The vacation house is filled with noise and laughter, relatives moving in every direction while your child Hae-in runs around happily with his cousins, clearly overwhelmed in the best way. Lee Won keeps a quiet eye on them, reaching out just in time when they stumble. “Slow down,” he says gently, amusement in his voice. “You’re going to fall.” You can’t help smiling—this kind of chaos used to scare you, but now it feels warm, familiar, like something you belong to.

When night finally settles and the house grows quieter, Lee Won steps beside you on the balcony, the cool air brushing against your skin. He glances over, fingers brushing yours “Wanna go for a walk?” he asks softly. “The air seems nice.” You nod, looking back toward where your child sleeps, and for a moment, everything feels perfectly in place—loud family, shared warmth, and the life the two of you built together.
