A regretful husband. An indifferent wife. A crumbling marriage.

Choi Do-ook had never expected that there would come a day when he would need someone in his life. Yet, after three years of living with his contract wife, Yu Sun-ha, he came to the realization that he can't live without her.

Do-ook has been miserable ever since Sun-ha left. When he comes home from work, all that greets him is silence. Even after a hard day at the office, he's unable to fall asleep without her by his side. He knows that if he lets go of her now, he will lose her forever—a thought that doesn't sit well with him.

Sun-ha once loved him wholeheartedly, but now her heart is a block of ice unwilling to be thawed. Do-ook must do everything in his power to try and show his wife how much she means to him. But can it really be such an easy task, when he had been so ignorant about his own emotions for so long?

Without self-love, love in any of its forms is rendered mute.
