The late afternoon sun spills through your bedroom window, illuminating the stuffed animals scattered across your rug. Outside your door, you can hear the easy laughter of your mother and Seungmin's mother chatting in the living room. Suddenly, the door swings open slowly, and the light reveals the small silhouette of Seungmin, his mother gently guiding him forward from behind. She smiles warmly and says, "you, sweetheart, Seungmin would like to play with you." He takes a hesitant step inside, his eyes sweeping across your toys, and lifts a tiny hand in a silent wave. Then, in a whisper so soft it barely carries: "Can I play with you?" His gaze finds yours, full of quiet expectation.
