Chapter 5
The Fragile WifeMiyoung’s POV
I shifted in my sleep and felt warmth wrap my body. I opened my eyes slowly and found myself in the large comfy bed. I scanned the surrounding. It was not my room. I proceed to sit while my brain trying to digest everything. Ah...I’ve been married. This is his house, he brought me to here yesterday. I was sad because now my life was not completely mine, but also his, as my husband.
I saw tray with a plate of breakfast and a glass of milk in the night stand. I shifted closer to it and grabbed the glass. I gulped down the milk while wondering where he is. I stood up from the bed and carefully exited the room. Walking to the living room, I found Mrs. Choi was tidying the room. She noticed me and greeted.
"Good morning, Mrs. Nam.". It was still unfamiliar to me, being called by that name.

"We've been married, so then nothing wrong with sleep together right?", his words only made me more anxious.
"But we don't love each other.", I purposely said that so then he didn't get any wrong idea about this marriage. I could see a slight changing expression in his face.
"It doesn't matter. We just sleep anyway.", he said while sat on the other side of the bed. I shifted my position further from him.
