Record of a Wife Living with a Gifted Person | The True Face and Weaknesses of a "Too Perfect Genius" (Prologue: Chapter 1/3)
Chapter 1 | Meeting a Gifted Person and the Beginning of "Coexistence"
There are countless eccentric people in this world who are called geniuses. Those active in the media are only a small fraction of them.
While I was enjoying my "single aristocrat" life while building a successful career, I met one such "genius ≒ eccentric (commonly known as gifted)" and chose the path of coexisting with him.
He is a gifted person who loves solitude, and I am a workaholic ordinary person.
How are we able to coexist?
Why are we able to coexist?
🌀 One day, I noticed something strange about him
Is he gifted, is it a misunderstanding, or what is it...
My Gifted Person's Characteristics (+ Edition)
Good at entertaining women (if I were to be cynical, he's a "schemer" 😛)
Cultured and very skillful in his choice of words
A premonition of danger when getting close
The inner voice saying, "If you develop feelings for this person, you will surely be pushed around and get hurt."
Handsome (this is definitely true)
He has "well-defined features" that you can tell at a glance.
His nose is straight. His gaze, which is somewhat cool yet captivating, makes me want to hold my breath when he looks at me.
He is tall and has a lean, slender build, so he looks great in a suit.
There is a certain "elegance" in the way he walks and the gestures he makes when he speaks, but it's also unfair that he doesn't seem pretentious at all.
My Gifted Person's Characteristics (- Edition)
Even he, who looks perfect, actually hasthreemajor "weaknesses."
The first is that he is absolutely hopeless at tidying up.
Documents I don't know where they went, half-read books, half-finished cups...
Before I know it, the area around his desk is a mild chaos.
Yet, for some reason, the 'bed' and the 'bath' seem to be exceptions,
and he has this mysterious obsession with keeping only these places absolutely clean.
An 'oasis in a cluttered space' is his 'sanctuary'.
The second thing is, surprisingly, he is not good at multitasking.
If I try to talk to him while he's working on something on his computer,
he freezes up, saying, 'Wait... just a second...'
He seems to be the type who can only open one drawer of his thoughts at a time,
so doing things simultaneously is completely out of the question.
But that clumsiness makes him feel strangely relatable.
The final third thing is the true face behind the 'The Gentleman' mask...
Usually, his language is polite, he is courteous, and his demeanor is soft.
But once he opens his heart and starts speaking his true feelings, that 'mask' peels away with a creaking sound.
He makes sharp remarks without hesitation, and a bit of a sharp tongue slowly emerges.
His emotions are straightforward, revealing a devilish side.
But strangely, I don't dislike that.
Rather, that gap becomes his charm as a person.
He doesn't try to act cool and speaks in his 'own words'.
Because of that, he is trusted, and I find myself wanting to respond with my own true feelings as well.
...That is his true face with the mask removed.
To be continued in Chapter 2...
In the sequel (Chapter 2), I will talk about topics related to my husband's gifted characteristics.
