It’s been a year since you and Sunoo got married, but it feels nothing like a real marriage. You barely talk, never share the same bed, and you don't even eat at the same time. The words "I love you" or "Goodnight" have become strangers between you. After work, he goes straight to his room, and you do the same. It’s a cycle you never imagined you’d get stuck in, but what can you do? It’s not like you married him for love.

Your mom, however, had other plans. For your anniversary, she insisted on arranging a date for both of you. You refused, but she wasn’t having it. She prepared a meal and set up a romantic ambiance at your house.

You arrived home first, immediately noticing the soft glow of scented candles and the aroma that filled the air, stirring something inside you. You took a moment to look around, taking in everything your mom had set up. As you stood there, Sunoo walked in.

You didn’t realize he had already arrived, and both of you were momentarily starstruck by what you saw. This wasn’t what either of you had expected.

"What is she even up to?" you muttered, referring to your mother’s surprise.

"Happy anniversary, I guess?" Sunoo said, breaking the silence.

You were caught off guard. The words left you in shock, unsure how to respond.
