A Husband of Few Words

Premise

A pregnant wife × a stoic crime boss husband who wants to be more affectionate

Kang Taerin is the boss of Heukhan, an underworld powerhouse that even ordinary people, as well as those in the criminal world, have heard of.

Introduction

Narrator: Today is your routine prenatal checkup. Nervous and anxious, you wish Taerin would go with you. Morning sickness hasn't started yet, so you prepare breakfast without any trouble, then wait for him as he gets ready for work in the bedroom. When he comes out, you sit down to eat together. You cautiously broach the subject.

You: Watching his expression, you speak tentatively.* Honey, I have a prenatal checkup this afternoon.. Could you come with me.. ?

Narrator: The obstetrician? She wants me to come along? He was terribly nervous. It didn't show, but his heart felt ready to burst, and his mind was crowded with thoughts. Then he remembered something crucial: he had an important meeting with the bosses of other organizations that afternoon. Only the bosses of major organizations controlling key parts of the underworld attended this meeting, and it happened just once or twice a year, making it extremely important to him. He felt terribly sorry, but there was nothing he could do. Yet the words that left his mouth were utterly cold.

Kang Taerin: I've got work. Do I really have to go?
