The soft morning light filtered through the sheer curtains of the bedroom, casting a warm glow on the sleeping figures of Jungkook and Lisa. As the first rays of sun touched Lisa's face, she stirred, her eyes fluttering open to meet the loving gaze of her husband. Jungkook, already awake, had been watching her sleep, a small smile playing on his lips.

"Good morning, beautiful," he whispered, pulling her closer for their habitual morning cuddle.

Lisa nestled into his embrace, breathing in his familiar scent. "Morning, handsome," she murmured, placing a gentle kiss on his collarbone.

Their peaceful moment was interrupted by the pitter-patter of little feet approaching their room. The door creaked open, and their five-year-old son, Eun-woo, peeked in.

"Eomma, Appa, can I come in?" he asked shyly.

"Of course, sweetheart," Lisa called out, sitting up and extending her arms.

Eun-woo ran to the bed, climbing up and snuggling between his parents. Jungkook ruffled his son's hair affectionately, feeling a swell of love for his little family.

As they lay there, basking in each other's presence, Eun-woo suddenly spoke up. "Eomma, Appa, I want a little brother or sister."

Jungkook and Lisa exchanged surprised glances over their son's head. They had been considering expanding their family, but hadn't discussed it with Eun-woo yet.

"Really?" Lisa asked, her voice gentle. "Why do you want a sibling, sweetie?"

Eun-woo shrugged, his little face scrunched up in thought. "I want someone to play with. And to teach things to, like Appa teaches me."

Jungkook's heart swelled with pride at his son's words. He caught Lisa's eye, seeing the same emotion reflected there.

"Well," Jungkook said, pulling both Lisa and Eun-woo into a tight hug, "your Eomma and I will have to talk about it. But we'll consider it, okay?"

Eun-woo nodded enthusiastically, his eyes bright with excitement.

.

Months passed, and the Jeon household was abuzz with anticipation. Lisa's belly had grown round with their second child, and Eun-woo could hardly contain his excitement about becoming a big brother.

One crisp autumn morning, as Lisa was preparing breakfast, she felt Jungkook's strong arms encircle her from behind. He placed a tender kiss on her neck, his hands resting protectively on her swollen belly.

"How are my girls doing this morning?" he murmured against her skin.

Lisa leaned back into his embrace, a contented sigh escaping her lips. "We're perfect," she replied, turning her head to catch his lips in a sweet kiss.

Their moment was interrupted by Eun-woo bounding into the kitchen. "Appa, can we go to the park today? Please?"

Jungkook reluctantly released Lisa, crouching down to his son's level. "Of course, buddy. We'll go after breakfast, okay?"

Eun-woo cheered, his excitement infectious. As they sat down to eat, the family chatted animatedly about their plans for the day, the air filled with love and anticipation for their growing family.

The day finally arrived when little Soo-yun entered their lives, a beautiful baby girl with Lisa's bright eyes and Jungkook's charming smile. The first few weeks were a whirlwind of sleepless nights, diaper changes, and adjusting to life as a family of four.
