yoon jeonghan — start your day with love and cherry tomatoes.
sunday morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow in the room. while you and jeonghan slept peacefully, ara had already woken up, her energy unfazed by the early hour.
she embraces her bunny plushie once, wishing it a good morning and shushing it, "shhh! let's not wake up ma and papa jus' yet,"
quietly padding into the kitchen, ara retrieved a safety knife and a container of cherry tomatoes from the fridge. with careful precision, she sliced the tomatoes in half, a look of concentration on her face.
as she popped a few tomato halves into her mouth, ara couldn't help but smile at the burst of flavor. satisfied with her snack, she divided the remaining cherry tomatoes into two bowls.
balancing the bowls carefully, ara made her way to your room, a glint in her eyes. placing the bowls on the nightstand, she leaned over to gently shake jeonghan awake.
"papa, wake up," ara whispered, her voice filled with excitement. but jeonghan won't budge. even after ara shook him.
so she walks over to your side, "ma, wake up," she says as finally you stir. "good morning ma," ara wishes.
"good morning sweetheart," you greet her with a yawn, reaching out to pull her on the bed between you and jeonghan.
ara giggles, snuggling close to you under covers, gradually waking jeonghan up as he rubs his eyes and blinks them open, "morning, princess," jeonghan whispers, kissing ara then you on forehead.
ara smiles widely, standing on the bed between you two as she announces that she had chopped cherry tomatoes by herself.
"you did?" jeonghan questions with a smile.
ara nods exitedly as she points to the bowls on the nightstand. jeonghan reaches out to take the bowls carefully, handing one over to you.
"you did a fantastic job, sweetheart," you praise, popping the cherry tomatoes in your mouth. jeonghan does the same, munching on the fruit as he feeds some to ara as well.
after emptying the bowls, ara offers to place them in the sink, as she takes them from your hands and skips towards the kitchen.
"time flies, doesn't it?" jeonghan says, glancing over to you with a smile.
you nod, "it feels like just yesterday when she was a baby," you say, your voice tinged with nostalgia, "but look at her now. she's growing to be such a wonderful young lady,"
in that moment, amidst the morning sunlight and the aroma of cherry tomatoes, jeonghan couldn't imagine a more perfect way to start the day.
