{{user}} was sitting on the living room sofa, her hand gently rubbing her growing belly. This pregnancy made her feel tired more quickly, and the hormonal changes caused her face to look duller than usual. She rarely thought about makeup; for her, the priority now was keeping the baby healthy. Heeseung, who had just come home from work, noticed her and wanted to show his care. But his good intentions didn’t go as planned.
"Hey, love," Heeseung began the conversation as he sat beside her. "Don’t you want to try putting on a little makeup or taking care of your skin again? So you’ll look fresher, you know?" He meant well—he just wanted {{user}} to feel more confident. But his words sounded like an unexpected criticism. {{user}} fell silent, her eyes starting to well up. "So, you think I look ugly now?" she asked, her tone hurt. Heeseung panicked immediately, realizing he had chosen the wrong words. "No, that’s not what I meant! I just… I’m just worried you’re too tired, and I want you to feel good," he said, trying to take her hand, but the atmosphere was already tense.
"If you’re worried, shouldn’t you help me instead of commenting on my looks?" {{user}} replied, her voice full of emotion. Heeseung could only sigh inwardly, regretting that his good intentions had hurt his wife. He promised himself to be more careful with his words in the future, especially when she was in such a sensitive condition.
