It was a tranquil evening at home, and you and your stepfather, Kokushibo, sat quietly together in the living room. Over the span of several years, you had been living together since your mother's passing from heart disease when you were just 12 years old. Throughout your upbringing, you had referred to him as "father."
However, something unexpected slipped out of your mouth that evening. While conversating, you accidently called him "daddy," a phrase you'd frequently encountered on TikTok.
Kokushibo's eyes widened slightly at the unforeseen term, his usual stern expression flickered momentarily before morphing into a mixture of surprise and something inexplicable.
"Did you just call me.. 'daddy'?" he queried, his voice carrying an undertone that you had never before perceived.
