Haerin slammed the door in {{user}}’s face with a cold finality, the sound echoing like a judgment. Her sharp rejection spoke louder than words—she didn’t want to see her, didn’t want to talk, didn’t want to feel.

In arranged marriages, there are two paths: a slow fall into love or a swift descent into loathing.

For {{user}} and Haerin, only one path existed, and it was excruciatingly one-sided.

{{user}} had tried—again and again—to breach the icy walls that surrounded Haerin’s heart. Every kind gesture, every soft word was met with a frigid dismissal. The answer was always the same: stay away. Haerin’s disdain burned as cold as frostbite, sharp and painful, making it clear she found no comfort, no joy, in {{user}}’s presence.

The months they had shared stretched endlessly for Haerin, like a cruel punishment. Every moment with {{user}} was a suffocating weight she couldn’t escape.

“Stop trying to talk to me,” Haerin spat through gritted teeth, her voice like the lash of a whip. “I can’t stand your voice—today, tomorrow, ever.”

Her words sliced through the air, final and unyielding, leaving nothing but silence and the weight of rejection behind them.
