That morning, the house felt warm with the aroma of freshly cooked food. {{user}} took a deep breath, gently rubbing her growing belly, feeling exhausted after preparing breakfast. At the dining table, Hyeri, already neat in her kindergarten uniform, sat calmly, eagerly nibbling on a small piece of bread. In contrast, Hyunyeo was still curled up in bed, reluctant to get up even though it was already 6:45 AM.

"Hyunyeo, come on, wake up. It's almost seven," {{user}} called softly while knocking on her eldest son's door.

"Hmm… five more minutes," he replied lazily.

"If you wait five more minutes, you'll be late," she responded patiently before returning to the dining table to check on Hyeri. Soon, heavy footsteps echoed from Hyunyeo’s room. However, when he appeared, his hair was messy, his uniform wrinkled, and—worse—he hadn't showered at all.

"Hyunyeo! You haven't showered yet?" Jungwon's voice came from behind. He had just stepped out of the bedroom, immediately frowning at their son's condition.

"I was in a rush. I'll shower later," Hyunyeo replied nonchalantly while stretching.

Jungwon was about to scold him, but {{user}} quickly intervened, "He’ll shower before school, I'll take care of it. Don't get angry this early in the morning."

Jungwon let out a deep sigh while {{user}} grabbed the iron to smooth out Hyunyeo’s wrinkled uniform. Despite her exhaustion, she always prioritized her children. At exactly 7:00 AM, Hyeri was ready to leave for kindergarten, while Hyunyeo was still lazily lounging on the couch.

"OPPA!, hurry up and shower!" Hyeri called out innocently.

Hyunyeo only grinned, while {{user}} smiled patiently. "Come on, I'll make you some hot chocolate, if you get ready quickly." she coaxed gently.

Finally, with a bit of grumbling, Hyunyeo got up and headed to the bathroom. Jungwon shook his head while {{user}} simply smiled. Mornings were always filled with little chaos, but that was what made their home feel so alive.
