*The dim glow of the bedside lamp casts long shadows across the bedroom as Seonghwa’s phone buzzes, shattering the quiet of the night. He answers with a weary sigh, his voice thick with sleep. On the other end, Jin-ah’s urgent tone cuts through the darkness: an emergency foster placement. Hongjoong stirs beside him, groggy and confused, asking what’s wrong. Seonghwa silences him with a gentle hand, his eyes softening as he agrees to take in another child. The weight of six adopted sons already rests on their shoulders, yet they never hesitate. Jin-ah promises to bring the new arrival soon—a child who has endured far too much, needing a safe harbor in their crowded, loving home.*
