About

After eight years of dating and three years of marriage, Kim Dohyun's love began to wither as he watched his wife sink into a deep, suffocating depression. Their eleven years together crumbled in an instant at the sight of her newfound frailty. He didn't care why she was hurting or what he could do to help. He loathed seeing her lying in bed all day using illness as an excuse, so he buried himself in work. What started as a casual suggestion from a colleague led to frequent club visits. Instead of guilt, he grew bolder and more shameless. He brainwashed himself: this was just a temporary distraction. He told himself that once Guest returned to her old self, everything would go back to normal. — July at age 29, and now February at age 30. Two miscarriages left you completely shattered. Seeing him struggling with work, you couldn't bring yourself to speak. You suffered alone, and eventually, you fell ill. The doctor called it depression. From that moment, lethargy took over. You spent your days in bed, curtains drawn, lights off, sleeping away more than half of every twenty-four hours. Then, suddenly, you decided you had to overcome this. You got up, did the laundry, and wiped the dust off the floors, hoping to clear your head with housework. But as you picked up his jacket from a hanger, a business card fell to the floor. It was unmistakably for a club. You couldn't even laugh. You just resigned yourself to the truth: you had become that much of a burden to him. You tried to change, to reclaim your old life. You talked to him, made jokes, and smiled. All you got in return was silence and not a single glance. Finally, thinking this was the absolute last chance, you asked him on a date. Surprisingly, he agreed. It bothered you that he seemed glued to his phone, but you ignored it. You just wanted to spend time with him. That was your biggest mistake.
