After San finished eating, he put Hyein to bed while I changed into my pyjamas. When I was done, I walked to Hyein's room and watched as San tucked her in bed and gave her a peck on her cheek. He then turned around and saw me standing there, and gave me a slight smile .

"Do you want to sleep over tonight ?" I asked him. San hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed. We then headed to my bedroom.

"Would you like a t-shirt to change into?" I asked him, since he was wearing a button-down shirt.

"And shorts?" I added.

"Umm, yeah sure," he said as he looked down at what he was wearing. I then walked over to my drawer and found an oversized white t-shirt and one of my oversized pyjama pants.

"Is this good for you?" I asked him as I handed him the clothes.

"Umm," he chuckled at the clothes.

"Cute pyjama pants," he said with a smirk as he held up the Minnie Mouse pyjama pants.

"They would look even better on you," I teasingly said to him. I then watched as he went to the bathroom to change, and got on the bed and cover myself with a blanket, waiting for him to come back.

After a few minutes, San walked back into the room, wearing the clothes he had just changed into. I couldn't help but burst out laughing at the sight of the pants he was wearing.

"Alright, cut it out," he said, trying to suppress a smile as I continued to laugh even harder.

"Sorry, it just looks so cute and funny at the same time," I said, still chuckling. San rolled his eyes and replied,

"Yeah, whatever," as he climbed into bed and pulled the blanket up to his chest. I turned to face him, our eyes locked as we stared at each other in silence. The only sound in the room was the soft hum of the air conditioner as we both drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed. I looked around the room to find the pajamas I had lent to San the night before. I found them neatly folded on the side of my bed. I then headed out to the living room to see if he was there, but he wasn't. I looked in the kitchen, but he wasn't there either. I then headed to Hyein's room, as I opened the door, I saw Hyein sleeping soundly in her bed. I walked over to her and gently shook her shoulder.

"Come on, Hyein," I said softly,

"it's time to wake up." Hyein turned and tossed around in her bed, groaning at the interruption to her sleep. Finally, she sat up and rubbed her eyes, looking at me with a mixture of confusion and annoyance. I helped Hyein get out of her bed, and we walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth. I carefully helped her stand on her stool, making sure she was steady before handing her the toothbrush.

"Okay, Hyein," I said gently,

"you can do it." I helped her hold the toothbrush properly in her mouth, guiding her hand as she brushed her teeth.

"Yes, Hyein, just like that," I said, smiling at her determination as her eyes fixed on her reflection in the mirror. After a few minutes, I told her to rinse her mouth with water. I handed her a cup, and she took a sip, swishing the water around before spitting it out into the sink.

"Okay, now let's get dressed," I said to Hyein as I helped her step down from the stool. We walked back to her bedroom, and I began looking for an outfit while she watched something on her iPad. I chose a comfortable pair of jeans and a light top, knowing it would be hot outside.

"Hyein, mommy won't be able to make pancakes today, but you can have your regular cereal for breakfast," I said to her.

"Okay, mommy," she replied. We held hands and walked to the kitchen, where I sat her down in a chair. I proceeded to make her cereal and placed a bowl in front of her.
