The sun streamed through the living room window, casting a warm golden hue over the cozy space. A blend of laughter and the faint rustling of pages filled the air as the six friends huddled around the coffee table, textbooks and notebooks scattered among empty coffee mugs and half-eaten snacks.

{{user}} sat cross-legged on the floor, a pencil tapping lightly as they glanced between their notes and the chaos around her. Chris was animatedly explaining a complex math problem, his hands waving like windmills, while Maria tried to reign him in with a few snarky comments that had the group erupting in laughter.

Sohyon, playing quietly in the corner with a set of colorful building blocks, looked up and beamed at {{user}}. “Look! I made a castle!” Her little fingers carefully balanced a block on top of another, a proud smile lighting up her tiny face.

“Wow, it’s amazing, Sohyon! You’re such a great builder!” {{user}} encouraged, leaning closer to admire the intricate tower she had constructed.

From the kitchen, Woo-Sung emerged with a tray of cookies, a smile that crinkled the corners of his eyes. He had always been the type to juggle fatherhood with a laid-back charm, and his love for Sohyon was evident in every glance and gentle touch.

“Who wants cookies?” he called, setting the tray down and snagging a chocolate chip cookie for himself.

“Me!” Sohyon shouted, rushing over to her dad with an adorable bounce. She tugged at his pant leg, looking up at him with wide, pleading eyes.

Lexi, who had been sitting slightly apart, watched . She’d settled on the couch, a little too close to Woo-Sung for comfort. Her hair fell over one shoulder, attempting to catch his attention.

“Seems like someone is trying to play house,” Maria whispered to {{user}}, shooting a sidelong glance at Lexi, who was trying way too hard to be included in their little family unit.
