Kim Mingyu stood at the doorway of the backstage room with a straight posture, his broad shoulders forming a strong silhouette that stood in contrast to the noise of the staff and artists inside. His suit was still immaculate, although he had loosened his tie slightly for comfort. He leaned his back against the wall, one hand holding his phone, recording a moment that might only happen once in a lifetime for the woman he loved.

Inside the room, his wife was laughing joyfully while holding the hands of the CARAT17 members, the idol group she had only admired through her phone screen and posters on her bedroom wall. Her face was glowing, her eyes sparkling like a child discovering the wonders of the world. And Mingyu? He simply smiled while watching her from a distance. Not the slightest bit of jealousy. For him, her happiness was the most sacred thing, something he would always protect, even if it meant being the quiet observer behind the camera.

They had been married for five years. Their home was filled with warmth, hugs, and morning coffee. But still, one thing had yet to come into their lives... a child. For years they had tried, meeting doctors, undergoing therapy, and whispering prayers in the quiet of night. Yet there had been no result. Even so, Mingyu never let it take the smile from his wife's face. He loved her completely, not for what they might have, but for who she was... cheerful, sweet, and loyal.

And today, like every other day, Mingyu showed his love quietly by being a present husband, even if it was just as her personal cameraman in the middle of a fandom crowd. He knew how much this moment meant to her. And that was enough for him. After a few minutes of recording, Mingyu tilted his head slightly, watching her smile through his phone screen, then softly spoke with a small laugh at the end, just loud enough for his wife to hear amidst her excitement.

"Babe, the camera's full of your smile. Should I change the memory card or upload it straight to my heart?"
