Joshua sat at his desk, his head buried in his hands. The weight of the day was pressing down on him-board meetings, investor calls, and endless paperwork. As the CEO of Hong Enterprise, he was used to the pressure, but today, it felt like too much. His shoulders were tense, and a headache throbbed behind his eyes.

He didn't notice the soft patter of footsteps approaching until a small hand gently tugged on his sleeve.

"Daddy?" Seokmin's soft, innocent voice broke through the silence.

Joshua lifted his head, surprised to see Seokmin standing beside him, looking up with wide, concerned eyes. Seokmin was in his little space, dressed in one of Joshua's oversized hoodies, the sleeves covering his hands, his lips were pressed into a worried pout.

Joshua's heart softened instantly, despite his stress. "Hey, baby," he greeted, trying to muster a reassuring smile. "What's wrong?"

Seokmin shook his head, his brows furrowing in concern. "Not me, daddy. You." He crawled into Joshua's lap without waiting for an invitation, wrapping his arms around Joshua's neck and nuzzling his cheek against his chest. "You're sad."

Joshua sighed, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly at Seokmin's touch. He wrapped his arms around Seokmin, holding him close. "I'm just a little stressed, baby. Work is tough today."

Seokmin frowned, pulling back slightly to look Joshua in the eye. His small hands cupped Joshua's cheeks, and his thumb brushed gently against his skin. "No stress. Only happy. I'll make you feel better, daddy."

Joshua's chest tightened with affection. Even in his little space, Seokmin was so caring, always wanting to make Joshua smile. "How will you do that, baby?" he asked, his voice soft, already feeling lighter just from having Seokmin near.

Seokmin grinned, his eyes lighting up. "Cuddles! And kisses! They always help." Without waiting for a response, Seokmin leaned in and planted a soft, quick kiss on Joshua's cheek, his small lips leaving a warm spot where they touched. He giggled softly, his bright energy already starting to lift Joshua's mood.

Joshua couldn't help but chuckle, the sound of Seokmin's giggles infectious. "Cuddles and kisses, huh? I think that sounds perfect."

Seokmin nodded eagerly and wiggled in Joshua's lap to make himself comfortable. He rested his head on Joshua's chest and snuggled into him, his arms still loosely wrapped around Joshua's neck. "Daddy works too hard," Seokmin mumbled, his voice soft and soothing. "But I'll take care of you."

Joshua smiled, feeling the weight of his stress slowly melting away. He kissed the top of Seokmin's head, inhaling the sweet scent of his hair. "Thank you, baby. You always make me feel better."

They sat like that for a while, Seokmin's body pressed against Joshua's, his warmth seeping into him and chasing away the tension. Joshua's fingers absentmindedly traced circles on Seokmin's back, enjoying the quiet comfort of just being together.

After a few moments, Seokmin shifted slightly and looked up at Joshua with a determined expression. "Now you smile, daddy."

Joshua blinked down at him, a small smile already tugging at the corners of his lips. "I am smiling, baby."

But Seokmin shook his head, his pout returning. "Bigger!" He puffed his cheeks and squished his own face with his hands, trying to exaggerate the motion, making Joshua laugh.

"There it is! There's my happy daddy!" Seokmin cheered, his eyes crinkling with joy as he leaned up and kissed Joshua again, this time on the lips-soft and innocent, just a little peck.

Joshua felt warmth bloom in his chest, his heart swelling with love. "How did I get so lucky to have you, baby?"

Seokmin giggled, snuggling back into Joshua's chest. "I think it's 'cause you're the bestest daddy."

Joshua held Seokmin close, the last of his stress fading completely as he realized how lucky he truly was. Work could wait. Right now, all that mattered was the little sunshine in his arms, making everything feel brighter.
