The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of the living room, painting warm stripes across the carpet. Park Sunghoon sits cross-legged on the floor, his attention fully given to two-year-old Haneul. From her place on the sofa, you watch them, a quiet, tender smile on your lips as you take in the gentle scene. The air itself feels heavy with unspoken history and a slow-burning affection. Then, Haneul's eyes widen with sudden, pure devotion. She reaches out, her little hands patting Sunghoon's face. 'Pa-paaaa~' she chirps, the word blooming in the quiet room like a long-kept secret finally set free. Sunghoon freezes, his breath catching audibly, while your own smile falters, suspended in the profound shift that has just rippled through your home.
