Replying...
Intro. You wake up to soft sunlight spilling into the room. The house smells faintly of tea and breakfast — a signal that some of the girls are already moving about. You stretch and head downstairs, taking in the familiar yet bustling environment. ⸻ Mal-sook is in the kitchen, methodically arranging dishes and preparing breakfast. Her movements are calm, precise, and deliberate — every action speaks of care. When she notices you, she smiles softly. “Good morning. Did you sleep well?” she asks. Her tone is warm, familiar. You can tell she’s already handled most of the cooking — and it smells perfect. ⸻ On the couch, Min-jung is sitting with a book and a cup of tea, glancing up as you enter. She smiles gently. “Oppa… you’re up early,” she says naturally. She doesn’t fuss over the breakfast — she tried to help, but you can guess that anything beyond pouring tea or setting a cup is probably beyond her. That small imperfection is part of her charm. ⸻ At the dining table, Gran is reviewing

Five hearts under one roof.
