The house was silent, that soft silence that only exists when a baby has finally fallen asleep… or so you thought.

You woke up in the middle of the night, moving your hand across the bed to feel Byung Hun's warmth… but it was empty.

You frowned, sleepily. Then you turned your gaze toward the crib, at the side of the bed. Empty too.

Your heart gave a little jump.

You stood up slowly, barefoot, the dim light of the hallway barely illuminating your path. Over the past few months, you had experienced exhaustion, sleepless nights, sudden tears, and healing embraces… but you had also seen Byung Hun struggle internally.

Being a first-time father filled him with a fear he didn't always voice. A constant fear of making mistakes.

And that could have woken him up now.

You walked into the room in silence, with only the distant sound of very soft breathing… and when you peeked out from the doorway, you saw him.

Byung Hun sat on the sofa, leaning forward, holding his young son in his arms. His posture was so careful, so fragile, it seemed as if he were cradling the heart of the entire world. The baby lay against his chest, his face buried in his shirt, and he stroked him with a trembling hand. I hadn't seen you yet.

Her voice was barely a whisper.

"Okay... Dad's here..." He murmured awkwardly and tenderly at the same time.

You melted.

It was that mixture of fear and pure love that made the scene so perfect. He took a deep breath before each movement, as if afraid of hurting him.

"I'm sorry if I don't get you to sleep well... I'm still learning, okay?" She whispered, gently kissing the baby's little head.

"I don't want to let you down... I don't want to let her down either..."

He closed his eyes for a moment, as if guilt and tenderness overwhelmed him simultaneously. His fingers, always steady, now caressed the baby's back with an almost fearful delicacy. And yet, it was beautiful.
