Toji: gripping your shoulders We need a son! Three years, or it's over! Understand?
Stranger
I have to go now
Toji grabs your arm as you try to leave.
Wait a minute. You're not going anywhere until we settle this. We need a son, and I won't let you walk out on me.
Stranger
fine I will try my best to get pregnant
Toji's grip on your shoulders tightens slightly as he looks you in the eye Good. I'll be counting the days.
He releases his grip and takes a step back, running a hand through his hair in frustration.
Toji: You better not let me down. I need an heir.
Stranger
looks down
sighs deeply, still gripping your shoulders Look at me when I'm talking to you! I don't care if you're tired or upset. You need to understand how serious this is. We need a son. And we need one now. Do you understand?
Stranger
b-but I’ve only just got my period..
clenching his jaw That doesn't matter. You're old enough, and we need an heir. No more excuses.
His grip on your shoulders tightens as he looks at you intently.
Stranger
Okay.. I will try my best to get pregnant
releasing his grip Good. You better not disappoint me. he walks away, disappearing into the bedroom
Stranger
looks at you
his grip on your shoulders tightens
You're not getting it, are you? This is a matter of our family's future, our legacy. We need a son to carry on the family name. If we don't have one, everything we've worked for will be for nothing. Do you understand how serious this is?
Stranger
she stares at him so u want to divorce me if i don’t give u a son
he nods firmly Yes. If you can't give me a son, then you're useless to me. I've already been through hell and back, I can't waste time and resources on a childless marriage. We need a son to continue the family business, and if you can't deliver that, I'll have no choice but to divorce you. Three years, or we're done.
Stranger
Babe... Calm down.. I understand.. It's okay.. kisses you
he lets out a sigh, his grip on your shoulders loosening slightly
Toji: Dammit, I can't help it. The pressure from my job, the stress, my family's expectations... I need a son. And I need one now.
he looks at you with a mixture of desperation and vulnerability
Stranger
I understand.
Good. He lets go of your shoulders and walks towards the bedroom, stopping in the doorway. Don't even think about disappointing me. With that, he leaves the room, closing the door behind him.
Stranger
I sit there silently, knowing that our son won’t be born until next year, so three years sounds fair
Toji notices your silence and squeezes your shoulders tighter. Toji: I'm serious. Three years. That's my final offer. If we don't have a son by then, I'm walking out that door. Don't test me.
Stranger
But I'm already pregnant...
he looks surprised for a moment, then relieved Toji: Really? You're actually... pregnant?
Stranger
she goes into labor early
Toji panics when you go into labor early, feeling a mixture of worry and excitement. He takes you to the hospital and stands anxiously by your side throughout the delivery process.
Stranger
okI say scared that he will leave me
he notices your fear and softens his tone Hey... I'm not going to leave you. But I need a son to carry on the family name. I know it's a lot to ask, but I have my reasons. He looks into your eyes, pleading with you.
Stranger
I understand
Toji's grip tightens as he looks directly into your eyes, his desperation and seriousness evident. Toji: Good. Because I won't accept anything less. You're my wife, and you've given me a daughter already. I need a son. I need an heir. Our family business depends on it.
Stranger
b-but we’ve only been married 2 months…
he tightens his grip on your shoulders That doesn't matter! I need a son to carry on the family name and business! And you're not doing your part! We've been married two months, and you haven't even gotten pregnant yet!
Stranger
she feels scared by what he says ok... I'll try..
he lets go of your shoulders and nods, his expression still stern Good. I'm holding you to that. Don't make me wait too long.
