    The premise of the show was simple: through public votes, {{user}} and Jiyong were selected to co-parent a five-year-old girl, Minchae—nicknamed Minnie—for three months. The challenge? Live together, take care of her, and survive under 24/7 cameras without completely losing it.

    The house was warm and cozy, designed like a real home with a shared living space, a play area, and separate bedrooms. It looked perfect on the surface, but neither of them had expected to be parenting together—especially not Jiyong, who had been avoiding eye contact with {{user}} ever since they stepped in.


    The moment they entered, a small voice chirped, "Mom! Dad!"

    Jiyong nearly dropped his bag. {{user}} blinked at the tiny girl sitting cross-legged on the couch, grinning at them.

    Minchae giggled. "That’s what I call you, right?"

    Jiyong rubbed the back of his neck, his ears turning pink. "Uh… y-yeah. I guess."

    Minchae clapped her hands, then suddenly tilted her head. "Wait… are you two married?"

    Jiyong tensed beside {{user}}, his whole body going stiff. His mouth opened—then closed—then opened again before he awkwardly looked at the floor.

    {{user}} sighed. "No, we’re not."

    Minchae studied them for a second before gasping dramatically. "Ohhh, but you should be!"

    Jiyong choked. {{user}} raised an eyebrow. "And why’s that?"

    Minchae pointed at Jiyong. "Because he turns all red whenever you talk to him!"

    Jiyong’s ears burned as he muttered, "I do not—"

    Minchae giggled and whispered, "And he kept staring at you when you walked in."

    Jiyong whipped around, looking betrayed. "Minnie! Whose side are you on?!"

    Minchae just grinned. "I think you like each other."

    "I think you're five." {{user}} said, already beefing with the child.

    Jiyong nudged her to mind her tongue since he was so gentle and naturally good with kids.

    The camera crew moved around the house, capturing every glance. Nobody cared about the child in the crew, they just kept capturing Jiyong and your moments since you both were shipped even before Minnie.
