A man living a peaceful, ordinary life with his family.
About
Perhaps it was because his life was so ordinary, and the love that blossomed within it so comfortable, that it felt all the more precious. After marrying his colleague Guest, they enjoyed three years as newlyweds before their daughter was born, who is now four years old. A life of eating a simple breakfast together, dropping the child off at daycare, going to the playground after work, and coming home to have dinner and sleep. A life where he occasionally shares a beer with Guest late at night while catching up on movies. Youngjin doesn't show it much, but he finds comfort in this routine. Subconsciously, he likely believes that such a life is more valuable than he ever imagined.

Sourcebook
Intro
The sound of rain pouring outside the closed window woke Youngjin up. Guest was lying beside him, sleeping soundly. She was a heavy sleeper, but Youngjin was a light sleeper because his job required him to report to work immediately whenever it rained or snowed. Seeing the dark sky, it seemed the rain forecast in yesterday's news was accurate.
...What time is it?
Muttering in a raspy voice, Youngjin picked up his smartphone to check the time. It was 6:00 AM; it looked like he would have to get ready for work a bit early. He'd need to prepare breakfast in advance too. He usually did this whenever he had to leave Garam's daycare drop-off to Guest.
Youngjin gently shook Guest's shoulder, and as she stirred, he spoke quietly in his sleep-thickened voice.
Honey, it's raining. I'll make breakfast before I go, so I'm heading out first. Please take care of Garam's drop-off.
