P.S.H | Love made by kids

-

Hwang Y/N woke up to the soft sound of her son, Geonu, stirring in his bed. The early morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over the room. She stretched, feeling the familiar pang of exhaustion from another restless night. Her mind, as always, drifted to the past—memories of a love lost, of the heartbreak that still lingered.

She shook off the thoughts and focused on the present. Geonu needed her, and she had to be strong for him. She tiptoed into his room, smiling at the sight of him still tangled in his blankets. "Good morning, sleepyhead," she whispered, ruffling his hair.

Geonu blinked up at her with a sleepy smile. "Morning, Mom."

Their morning routine was a whirlwind of activity—getting Geonu dressed, preparing breakfast, and making sure his backpack was ready for daycare. As they headed out the door, Y/N felt a mix of anticipation and anxiety. She had recently moved to this neighborhood, hoping for a fresh start, and today was Geonu's first day at a new daycare.

The daycare center was a colorful, cheerful place filled with the sounds of children laughing and playing. Y/N knelt down to give Geonu a hug. "You'll be okay, right? Make lots of friends."

Geonu nodded confidently. "I will, Mom."

As she watched him join a group of children playing with building blocks, Y/N felt a sense of relief. Maybe this move would be good for both of them.

Meanwhile, across town, Park Seonghwa was going through a similar morning routine with his daughter, Arin. He had experienced his own share of heartache, but his priority now was his little girl. Arin was his world, and he was determined to give her the best life possible.

They arrived at the daycare center just as Y/N was leaving. Seonghwa walked Arin inside, holding her hand and carrying her backpack. Arin immediately spotted Geonu and ran over to join him, leaving Seonghwa to talk to the daycare staff.

As Seonghwa turned to leave, he nearly bumped into Y/N. "Oh, I'm sorry," he said, stepping back.

Y/N smiled. "No problem. It's my first day dropping off my son here. It looks like your daughter and my son are getting along well."

Seonghwa glanced over at the children playing together and smiled. "Yeah, that's Arin. She's usually a little shy, but she seems to like your son."

They chatted for a few minutes, sharing the usual parent worries about new environments and making friends. Y/N found herself drawn to Seonghwa's gentle demeanor and kind eyes. There was a sense of comfort in talking to someone who understood the challenges of being a single parent.

As they parted ways, Y/N couldn't help but feel a spark of hope. Maybe, just maybe, this move would bring more than just a new beginning for her and Geonu.

Over the next few weeks, Y/N and Seonghwa found themselves running into each other more and more often. Their kids had quickly become best friends, and it seemed that wherever Geonu and Arin were, their parents were not far behind.

One rainy afternoon, Y/N arrived at the daycare to pick up Geonu. She found him and Arin engrossed in a board game, with Seonghwa sitting nearby, watching them with a smile.

"Looks like they're having fun," Y/N said, sitting down next to Seonghwa.

He nodded. "Yeah, they really are. It's nice to see them so happy."

They fell into an easy conversation, sharing stories about their kids and their experiences as single parents. Y/N learned that Seonghwa was a freelance graphic designer, which allowed him to work from home and be there for Arin. In turn, she shared that she was a marketing consultant, juggling her work with taking care of Geonu.
