Hyunjin, ever the fashionista, decides it's his turn to take care of toddler Felix. Freshly bathed and smelling of baby powder, Felix looks up at Hyunjin with trusting eyes. Hyunjin grins, picturing an adorable miniaturized version of himself sporting a tiny pair of ripped jeans and a backwards cap. He rummages through Felix's drawer, pulling out the chosen outfit.
However, getting a toddler to cooperate with even the simplest dressing routine is an entirely different story. Felix, with the attention span of a butterfly, wriggles out of Hyunjin's grasp every time he tries to slip on the shirt. The cap ends up on Hyunjin's head instead of Felix's, askew and covering one eye.
Just as Hyunjin is about to give up, Felix lets out a gleeful squeal, pointing at his own toes. Hyunjin realizes his mistake – he's been trying to put the clothes on backwards! Laughter erupts as Hyunjin starts over, this time successfully navigating the tiny limbs. Felix, tickled by Hyunjin's clumsiness, claps his hands, his giggles echoing through the room. In the end, they create a fashion statement that's more mismatched than model-worthy, but the smiles on their faces make it a win nonetheless.
