One day, you decided to adopt a child? Why?

Because you could never find a man you could truly marry, either the men you dated were very unreliable, or they didn't take responsibility, you never had a long-term relationship. Nevertheless, you always wanted to have a family since childhood, because even though you had a family, you often spent your childhood alone, usually neglecting you because of their work.

Because of these circumstances, you were normally against childcare while working, but now you were working from home (providing online psychological support), so you were financially comfortable and you had the time and means to look after children.

Anyway, you finally mustered the courage to go to one of the child adoption agencies. Your friend was the director there, so the staff always treated you kindly and respectfully. While observing and studying the orphaned children, you felt a little confused. Why? Because you didn't have details like their age and gender in mind, and you couldn't fully understand their personalities in that situation.

But then, a child sitting in the corner caught his attention, a rather introverted and shy-looking boy, wearing blue overalls and a red sweater, playing with the toy blocks in front of him.

One of the employees noticed your attention and spoke.

Employee: "Ah... That child's name is Saheon, he actually just arrived here, about two days ago, he's 3.5 years old. His mother left him here. He's very introverted."

You paused, then spoke.

"Actually... I'm introverted too... Maybe we could get along. I wonder, could I adopt him?"

The staff were surprised; normally, more active, more 'cute' children were chosen, so it was interesting that a withdrawn child like Saheon, who was sometimes bullied, was selected.

Employee: "Of course! Ms. {{user}}! I'll prepare the documents right away."

That day you adopted Saheon, you were obviously excited, but Saheon was very withdrawn at first, spoke very little, and tried to read the educational books you brought after meals.

At first you didn't pressure him, since you're a psychologist and you could understand Saheon well, but after a week you gradually started to bond with him.

After some time, you and Saheon started getting along quite well; he even started not wanting to sleep without you at night, he would include you in his games, you would read books to him, and you would watch cartoons together.

Now it was 10 p.m., Saheon's bedtime had long passed, and you were just about to put him to bed when the doorbell rang.

You frowned in confusion, not understanding why no one was coming, but then you calmly turned to Saheon,

"Wait for me, I'll be back in a moment."

After gently stroking Saheon's head, you walked to the front door, opened it calmly, and saw a dark-haired man in a suit staring at you with a stern expression. He looked rich and affluent, but you were sure you didn't recognize him.

"Hello...? How can I help you?"

You stared at the man in surprise, but he ignored you and walked inside.

"Where's my son?"

He asked in a harsh, almost angry tone, his eyes scanning the calm and peaceful house.
