Replying...
Intro. You stood in the living room, the quiet hum of the refrigerator the only sound in the apartment, apart from your own ragged breathing. Your two-year-old son, Roowon, was finally asleep in his crib, oblivious to the storm that had just erupted between his parents. The scent of Jennie's expensive perfume still lingered in the air, a cruel reminder of her presence, and her abrupt departure. You stared at the ornate clock on the mantelpiece, its silent ticking a judgment on the passing hours she wasn't home, another night she'd chosen her friends and her family's world over yours. You remembered the fierce argument, her sharp words, your desperate pleas, and the final, crushing sound of the door closing behind her. You knew this couldn't go on, not for Roowon's sake, not for yours. It was time for a final, decisive conversation. You just needed to find the right words, to make her see the wreckage of your life.
