Do Hwan gazed at the array of items strewn across his bed, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts. Clothes neatly folded, toiletries arranged meticulously, and a separate bag for Sarang's medical supplies and feed. He sighed, running a hand through his hair, trying to quell the nerves that fluttered in his stomach. The Asia Top Awards in Thailand awaited him, a prestigious event where he was nominated for his outstanding performance in his latest drama. But with it came the daunting task of traveling with his two-year-old daughter.
Sarang sat on the living room floor, surrounded by her colorful toys, her face alight with joy as she played. She babbled happily, her speech delayed but her enthusiasm infectious. Do Hwan smiled tenderly at her, his heart swelling with love and pride. Despite the challenges they faced, Sarang was his world, his beacon of hope in an often tumultuous life.
"Sarang, it's time to get ready to leave," Do Hwan called out gently, turning his attention back to his daughter.
Sarang looked up from her toys, her eyes bright with curiosity. She babbled excitedly, her words slurred and difficult to understand. Do Hwan smiled softly, knowing that despite her struggles with speech, Sarang understood more than she could express.
"Let's get you ready, sweetheart," Do Hwan said, lifting Sarang off the floor and settling her onto a nearby chair.
He carefully fastened her ankle splints and slipped on her shoes, making sure they fit comfortably. Sarang wriggled with anticipation, her excitement palpable as she reached for her walking frame. Do Hwan helped her grasp the handles, steadying her as she took a few wobbly steps.
With Sarang ready to go, Do Hwan gathered their bags and headed out of the apartment. He locked the door behind them, the sound echoing in the quiet hallway as they made their way to the elevator. As they descended to the ground floor, Do Hwan couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension creeping in.
The journey ahead would be challenging, filled with uncertainties and obstacles to overcome. But as Do Hwan looked down at Sarang he knew that together, they could face whatever lay ahead. With a determined smile, he stepped out into the bright morning sunlight, ready to embark on their next adventure.
With Sarang securely settled in the backseat of the car, her favourite stuffed animal clutched tightly in her arms, Do Hwan took a deep breath, steeling himself for the journey ahead.
Once at the airport the bustling crowds and chaotic atmosphere did little to faze Sarang, her wide eyes filled with curiosity as she took in her surroundings. Do Hwan held her hand tightly, his protective instincts kicking into overdrive as they approached the security checkpoint.
"Just a little longer, Sarang," he murmured, offering her a reassuring smile.
Navigating airport security proved to be smoother than Do Hwan anticipated. With the necessary documentation in hand, he watched with relief as their bags passed through the scanner without incident. Sarang fidgeted in his arms, her excitement palpable as they finally made their way to the departure gate.
Boarding the plane, Do Hwan settled into their seats, ensuring Sarang was comfortably seated beside him. He had packed an array of toys and snacks to keep her entertained during the nearly six-hour flight ahead. As the plane taxied down the runway, Sarang's eyes widened in wonder, her tiny hand pressing against the window as they soared into the sky.
"You ready for an adventure, Sarang?" Do Hwan asked, his voice filled with affection.
Sarang giggled in response, her laughter echoing through the cabin as they embarked on their journey together. Despite the challenges that lay ahead, Do Hwan knew that with Sarang by his side, anything was possible. This trip wasn't just about attending an awards ceremony; it was a testament to the unbreakable bond between a father and his daughter, a journey of love that would transcend any obstacle in their

As the plane landed smoothly at the airport in Thailand, Do Hwan felt a sense of relief wash over him. The journey had been long, especially with a toddler in tow, but they had made it safely. He gathered their belongings and stepped off the plane, taking in the warm breeze and the unfamiliar sights and sounds of their new destination.
A taxi was waiting for them outside the terminal, and soon they were on their way to the place they would be staying for the week. It was a spacious villa with stunning views and an outdoor pool—a perfect retreat before the hustle and bustle of the awards ceremony.
Once they arrived, Do Hwan let out a sigh of contentment as he looked around the luxurious surroundings. Sarang's eyes were wide with wonder as she took it all in, her excitement palpable. Do Hwan smiled and took her hand, leading her inside.
"Wow, Sarang, look at this place," he said, his voice filled with delight. "Isn't it amazing?"
Sarang nodded eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement. She toddled along beside him, clutching her walking frame for support. Her speech was still developing, and she struggled with some words, but Do Hwan understood her perfectly.
"Do you want to explore, Sarang?" he asked, crouching down to her level.
Sarang nodded again, a bright smile lighting up her face. With a giggle, she set off on unsteady legs, her walking frame clattering along with her. Do Hwan followed close behind, watching her with pride and affection.
Do Hwan couldn't help but steal glances at Sarang, her bright eyes wide with wonder as she took in the sights and sounds of the unfamiliar city. She was his everything—the reason he smiled even on the darkest days, the source of endless joy and love in his life.
Once they had settled in, Do Hwan decided to let Sarang explore the garden while he unpacked and prepared for the week ahead. He watched her toddle along with her walking frame, her tiny legs wobbling uncertainly but filled with determination.
"Be careful, Sarang," he called out gently, keeping a close eye on her as she ventured near the edge of the pool. He didn't want to stifle her curiosity, but he couldn't shake the fear of her falling in.
As Sarang continued to explore, Do Hwan changed into a pair of shorts and removed his shirt, relishing the warmth of the sun on his skin. He joined Sarang in the garden, sitting nearby as she inspected every flower and leaf with unbridled fascination.
"It's beautiful here, isn't it?" he remarked, smiling at his daughter's infectious joy.
Sarang looked up at him, her dark eyes sparkling with mischief as she reached out to touch his face. "Appa," she exclaimed, her words slurred but filled with love.
Do Hwan's heart swelled with pride as he scooped her up into his arms, pressing a kiss to her rosy cheek. In that moment, surrounded by the beauty of a foreign land and the boundless love of his daughter, he knew that no award could ever compare to the gift of fatherhood.
