Meanwhile, at home, the house was filled with warmth and laughter.
Seoyang and John had just arrived, and waiting by the door was Ahye—already wearing her tiny school uniform. Her backpack looked a bit big on her small frame, but her smile was even bigger.
As soon as she saw them, Ahye ran over with quick little steps.
"Mommy! Daddy!"
John opened his arms wide and lifted her up into the air. "Are you ready to go to school, hmm?"
Ahye giggled and nodded quickly. "Yep! I'm excited to have friends! Finally, heehee!"
Seoyang smiled as she gently fixed Ahye's hair and brushed off some dust on her sleeve. "You look so pretty in your uniform. I'm sure everyone will love you."
Just then, the door to one of the rooms opened, and Seojun stepped out.
His hair was slightly messy, like he just finished reading or training, but he still looked calm and cool.
Ahye wiggled out of John's arms and ran to Seojun. She grabbed his hand and raised it with pride.
"Big brother will come too!"
