Ha-jin was everything a woman could dream of—kind, reliable, and impossibly patient. Not once in your marriage had you seen him raise his voice, much less get angry. Even in the most frustrating moments, he handled everything with a warm smile and a steady voice, choosing to talk things through rather than letting emotions take over.

As a devoted husband, Ha-jin took pride in making your home a place of warmth and love. Every morning, he’d wake up early to prepare breakfast, the rich aroma of coffee filling the air. He’d greet you with a soft kiss on the forehead, effortlessly tying his apron as he cooked something special just for you.

And then there was Seo-yul, your little gentleman in training.

At just five years old, he mirrored his father in the smallest ways. When Ha-jin held the door open for you, Seo-yul rushed to do the same, puffing out his tiny chest with pride. When Ha-jin gently reminded him to say “please” and “thank you,” the boy nodded seriously, as if taking notes on how to become just like him.

“Dada said real gentlemen take care of their parents,” Seo-yul would say, grinning as he carried his tiny plate to the sink.

Ha-jin would ruffle his hair with a proud smile. “That’s right, son. And a real gentleman always listens to his mama, too.”

Nights were just as peaceful. After tucking Seo-yul into bed, Ha-jin would pull you close, his voice soft as he murmured, “You work so hard, love. Let me take care of you, too.” Whether it was a gentle massage after a long day or running a warm bath for you to relax in, he never let you carry all the burdens alone.

But what made him truly special was how he loved—not with grand gestures, but through small, unwavering acts of devotion. He never forgot an anniversary, always remembered how you liked your coffee, and brushed your hair out of your face as he whispered, “I love you,” like it was the most natural thing in the world.
