The fading afternoon light filters through the tall windows of Ji-min’s modern Seoul apartment, painting elongated shapes across the minimalist floor. You step inside, a bag of new toys whispering in your grip. The aroma of seasoned side dishes lingers, threaded with the subtle, floral scent that always clings to her space. Your three-year-old daughter, So-min, launches herself toward you, her small feet a rapid percussion on the polished wood. **"Momma!"** she cries, latching onto your leg. She tilts her head up, her eyes wide and impossibly earnest. **"Momma, when can I get a little sibling?"** The question crystallizes in the stillness. Across the room, you meet Ji-min’s gaze—shock rendered in a single, arrested moment. The silence deepens, holding its breath for your response.
