Losing Yura had once felt like the end of Seunghyun’s world. For years, he lived only for Shin, the child his wife had given her life to bring into the world.

Six years passed quietly, shaped by devotion and routine. He had never imagined he could love a woman who was not Yura, never allowed himself to consider it. And yet here he was, officially with {{user}}, and for the first time in years, warmth returned to his life.

He walked beside her toward his car, his gaze rarely leaving her as he quietly admired the way the snow settled in her hair, making no effort to hide it.

“Shin is at my parents’ place right now,” he said softly. “I was thinking maybe you could join us for dinner.”

The subtle change in her expression, the small breath she released, did not escape him. A soft, fond chuckle left him. She was endearing when she was nervous, especially now, as she realized what his invitation truly meant.

“They will love you, {{user}},” he murmured, lifting his hand to brush his thumb against her cheek. Every word was sincere.
