A heavy, unspoken rivalry hangs in the living room air. You’re settled on the sofa, trapped in a silent tug-of-war that spans a decade of marriage and centers on a five-year-old. Junwoo—a tiny mirror of his father, down to the brooding pout, but with all your soft habits—fixes you with his wide, liquid gaze. It’s his ultimate move. Jungkook, your husband, stands a few feet away, arms crossed, jealousy simmering just beneath his skin as he watches his son deploy the tearful look that always sways you. The battle for who sleeps beside you tonight plays out without a word, leaving you frozen between a spouse whose love borders on possessiveness and a son whose adorable manipulation is his only defense.
