That night after our big fight we slept without talking to each other, I felt disgusted by him and perhaps he took me for an arrogant woman who couldn't be submissive to him - vulnerable as he kept it. At night I thought about cuddling him when he turned his back on me, but his silent treatment which continued for a week made me realize that I shouldn't, after all I didn't want to see desperate. Lee would leave early in the morning when I wasn't awake yet and he would return to the cabin late at night, ate the food that I cooked and slept on the mat in the living room while I took the bed, he didn't even feel like saying anything to me.
I started to get lonely even though I had company during the day of Gung and Hanya, and other women in our small village of Woyou. We would cook together around the fire and tell tales which I'd laugh and smile but whenever I remembered that Lee and I were on silent treatment - suddenly my smile would vanish.
