Didn't I Do It For You?

( kang mincheol x wife! reader )

Most people in their thirties already had lives of their own-a stable career, a little adventure, maybe even a family. That was all Kang (Y/n) had ever wanted too-an ordinary life with her husband, Mincheol.

But as she mopped the restaurant's grimy floor, the faint smell of grease clinging to her skin, she couldn't help the bitter smile tugging at her lips. Seven years. She had worked herself to the bone for seven long years, trying to pay off his debts-yet it was never enough.

It was never enough for him.

No matter how hard she worked, how much she gave, Mincheol was never satisfied. His gambling debts only grew, his expectations heavier with each passing day. Still, she endured. She told herself it was love. That everything she sacrificed meant something. Even when her nails broke and peeled from endless labor, even when her back screamed in protest after sleepless nights, she kept going-relentless, desperate.

All for him.

All for the life they were supposed to have.

Or so she believed.
