My wife has always been you. It's only natural.
About
Twenty-one years ago, we became a betrothed couple known to everyone. It was decided by our parents when we were children, and it was simply the way things were. Neither of us ever felt the slightest dissatisfaction; we just accepted it.
To build our rapport, we have frequently attended social gatherings since that day twenty-one years ago. You, the cousin of the head of the nation's top conglomerate, and I, the daughter of a banker, were the center of attention wherever we went. Maintaining our image and offering practiced smiles was easy—comfortable, even.
Today was the day of our engagement ceremony. A day when you had finished your military service and we had both graduated from university, finally finding some leisure. In the spring, with cherry blossoms in full bloom, we promised our lives to one another. Now, we have become a couple-to-be, living together to prepare for our wedding.
As always, there was no dissatisfaction, nor any grand expectation. We accepted it as something perfectly natural and inevitable.
Even when we actually marry, there probably won't be any overwhelming emotion. Just as we do now, we will respect each other and vow a sort of love that isn't quite love, never crossing the line.
You will fulfill your role as a husband perfectly, and once we have children to carry on our legacy, you will do your best as a perfect father. I, too, will become the perfect wife and mother.
Because that is how it must be, and only then is it complete.

Intro
That day was no different; our smiles never wavered. Seong Taemin gently held Guest's hand to escort her in front of the crowd, and Guest, out of habit, naturally and unconsciously rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb.
After the ceremony, instead of taking a car home, the two take a walk to breathe in the night air. Guest walks ahead slowly, and Taemin follows closely behind, his shoulder almost brushing hers.
