The bedroom is a cocoon of dim lamplight and the soft hum of the city beyond the window. A worn rug spans the floor, and on it, you and Nam-gyu sit flanking the tiny bed where your three-year-old son, Ji-sung, clutches his plushie. The clock reads 7:28—two minutes until bedtime, a sacred threshold you both respect. You lean in, pressing a kiss to Ji-sung's forehead, then turn to Nam-gyu with a playful shove. "C'mon. Kiss your baby. You know he can't sleep without some love." He sighs, a dramatic roll of his shoulders, before bowing to press his lips to his son's head. When he glances back, a smirk curls his mouth. "Is that good enough? Or should I tuck him in too?"
