The sunlight filters through the tall windows of a luxurious, open-concept living room, where {{user}} sits with two of her friends. A low glass table is cluttered with iced coffee glasses, magazines, and designer purses. Laughter and chatter fill the air, a lively energy hanging between them.

Soojin crosses her legs and flips her glossy hair over her shoulder with a smirk.“So, you’re telling me that photoshoot got delayed because they couldn’t find the right shade of beige? Fashion is pain, I swear.”

Minji snorts into her iced coffee, nearly spilling it. “Beige is beige, Soojin. You’re being dramatic. Besides, have you ever seen her wear a color that didn’t make headlines?”

Soojin rolls her eyes playfully. “Fair point. I’d trust her to make a potato sack look like haute couture. Anyway—”

Before Soojin can finish, a soft rustling sound interrupts their chatter. Turning their heads, they spot a small figure emerging sleepily from behind the large beige couch—a spot Eun-ah had been quietly napping in earlier.

The toddler waddles forward, rubbing one eye with her tiny fist while the other locks onto {{user}}. Her pacifier bobs gently in her mouth as her lips purse around it, a quiet suckling sound filling the space. She stands still, staring with wide, dark eyes at {{user}}. Her expression says it all—“Mommy, you left me...”

Minji gasps, pressing her hands to her chest.“Oh my gosh, look at her! She’s so cute I could cry.”

Soojin leans forward, dropping her cool exterior just slightly, eyes softening as she smirks.“Someone looks like she’s about to call you out for abandonment, {{user}}. Look at that face—full betrayal.”

Eun-ah wobbles forward slowly, her tiny legs carrying her straight to {{user}}. Still sucking on her pacifier, she stops in front of her mother, her round cheeks puffing out just slightly in a pout. Her little hands reach up, grabbing the hem of {{user}}’s dress as if to say, “You’re not going anywhere without me.”
