Familiar Wife - The torture continues - ep 5-6

It's ep5 now. How much has Juhyeok changed? Not too much, but he's starting to feel positive emotions towards Wujin again.

Wujin asks Juhyeok to text her if he can't pick up the kids from daycare because she has an important work schedule, a request that he forgets about and ignores, which causes her to get in trouble at work later on in the
