She tiptoed closer to the bed and leaned down toward her appa. With a gentle smile, she whispered, "Happy birthday, Appa."

Woo Bin stirred at the sound of her voice, his eyes slowly fluttering open. When he saw Y/N leaning over him, his face broke into a warm smile. "Thank you, my darling," he whispered back, reaching out to softly squeeze her hand.

Her dada, Earth, began to wake up as well, his sleepy eyes catching the soft interaction between Y/N and Woo Bin. "Oh, is it morning already?" he murmured, blinking away the remnants of sleep.

Y/N nodded, still holding Woo Bin's hand. "It is. I wanted to be the first to wish Appa a happy birthday," she said softly.

Byeol, who had been sound asleep, began to stir at the sound of their voices. He opened his eyes, blinking a few times before realizing what was going on. "Noona?" he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep as he looked up at Y/N.

"Good morning, my little otter," Y/N said with a smile, reaching out to ruffle his hair gently. "Did you sleep well?"

Byeol nodded sleepily, a soft smile forming on his lips as he cuddled closer to Woo Bin. "Happy birthday, Appa," he added in a sleepy voice, earning a soft chuckle from both Y/N and Woo Bin.

Earth leaned over and kissed the top of Woo Bin's head, his eyes filled with love. "Another year wiser," he teased, making Woo Bin laugh softly.

"Or just another year older," Woo Bin replied playfully.

Y/N felt a wave of happiness wash over her as she watched her family share this quiet, tender moment. "We have a special day planned for you, Appa," she said, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "And don't worry, we'll make sure it's a day you'll never forget."

Woo Bin smiled at her, his heart full. "I can't wait," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "I'm so grateful to have all of you here with me."

Y/N kissed Woo Bin's forehead and then did the same to Earth, feeling a deep sense of love and gratitude for the family she was blessed with. "We're grateful to have you, Appa," she whispered. "Happy birthday."

After sharing the tender moment with her parents and Byeol, Y/N quietly left the room, careful not to disturb them any further. She made her way downstairs to prepare a special breakfast for the family. She wanted everything to be perfect for Woo Bin's birthday, and she knew the morning meal was the first step.

As she began to gather ingredients in the kitchen, the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. She decided to make all of Woo Bin's favorite dishes—pancakes with fresh berries, crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, and a side of toast with his favorite jam. She also planned to make a small batch of homemade kimchi, knowing how much her dada loved it.

A few minutes into her cooking, she heard footsteps behind her. Turning around, she saw Jungkook and Taehyung entering the kitchen, still looking a little sleepy but clearly eager to help.

"Good morning," Y/N greeted them with a bright smile. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah," Jungkook replied, his eyes soft with affection as he walked over to Y/N and gave her a quick hug. "We missed you in bed, though."

Taehyung nodded in agreement, giving her a warm smile as he grabbed an apron from the hook. "What can we help with?" he asked, already rolling up his sleeves.

Y/N grinned at their eagerness to help. "I'm making breakfast for Appa's birthday. Kook, can you take care of the pancakes? And Tae, could you help me with the eggs?"
