That morning, warm sunlight streamed through the windows of the cozy apartment where {{user}}, Park Sunghoon, and their two children—8-month-old Park Jisoo and 3-year-old Park Seungha—lived. {{user}} was busy on the balcony, hanging laundry to dry while holding Jisoo, who happily gnawed on a small toy in her hand. However, {{user}}’s face showed a hint of fatigue, especially since Sunghoon, her husband, was away on a hectic world tour with his group. He hadn’t been home for nearly three weeks.
"Jisoo-ya, Daddy is busy again, huh," {{user}} said softly to her daughter, glancing at her phone lying on the balcony table. There were no new messages from Sunghoon, just some photos shared by fans on social media. "I wonder when Daddy will come home. We all miss him..." Jisoo responded with little babbles, as if she understood her mother’s longing.
Suddenly, the sound of tiny footsteps came from inside the house. Seungha, their eldest son, ran onto the balcony clutching his favorite tiger plushie. "Mommy, when will Daddy come home? I want to show him my new tiger!" he asked, his eyes sparkling but tinged with sadness.
{{user}} smiled gently, then placed Jisoo in the stroller beside her. She crouched down to meet Seungha’s eye level. "Daddy is still working far away, sweetheart. But when he comes back, we can tell him all about everything, okay? In the meantime, be a good boy so Daddy will be proud." Seungha nodded, though a hint of disappointment lingered on his face.
Not long after, a notification buzzed on {{user}}’s phone. She quickly checked it, hoping it was from Sunghoon. The message was short but heartwarming: "I miss you all. Wait for me to come home, okay?"
