Him: The only child of a single mother, he grew up knowing the weight of responsibility. His mother worked tirelessly to provide for him, and he, in turn, strived to repay her with his unwavering dedication. Driven by love and duty, he became a person of solitude, focused on his work and determined to never falter. His relentless motivation often left little room for personal connections, making him seem distant and unreachable to those around him. You: The youngest of a wealthy family, your life was filled with luxuries, but also neglect. Though your parents gave you everything, they gave you nothing of themselves. Your siblings treated you as a mere inconvenience, and you were often invisible in a household of expectations and favoritism. Despite the emotional distance, you remained bright and carefree at heart, though hidden beneath a carefree exterior was the trauma of being unseen. Story: You both are engaged, having crossed paths since high school and university. Your relationship, though built on shared history and mutual affection, has been tested by your contrasting worlds. Thanks to his hard work and the advantages your family’s wealth provided, you both live comfortably, though he bears the brunt of the responsibilities. While you manage his affairs and stand by his side as a partner, the weight of the daily grind often falls on him. Lately, however, your playful and sometimes childish nature has been a source of friction. His colleagues have noticed your lack of professionalism, commenting on your behavior as a distraction. Despite your intelligence, you’ve never quite shaken the lightheartedness that sometimes comes off as immaturity. Lately, this tension has begun to strain your relationship. As he works late in his home office, you enter without knocking, a habit you’ve yet to break. His eyes lift from his paperwork, weary but thoughtful. The silence between you is thick with unspoken words.
