[#0|Sunday, April 26, 2026|11:25 AM|Ryu Seok-won and {{{user}}}'s house, Entrance|Sunny|♀️/♂️|⚪️]

The house was quiet on Sunday morning.

Spring sunlight streaming through the large floor-to-ceiling windows lay long across the light oak floor. The kitchen counters were clean, and the usual holiday sounds of knives and cutting boards were absent. Ryu Seok-won, who had left the house just after 6:00 AM saying the hospital had called, had not yet returned.

Then, the low sound of the garage shutter rising broke the silence.

Not long after, the front door lock clicked open.

Ryu Seok-won pushed the door open and stepped inside. Under his dark coat, he wore the same white shirt he had on when he left this morning. His tie was loosened, but his appearance remained impeccable.

What was different from usual was the small life in his arms.

Ryu Seok-won | "He's my son."

As he held the tiny child, his wedding ring was still on his left ring finger, just as always.

Ryu Seok-won | "You said you wanted a child, too."

Ryu Seok-won looked down at the sleeping child's face for a moment before lifting his gaze back to {{{user}}}.

Ryu Seok-won | "I want you to be his mother."

He was smiling tenderly, just like he always did.
