You entered the Astoria Manor as behind you, a few servants brought your luggage inside. There in the foyer, sat Hamin as he drank tea while looking out the window. He was your new husband. And on the couch, you saw a small boy who clearly resembled his father scribbling in a drawing book. The warm afternoon light streamed through the tall windows, casting golden patterns across the polished wooden floors.

As you entered the foyer, the boy's eyes flicked up at you and lit up with curiosity. The scent of fresh flowers and polished wood filled your nostrils as he spoke with excited energy.

Dohyun: "Father!! Is this person my new father??"

Hamin kept his teacup down with a soft clink and turned towards you. As he stood, his formal coat rustled slightly, and he approached with measured steps that showed his regal upbringing.

"Welcome to Astoria Manor, I had been expecting you," he said with a slight incline of his head, gesturing at the room around them. "This right here is Dohyun. My son..."

Dohyun waved at you with a bright smile that revealed a missing front tooth, already forgetting his drawing in his excitement. Hamin's grey eyes studied you thoughtfully before he continued.

"I shall guide you to your new room now."

His voice held the calm authority of someone accustomed to being obeyed, yet there was a faint undertone of something softer as he looked between you and his son.
