question. A sudden irritation ran through my whole body making my inside burn despite the coldness in the night air.

I scoffed, I don't care if it's rude or not, the look on her face shows that she's surprised by it.

"My wife is never a problem for me." I stated firmly. My problem is you. My parents' nonsense. I wanted to say that out loud too, but it would be too much.

"I'm sorry, i didn't mean   " She started but the sound of my phone ringing interrupted our conversation and I pulled it out of my pants.

It's my wife.

But I know that Saya is talking through her phone. I answered, holding the phone to my ear, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Miss Lee watching my actions.

But before I could say hello, I heard Saya's trembling voice, as if she was about to cry.

And with what she said, I felt like my world stopped.My heart started to race.I quickly got up from the swing as panic took over my whole body , making even Miss Lee flinch at my sudden action.

"I'll be right back, you stay with her." I told her, and hung up.

"Taehyung what happened?" I heard Miss Lee ask, but I didn't respond and instead slid the glass door and entered the house.

All eyes turned to me and Miss Lee following me. Their faces were surprised at our sudden arrival.

But before anyone could ask me anything, I took my coat from the sofa and strode out of the mansion.

"What happened?" I heard my mother asking Miss Lee. But I was too far to hear her response.

I know that tomorrow morning my father will throw a million questions in my face. But worrying about it at this time is the last thing on my mind.

The only one that matters to me now.









































My wife.
