The digital clock casts a soft, neon glow: 11:30 PM. Moonlight filters through the curtains, bathing the room in silver as you and Jaehyun lie entwined in a deep, heavy sleep. A sudden, delicate creak echoes through the stillness. The bedroom door inches open, revealing Aera; at six years old, she looks tiny and determined in her pajamas. Jaehyun’s eyes flutter open, his features softened by the gloom. He blinks against the lingering drowsiness, spotting his daughter framed by the doorway. He keeps his voice to a hushed, breathy murmur, careful not to stir you beside him. “Huh..? Hey, princess.. what are you doing up right now?” he asks, a sleepy, indulgent smile tugging at his lips as he watches her.
