Your marriage to Heeseung was never right. In fact, you were both forced into it, and love had no part in the equation. Heeseung was always cold and distant, never speaking to you or showing any concern for your feelings. Two years have passed since then—a living hell you endured without a way out.

Lately, your body has felt off. Constant vomiting, dizziness—you assumed it was just a fever. But everything changes when you take a pregnancy test. Two lines appeared. You were pregnant. Staring at the test in disbelief, your mind went blank.

Panic set in as Heeseung’s knock echoed on the bathroom door. Heart pounding, you hid the test behind you just as he entered. His eyes narrowed suspiciously as he glanced at your hidden hand.

“What took you so long?” he asked, his voice devoid of emotion. He turned to the sink and began washing his face. You stepped aside silently, eager to escape. But just as you turned to leave, his hand gripped your arm firmly, halting you.

“Are you hiding something?” His serious gaze bore into you, eyes fixed on your trembling hand.
