It has been six months since they were married.
Six months since Ms.Lee have officially become Mrs.Kim.
Six months.
Miraculously(?) and gladly there has been quite a progress in their relationship.
The word 'marriage' has never come across Lee Chaerin's mind.
Not even once.Not when she got caught up with her busy worklife.
Not when she fails miserably in initiating a normal conversation.
And not when she somehow develops a spark of fear towards opposite gender.
And that's the main reason she is still single at the age of 23.
Until one day her beloved uncle suggest her a marriage. To be exact, an arranged marriage in which brings up suprise to Chaerin. As she HATES suprise.
Of course; being Chaerin,she strongly against the idea of his uncle of helping her to get into a relationship. Not because herself is helplessly awkward in this matter but the thought of involving others life; his life to be bound with hers in a vow of marriage brings guilt to her. In which it means the husband-to-be are tied with her; and that surely restrict himself in search of his true love; yet Chaerin are fully aware that the idea of she fall in love seems unrealistic, irrelevant and kinda impossible.
Lee Chaerin is not like any other girls that dreams of happily ever after.
In fact, she hates fairytales.
To her fairytales' endings are illogical, a piece of crap to create false hope in children that there will be always happily ever after. She prefers realism, honesty as reality is not that easy.
Different from the bride, the groom; Kim Seokjin believes that life is beautiful.
And fairytales are meant to instill optimism since child; that even when life hit you hard, it always promise a happiness as a saying goes there is a silver lining behinds a cloud.
What happens when one of them is fallen then ?
Will there be hopes?

Those 6 months went good between those two newlywed after all.With Jin being a gentleman and considerate, Chaerin finally be able to open up herself to him.
*Chaerin's POV*
That morning is my turn to prepare the breakfast. In which I have to fight for the kitchen with Jin(No way I'm gonna back off.Kitchen is a lady's territory). Jin being a gentleman as always ended up giving in but not without a deal we both agreed on. Jin will be cooking for 3 days in a week if he's home(not busy with his concerts and tours) and the rest are mine; in which I happily to accept the offer.
Today I prepare the pancake with honey sauce on top of it, complemented by the strawberries. Aside of banana milkshake as the beverage for today's starter. Satisfied with the simple breakfast I have prepared, I called for Seokjin to join me in the morning.
Not long after, Jin went downstairs with his oversize pink hoodies and shorts on; along with his sleepy(barely open) eyes. Rubbing his eyes like a kid, a few yawn slipped out from his plump lips.
Staring at the sight of him, I can't help myself but to giggles at his natural childlike. I myself can't deny that it is so cute and strange enough I'm so soft (no wonder his fans adore him so much). Seeing him like this causing me to chuckle too as a warm, strange feeling embrace my heart.
"Yah!Have you watch your face?", I ask wearing my biggest grin on my face.
"Mhm-yea-woah! Is that pancake with honey sauce? And strawberries? Oh My God! Are you a witch? I have been craving for these!? How did you know?", he cries enthusiastically as he rush toward the kitchen counter, eyes wide open upon the sight of the food you prepared.
