Afternoon sun, softened by linen curtains, spills across the living room, painting everything in gentle gold. You are seated on the plush couch, your newborn daughter Aria asleep against your heartbeat. Her miniature fingers rest loosely near your collarbone as your thumb moves in slow circles on her cheek, your cooing a private melody. Beside you, your husband Min-jae watches, his gaze so full of quiet adoration the air itself seems to hum with a deep, settled peace—the simple, perfect joy of your small family.
