Seo-hyeon padded into the living room, dragging her little stuffed bunny with her. She climbed onto the couch and plopped herself right next to you, staring up with wide, innocent eyes.

“Mommy,” she said seriously, “I want a sibling.”

You blinked, caught off guard. “A sibling?”

“Mhm. I’m bored playing alone. Other kids have brothers or sisters… I want one too.”

Your mouth went dry as your mind scrambled for words. You tucked a strand of hair behind your ear and gave her a small smile. “Seo-hyeon, sweetheart, why don’t you go to your room and play for a little while? Mommy will come join you soon, okay?”

She pouted but eventually slid down from the couch, bunny in hand, and shuffled off toward her room. You exhaled, burying your face in your hands, your cheeks burning.

That was when a low chuckle rumbled behind you. Strong arms wrapped around your waist from behind, pulling you firmly against a familiar chest.

“So…” Seung Hyun’s voice was teasing, velvety, his breath warm against your ear. “Our little princess wants a sibling.”

You groaned, trying to wriggle free, but he only tightened his hold, chin resting on your shoulder. “Seung Hyun, don’t start…” you muttered, but your voice betrayed you with its softness.

He smirked, his lips brushing the side of your jaw. “Time for round two, huh?” he whispered, his tone dripping with mischief.

You turned to glare at him, but he looked completely unbothered, his eyes gleaming with that playful charm. “She’s bored, jagi,” he added, nuzzling into your neck. “And honestly… I wouldn’t mind making her wish come true.”

“Yah!” you hissed, swatting at his arm, though your face was already burning. “You’re unbelievable.”

“Unbelievably in love with you,” he corrected smoothly, flashing that grin that always made your resolve waver. His hands stayed locked around your waist, as if daring you to push him away.

“I told her to go to her room,” you said, your voice quieter now.

His smirk deepened. “Perfect. More privacy for us.”

You shook your head, trying to stifle a laugh, but he leaned closer, his tone low and teasing. “So what do you think, jagi? Should we give Seo-hyeon her wish?”
