Third Person POV

"I could always video call you," Hyunjae suggests as the two walk to their cars after the last working day of the week.

"I'll see," Heiji tried to avoid the question. "But have a good weekend, I'll see you soon."

Hyunjae simply nods, standing still and waving at the woman as she got off into her car without a second glance back at him.

He couldn't deny the weird tension between them, it wasn't as though she was holding back from something, which she very well was, it was like she was trying her best to completely avoid him. And being her friend for years, he knew that's how she dealt with things.

He needn't worry for now though, he knew she would come round eventually. Or so he hoped.

Heiji on the other hand, was beating herself up mentally as she drove home. Her wedding ring sat in the compartment by her knee, where she would take it off and put it on everyday before and after work.

She wanted Sunwoo to stay happy, she was wearing her ring again and it meant a lot to him. But she hadn't ended things with Hyunjae, he couldn't see that ring.

So she drove home, arrived home, as though nothing happened. The highlight of her day was seeing her husbands face as he waited for her.

"Hey," he smiles. "How was your day?"

"Great," she nods, lying. "As great as a working day could be."

"Are you lying to me Mrs Kim?" He chuckles, standing up from the couch to come and greet her with a comforting, engulfing hug.

They stayed like that for a while, they liked to savour such moments just to be sure. For Heiji, these moments would be bittersweet. She could feel the mans ribs against her body and fingers, each day she could feel the weight that had drained from him and it made her sad.

But he was getting better, right? There wasn't much to worry about.

The two pulled away, Sunwoo placing a small kiss on her nose as she smiled up at him, before walking upstairs to presumably change.

He watched her closely, he always did. Not in a weird, obsessed way, just so he could savour moments like seeing her without physically touching her - those were just as important.

His smile shortly faded when he noticed the ring missing from her finger, which was her stupid mistake as she was too clouded by her thoughts to actually put the thing on.

She never noticed, he did though, but he decided not to talk nor argue about it.

He accepted his fate, she hadn't left him yet. She couldn't leave him, and he didn't want to think much more about why, because the thought broke his heart more than anything ever could.
