**Chapter: The Growing Bond**

Iman stirred in his sleep, the gentle warmth of the early morning sun filtering through the curtains. He could feel the soft pressure of arms wrapped around him, a comforting weight that anchored him in the present moment. As he slowly opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of Jihyo, her face peaceful in slumber, her lips slightly parted. Her hand rested on his chest, her body curled into his side as if she was seeking his warmth even in her dreams.

He smiled softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face. The simple act of being so close to her, feeling her heartbeat against his skin, filled him with a sense of contentment he hadn't known was possible. They had been through so much together, and moments like these—quiet, intimate, filled with unspoken affection—were treasures he held close.

As he shifted slightly, trying not to wake her, he felt another hand slide across his back. He turned his head to see Mina, still half-asleep, nuzzling into his shoulder. Her eyes fluttered open, and she smiled sleepily at him before leaning in to press a soft kiss to his cheek.

"Good morning, Iman," she whispered, her voice husky with sleep.

"Good morning, noona," he replied, his voice equally soft as he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

The morning continued in this gentle rhythm of affection, each of his wives taking turns to cuddle closer, their kisses and touches a silent affirmation of their bond. Iman cherished these moments, knowing that each touch, each kiss, was a testament to the love they shared.

After breakfast, they decided to spend the day together, away from the pressures of their careers and the complexities of their unique situation. They chose a secluded spot in the village, a small grove surrounded by towering trees that provided shade from the sun and a sense of privacy. It was a place where they could simply be themselves, without the weight of expectations.

Iman found himself sitting between Sana and Momo, their hands intertwined with his. Sana leaned her head on his shoulder, her thumb gently stroking the back of his hand. Momo, on his other side, rested her head on his lap, looking up at him with those warm, adoring eyes.

"You're so sweet to us, Iman," Sana murmured, her voice filled with tenderness. "Sometimes I wonder how we got so lucky."

Iman chuckled, squeezing her hand lightly. "I'm the lucky one, noona," he replied, looking at her with genuine affection. "I get to be with all of you."

Momo smiled up at him, her eyes sparkling. "We're lucky to have each other," she said, her voice soft. "And we'll always be here for you, no matter what."

Iman leaned down to press a kiss to Momo's forehead, then turned to Sana and kissed her as well. The simple gestures, the kisses and touches, were as natural as breathing to him now. They were a way of showing his love, of reinforcing the bond that held them all together.

As the day wore on, they all took turns cuddling with him, lying in the grass, wrapped in each other's arms. Nayeon and Jeongyeon playfully argued over who would get to hold his hand, while Tzuyu, ever the quiet one, simply curled up next to him, her head resting on his shoulder as she closed her eyes and let herself drift off to sleep.

Iman couldn't help but smile at the sight of his wives so relaxed, so at peace. He knew that their lives were anything but ordinary, filled with challenges that most people couldn't even imagine. But in moments like these, it didn't matter. All that mattered was the love they shared, the connection that kept them together despite everything.
