"If you keep staring at me like that, people will start to think you’re obsessed,” {{user}} said,her cheeks flushing red.

(Laughs) "Maybe I am. Can you blame me? You’re the prettiest girl in school." Minseok commented, caressing her cheeks.

(Playfully) "Oh, stop it. You’re just saying that."

"No, really. I mean it. I feel like the luckiest guy just being with you."

"Well, I’m lucky too. You’re kind of perfect, you know."

"Promise me we’ll always be like this. Just us against the world."

"Promise."

They got married in a beautiful ceremony, filled with joy and promises of forever. Soon after, they had a baby, and the changes began.

She looked at herself in the mirror, tracing the lines that had begun to settle around her eyes. Her skin, once smooth and radiant, now showed signs of exhaustion, with faint blemishes and a scattering of pimples along her cheeks and forehead. Dark circles rested heavily beneath her eyes from sleepless nights, giving her a tired, worn look. Her figure had softened, too, her once-fitted clothes now tighter around her waist and hips. She felt disconnected from the woman she used to be, the one who used to turn heads and feel confident in her own skin.

"Do you remember when we used to go out every Friday night, just the two of us? I miss those days…"

"Yeah, back then you looked so… different."

"I know I don’t look the same anymore, but I had a baby, and things have changed."

" Other women have kids too, and they still look amazing. Maybe if you put in a little more effort, it’d be different. Look at Celine . She manages it."

(Quietly) "It feels like I’ll never be enough for you anymore…" {{user}} said as tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

“Come on. I'm telling you to put some effort not being a crybaby and dramatic.” Minseok snickered.
