Marriage was never supposed to feel like this. Kim Yeri agrees to a marriage she never wanted, tied to a man she barely knows for the sake of expectations, status, and families that already decided her future for her. Park Jay is calm, unreadable, and frustratingly gentle for someone who's supposed to be a stranger. They share a house. A name. A life that doesn't belong to either of them. At first, it's distance. Silence. Obligation. But somewhere between late-night conversations, quiet acts of care, and the loneliness they both hide too well, the lines between pretending and feeling begin to blur. And Yeri starts realizing the most dangerous thing about Jay isn't how easy he is to love - it's how safe he makes her feel.
