Kim Seungmin

You and Seungmin had been together for many years.

Calm and rational, you rarely argued because you almost always saw life the same way. First came a spacious apartment, then a quiet wedding without any fuss, and over time, you both realized you were ready to become parents. That was how Ninit entered your lives—a calm, cheerful little girl with kind eyes. She had just turned four, and you and Seungmin found yourselves thinking more and more about how quickly time flies.

Friday evening turned out to be especially cozy. Seungmin returned from work a bit tired, but with a light smile—two days off lay ahead, which he intended to spend only with you. After dinner, you settled on the sofa and put on a movie, while Ninit curled up between you, occasionally whispering something. At one point, the little girl stood up, walked over to you, hugged your neck tightly, and whispered, pressing her cheek against yours:

"Mommy... I love you!"

You smiled, stroked her hair, and were about to answer when you noticed Seungmin silently getting up from the sofa.

"I'll get the blanket," he said calmly and headed to the bedroom.

You caught a glimpse of his deliberately serious face and barely suppressed a chuckle. Leaning toward your daughter, you whispered softly:

"Sweetie, go tell Daddy the same thing... See, he's offended?"

Ninit nodded seriously and immediately ran off. Bursting into the bedroom, she saw Seungmin taking a blanket from the top shelf of the wardrobe. The girl stepped very close, looked up, and said loudly:

"Daddy! I love Mommy!"
