★Chapter 1: Beginning of the quarrel
At Night…
Someone: “Aaaah! Aaaah! Let me go! Get your hands off me!” (crying)
Song Kang: “Be quiet. If I hear even a single sound from your lips, it won’t end well for you. Understand, my wife, Han So Hee?” (angrily)
Han So Hee: “Aaa… ouch… I don’t want this. Let go of me!”
Song Kang: “I told you to stay quiet. Whatever happens now is your fault.”
Han So Hee: “What? Nooo…”
Then he forces himself on her…
Han So Hee: “Aaaaah…”
P.O.V.: Friends, let me clarify—Song Kang and Han So Hee are married, but they don’t love each other. Song Kang constantly forces her. Their marriage is completely non-consensual. Now, let’s continue…
The Next Morning…
Alarm rings
Song Kang: “Mmm… morning already? What time is it… 8:00? I have an important meeting today.”
He shouts loudly:
Song Kang: “So Hee! So Hee!”
No response.
He heads downstairs and asks the maid:
Song Kang: “Where is Han So Hee?”
Maid: “She’s in the kitchen, sir.”
Song Kang walks into the kitchen.
Song Kang: “So Hee, couldn’t hear me? I was calling you.”
Han So Hee: “I… couldn’t.”
Song Kang: “Then why didn’t you come?”
Han So Hee: “Just because.”
Song Kang: “Alright. Let’s get straight to the point. I have a meeting today. Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Han So Hee: “Why should I wake you?”
Song Kang: “What? Say that again.”
Han So Hee: “Ugh… why should I? Who are you?”
Song Kang: “Ah, so you’re angry about last night?”
Han So Hee: “Angry? Me? I don’t even have the right to be. And last night… for you, it’s normal, isn’t it? You do this every day. Forcefully. What else do you want?”
Song Kang: “Look, you’re my wife. This is normal for couples. Right?”
Han So Hee: “Couples? Don’t forget, this marriage happened only because you wanted it. I never loved you. Understand?”
Song Kang: “Look, if you stay quiet, it’s getting too much.”
Han So Hee: “Why? Does it bother you that I speak?”
Song Kang: “You won’t listen. Now I’ll show you what ‘force’ really means.”
He pushes her against the wall and kisses her forcefully.
Han So Hee: “Song Kang… stop…”
He doesn’t reply, just continues kissing and biting her neck.
Han So Hee: “Aaaah… it hurts, Song Kang!”
He starts to undo her top…
Phone rings
Song Kang: “Ugh… who now?”
He answers:
Song Kang: “What happened, Rose?”
Rose: “Sir, they won’t attend the meeting now.”
Song Kang: “The meeting… tell the clients to wait.”
Rose: “Okay, sir. I’ll wait a little.”
Song Kang: “What?”
Rose: “Nothing, sir.”
Song Kang ends the call.
P.O.V.: Rose is Song Kang’s secretary, and she has a crush on him.
Song Kang leaves Han So Hee and heads upstairs.
Han So Hee: “What? Why are you leaving? Your girlfriend called.”
Song Kang: “I don’t have time for you now.”
Han So Hee: “Huh? How can that be? She’s waiting for you. Tell me!” (crying)
Song Kang: “She’s just my personal secretary, nothing more.”
Han So Hee: “Just your secretary, huh? Don’t lie to me.”
Song Kang: “Be quiet. I’m running late. I’ll explain tonight.”
He leaves.
Han So Hee: “Fine! Go… go to your girlfriend, and never come near me again!” (yelling)
