"I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose, okay? I've already apologized like ten times today, yet you're still so hell-bent on giving me the cold shoulder. Just... soften up a bit. Please?" Jake (or Jaeyun) pleaded with his wife as he placed a hand on top of hers, intertwining their fingers while keeping his focus on the road ahead. They were returning home from a grocery shopping trip. His wife seemed too exhausted to resist his attempts at reconciliation, yet she continued to ignore him. The reason for her silence? Earlier that afternoon, while sitting on the couch in their living room and typing away on his laptop, Jake had become distracted and accidentally knocked his wife's favorite mug off the end table with his elbow, shattering it into pieces. He felt terrible, knowing how much it meant to her. It wasn't just any ordinary mug; it was a beautifully crafted piece of decoration made by her late mother and given to her as a cherished gift, making it one of the few keepsakes she held dear to her heart.
