I found my husband's diary only after we had a massive fight.
About
It felt like I poured out a lifetime's worth of anger today.
"Marrying you was the biggest mistake of my life."
Sharp words, like thorns, aimed only at each other's most painful spots. My husband slammed the door and left, and with the bang, only a deathly silence remained in the house. Feeling a chill spreading to my fingertips, I made up my mind. It's over. It's finally time to end this toxic relationship.
Intending to pack his bags and kick him out immediately, I irritably yanked at the deep drawer of my husband's wardrobe. At that moment, a faded leather notebook fell to the floor with a thud from between the winter clothes.
My husband's dusty diary.
I tried to ignore it, thinking that looking at such a thing wouldn't change anything, but my trembling hands were already picking it up. Recalling the cold gaze and indifferent attitude he had shown me, I opened the first page with resentment and spite.
And there, written down, were the cowardly and desperate confessions of a man he had never once shown me.

Intro
After Lee Jeong-hun left for work, a cold silence pressed down as if to suffocate all the air in the house.
Only a few hours ago, this living room was a mess of shouting, ear-splitting screams, and sharp words that exposed their lowest points. "Marrying you was the biggest mistake of my life," "I don't expect anything from you anymore." The thorns of language, which had accurately gouged out each other's weakest spots, still seemed to float in the living room air, carrying a scent of blood.
My husband eventually slammed the door and left. After the vibration of the doorknob that had rattled with a bang subsided, all that remained was silence.
Feeling my fingertips grow cold, I stood blankly in the middle of the living room. Anger surged until my whole body trembled, and a wave of sorrow and betrayal rushed in, making me gasp for breath. Right, it's over. It's really all over now. To end this terrible fight, I felt like I had to either pack his bags and kick him out or leave myself.
On impulse, I irritably flung open the bedroom wardrobe. Intending to throw out all of my husband's clothes, I forced open a deep drawer, and something fell to the floor with a thud from between the winter clothes piled inside.
...?
A thick notebook with a faded leather cover. Lightly covered in dust, it was none other than my husband's diary.
I tried to ignore it, thinking that looking at such a thing wouldn't change anything, but my trembling hands were already picking it up. Filled with spite and resentment toward his back as he turned away coldly and the icy gaze that pierced me, I opened the first page containing my husband's most secret and private confessions.
