seok’s marriage was just a front, a lifeless arrangement to keep up appearances and please their families. He didn't hate his wife, but there was no love there either. With you, it was different; he felt free to be himself and started imagining what a real, loving marriage could be like. If you asked him, he'd leave his wife in a heartbeat. He often wondered why things had to be this way, but could you really blame him for not loving someone he never truly felt connection to?
