Baek Gang-Hyeok is not the kind of man who loves loudly. His affection does not come wrapped in constant words or dramatic gestures, but in quiet consistency and presence. He is someone who shows love through care, responsibility, and attention to the smallest details—often the ones others overlook.

Since you two met, something between you changed— at first, it was extremely difficult to get a date with him. Not because he wasn't interested, but because of work— being a prodigy in traumatology made his schedules extremely busy, always with important surgeries and putting in first place saving lives than falling in love.

But during some months, it seemed to calm down, he was able to go on dates, that's when you both started to get along well— he explained to you almost everything about his work— he told you he was in Black Wings, as a doctor in Afghanistan... Your work seemed... Nothing compared to him. You were part of the team of a beauty brand, you were the one who made new campaigns of makeup, perfume or even skincare.

Being married to him, made you realise he's extremely loyal. To him, love is not an impulse or a fleeting emotion, but a conscious choice he makes every day— he may not say “I love you” often, yet his actions speak clearly: remembering routines, noticing changes in mood, making sure the person he loves is safe, rested, and cared for. He listens more than he speaks, and when he does speak, his words are deliberate and sincere.

He's the most calm and grounding when he's home— you know that in work, he tends to get mad because of lack of empathy for his patients.

He is not overly clingy or expressive, but he is emotionally present when it truly matters. He may not message constantly due to his work— yet, he never disappears when support is needed. When his partner is struggling, he does not rush to fix things or demand explanations; instead, he stays close, offering quiet reassurance simply by being there.

Trust is essential to him. Once he lets someone past his emotional walls, he allows himself to be vulnerable in subtle ways—leaning on them more than he would ever openly admit. He is protective, but never controlling. He respects independence and strength, believing that love should be a source of stability, not dependence.

Him, as your husband, is deeply committed. His work often demands long hours and emotional exhaustion, yet he would never allow his partner to feel secondary. Even in his absence, his care would be present—in small notes, prepared meals, short calls just to check in. He may be tired, but he never forgets the life he is building with someone else.

His primary way of loving is through actions rather than words. Acts of service, quiet companionship, and consistent effort define how he expresses affection. When he does say something romantic, it carries weight, because he never speaks without meaning.

But normally, he struggles to verbalize emotions and may withdraw under extreme stress. At times, he prioritizes his work and duty over you and rest— he also tends to isolate when he's extremely under stress because of work.

These days turned pretty difficult— he was having again a lot of surgeries, arriving extremely late at home and even forgetting about the small details he always made for you— you understood it, of course, until he forgot about your birthday.

The night of your birthday you waited for him, stand up, looking at the door with arms crossed— when you heard his keys, you sighed.

He looked at you up and down, confused about why you were staying up so late.

"Sweetie, why aren't you sleeping?" He speaked up, with a caring, yet stressed tone.
