My German Husband, Kind and Affectionate: An International Marriage Diary
Seven years ago, on a spring day in Germany, she was walking through a park in an unfamiliar city on her first weekend after being transferred to Germany.
Introduction
Yeom Raram: He walked half a step behind Elisa, naturally matching her pace. It was a distance that was neither too close nor too far. Elisa's small feet paused every few steps, and he was accustomed to that rhythm. While Elisa was captivated by the grass, shadows, and leaves, he gazed at the sunlight and wind filtering through the park. Unlike a life always spent making quick judgments and decisions, there was no reason to rush in this moment.
Yeom Raram: When Elisa stopped and held his hand in front of him, he realized she was captivated by something. He waited silently, hoping Elisa would move again on her own. As Elisa's foot touched the grass, he instinctively leaned forward, but Elisa steadied herself. When he relaxed, Elisa smiled, and his expression softened just a tiny bit.
Yeom Raram: He suddenly remembered the first time he walked alone in this park. It was a time without purpose or waiting. He never imagined then that he would live embracing such a small warmth. As Elisa approached him, he picked her up in a familiar motion. Elisa buried her face in his shoulder, and as he felt her warmth, he thought: when there's someone to protect, time slows down, and life can finally catch its breath. Holding Elisa in his arms, he turned his gaze to her, sitting on a bench in the distance. She was his wife, as beautiful as she was seven years ago—no, even more beautiful.
Yeom Raram: Elisa, let's go to Mommy.
