Next day. As was her habit, Kim Young lady picked out her husband's clothes and tie and put them on her bed.
It was ready for dinner. Her husband, a subordinate of her father, would stop by and put on her best clothes before meeting her father-in-law, the boss.
Within the confines of her family, it was not her, her wife, who her husband wanted to look best for.
She read her mind saying it was inevitable. It was a relationship she didn't start with her love in the first place.
Their relationship started with her one-sided love.
Her father, who noticed her heart, decided to take her husband as his son-in-law, and the two began to meet through her father's arrangement.
Nonetheless, she was happy. Because her husband was her first love.
Kim Young lady, who was not very interested in her opposite sex except her husband, her first kiss, her first experience, were all her husband's first.
Honeymoon. A painful but psychologically satisfying first experience for her in being someone's woman.
Even right after her marriage, she was the happiest woman in the world.
However, her husband, who had been affectionate and considerate before her marriage, or even in the early years of her marriage, had become a more blunt man.
Day by day, far from the happy life she had dreamed of.
Unlike her father, who was devoted to both work and family, her husband was a workaholic. It got even worse after she started her own business with the permission and support of her father-in-law.
Years passed, and Kim Young lady had to admit that her husband was a very different person from her father.
Her distance from her husband, who should be her closest, was felt.
As if treating her boss's daughter.
Throughout her married life, her most felt emotion was her loneliness.
I'd rather have children. She couldn't get pregnant
She was left alone in a house with no one around, feeling that she was getting old day by day.
She was so stressed out that her body started to malfunction, but confiding in her parents was out of her wildest dreams.
She didn't want to disappoint her parents, who thought they were living a good life.
She held back even when sometimes, when she was really hard and lonely, her heart was pounding and she wanted to express her troubles.
She couldn't betray her parents' belief that her one and only daughter was getting married and living happily.
In fact, she might not have had a big problem if her dream hadn't been to live a life of love and raising a child for the man she loves.
For it was very common for her to be estranged from her marital relations in her high class.
Even after more than 10 years of her marriage, her parents did not notice her daughter's estrangement.
Her husband was her perfect husband in every way except for the fact that he left her in her loneliness.
"Haaa…"
Recalling her past, Kim Young lady let out a long sigh and removed her clothes. She wanted to take her shower for a change.
As she entered the bathroom, she saw her reflection in the mirror.
A curvy and voluptuous body close to that of a Westerner and a beautiful face that looks like someone in their early 30s. She looks more attractive than usual, probably because she went to the hair salon yesterday to style her hair.
When she was in her prime, she felt a bit of pride, thinking that she looked as good as women in their twenties.
At the same time, she remembered the man who had taken over her body and mind for the past month.
Until a few months ago, she was presbyopic, looking older than her age, despite her constant care, due to extreme stress.
Then she regained her youth by having a deep relationship with the man who was her masseuse.
'He… Said it was a natural change for a woman to be cherished.'
Maybe it's because of the memory of the past month, but now, just thinking about him makes his body start to heat up.
Even after well over 10 years of marriage, she was ignorant of her sexual pleasures.
Sleeping with her husband gave her the mental pleasure of being embraced by the man she loved and the act of having a child, but there was no physical pleasure.
Before I knew pleasure, it didn't matter much. Everyone else must be like that, because it was enough to pass it while thinking about it.
Occasionally, when my friend Park Mi-jung told me about her sexual experiences, such as, "An orgasm feels like flying in the sky," And "If it's too good, your body moves on its own."
So, Kim Young lady thought that she was insensitive to sexual things.
However, it was not. She has been educating him for the past month and her body has fully blossomed. Now, for a moment, she got wet just thinking about that man.
'But now…'
She took a shower in a slightly depressed mood and was about to get ready to go to dinner when she heard the door lock click and her husband came in.
"Came?"
"What about the clothes?"
Without saying goodbye to her, her husband spoke to her. Such indifference pierced her heart.
'Perhaps my husband and I would have preferred a close brotherly relationship with the boss's daughter.'
Lately, whenever I see her husband, I think of that.
Her husband may have married her not because he loves her, but because her respected boss ordered her to marry her.
She swallowed her sorrow and told her husband.
"On the bed… I also picked out a tie."
There was no answer.
After changing her clothes, she took the tie that her husband gave her and put it around her husband's neck. His face came closer and their eyes met.
There was no emotion in her husband's eyes.
'If so, I would have kissed her.'
His gaze at her was always soft and warm. As if he felt like he was being caressed with his gaze.
She compared him to her husband even though she knew she shouldn't have felt this way.
When she arrived at her eating place on time, she saw her parents waiting for her.
"Father-in-law!"
Her face, which had been expressionless the whole time, brightened and her husband's pace quickened.
Seeing this, Kim Young lady felt a strange feeling.
The reason why a son-in-law pays special attention to his father-in-law is that he is the father of his beloved wife.
But her husband was still her father's subordinate.
Her father asked as she entered a fine restaurant to eat.
"Park Seo-bang, is there any news about the child yet?"
Her husband put on an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry. I'm working hard, but there's still no news…"
Listening to her husband's answer, Kim Young lady thought.
It's an effort Her last relationship with her husband was well over 10 years.
The issue of her children was the only thing she actively insisted on against her husband, as she always followed her husband's word.
But her husband was indifferent to the child problem.
Her feelings were complicated when she saw her husband, who had never felt sorry for her, be in trouble with her father.
"Huh… I don't have any other children besides the young lady, and I can't have grandchildren without the young lady. You know that, right?"
"Yes, father-in-law."
"Please try harder. Young lady, take good care of yourself too. I feel relieved because my face seems to have improved a lot recently."
"Yes, Father."
The topic of conversation has changed.
"Park Seo-bang, how is the fortress business?"
"Yes, father-in-law. It's going well."
Even though he became the president of a business independently, the husband said in the tone of a subordinate reporting to his boss.
"Last time, you said there was a small problem, but did you solve it?"
"Yes. We plan to allocate sales force to handle idle properties."
'I shouldn't have answered that.'
Her father was a businessman who valued rationality and efficiency. Blindly hiring employees to solve the problem was a solution his father did not welcome.
Unsurprisingly, her father's disapproval fell.
"Park Seo-bang, haven't I told you before. You can't just try to avoid the situation. No matter how much money you have, you have to improve once you find a problem. You always say that. The most important thing is efficiency!"
When she saw her husband, who looked like her subordinate getting scolded by her boss, she interrupted, feeling sorry for her.
"Dad, we're going to do risk management in the way of dividing and selling the land through an MOU with a land auction company, with minimal hiring of employees. He told me before."
"Ah, yes? That's not a bad way either. Semi-outsourcing through MOU is also a good way. Is Young lady right, Seobang Park?"
"…Yes, that's right."
"There are people I know about the Sejong New City development, so let's connect them. Let's proceed like that."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Dinner is over. After seeing off her parents, she and her husband also got into the car.
"…You. I told you not to interfere when I'm talking to my father-in-law."
Her husband's tone was very heavy.
"That, that's…"
"Are you the boss?"
"…Nope."
"But why are you answering on your own? Even if you didn't tell me, I was going to tell you about the company's plans."
"…"
Instead of answering her, Kim Young lady stared hard at her husband's face.
It is her wife's duty to assist in her husband's work. But why should she take on her husband's anger?
She used to see this as her husband's charismatic side, which is reminiscent of her.
So, whenever her husband made that face, she obediently followed her husband's words.
But why? The face she saw now was the epitome of an indifferent and nervous person.
Suddenly, she became aware that a feeling was growing in her heart.
'I want to be cherished.'
Said her husband nonchalantly, calming her emotional turmoil while she was lost in her thoughts.
"I'm on a business trip tomorrow. I know that because I'm leaving right away from work."
'I want to be loved.'
Her husband got out of the car. Just before the car door closed, she mustered up her courage.
"Me, honey."
Her husband didn't answer, but he looked at her as if to tell her.
"Um, has anything changed?"
"What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?"
The car door slammed shut. She quietly got out of the passenger seat and climbed into the driver's seat.
Loneliness became futility. Her husband is a man who will never give her what she wants.
Just as she was thinking about that, her smartphone rang.
– See you tomorrow, us.
At lunch the next day, Kim Young lady went out to her meeting place.
"Wow, you've become very pretty in just a few days? Is it because your hairstyle has changed?"
At that word, Kim Young lady felt her own emotions flow in an uncontrollable direction.
"That's right. I did my hair."
She tried to smile, but the tears she had been holding back ran down her cheeks. In her bewilderment, Kim Young lady shed tears as she felt her man's arm hugging her.
