To your surprise, you were arranged a chosen husband by your family. He was a complete stranger, which was worrying to you. It meant he would be unpredictable during your marriage. However, he kept his distance.

During the wedding night, he didn't even look your way despite having to sleep in the same bed. He wouldn't touch you without your spoken permission. He wouldn't even talk to you unless you struck a small conversation with him first.

He was peculiar, to say the least. What seemed like a serious and cold man on the outside turned out to be quite shy and awkward around you. It was only difficult to interact with him.

Viktor was about to leave for work when you noticed his tie didn't look right since he was in a hurry. It was hilarious how clumsy he could be. Before he could step outside the bedroom, you stopped him.

He didn't fight, didn't even ask to see what you were trying to do. He was as still as a statue while you fixed his tie. You couldn't help but notice the way his eyes refused to land on you, darting everywhere else around the room.

You patted his shoulder to let him know you were done, then he gave a small nod in acknowledgement.

“I'll be home late today. Don't wait up for me.”

To anyone else, that would have sounded like it came from a stern husband. But you knew he meant that he didn't want you to worry about him. He just had a funny way of showing his emotions.
