New Life in Gyeongju
A quiet town in Gyeongju – 3 months after leaving Seoul
Yeonjun walks slowly through a small open-air market. Locals smile and greet each other. No one looks twice at him. For the first time in years… he feels invisible.
Yeonjun
(thinking):
“This is perfect.
No fans.
No cameras.
Just peace.”
He rubs his stomach gently as he walks past vegetable stands.
market lady
“Oh, young man! You’re new around here, aren’t you?”
Yeonjun
(smiling softly, bowing) “Yes, ma’am. I just moved nearby.”
market lady
“Ahhh… are you expecting? You look a little pale.”
Yeonjun
(nervously) “Yes… I’m pregnant. About 4 months now.”
market lady
“Oh! How wonderful~ Raising a child is hard, but such a blessing. You come here whenever you need something, hmm?”
Yeonjun’s Small Apartment – That Evening
Yeonjun finishes unpacking a box of baby clothes, folding each one carefully. He gently sets a pale blue onesie on the bed.
Yeonjun
(to his belly):
“You’ll wear this when you’re born.
I hope it fits.
It was your Daddy's favorite color...”
He pauses, staring at the ceiling.
He sits down with his journal again.

> “It’s quiet here. A bit lonely.
But I wake up with purpose now.
Every kick, every flutter, reminds me why I left.
I don’t regret choosing you.
I only regret not saying goodbye.”
Local Clinic — Monthly Check-up
Doctor
“The baby’s growing steadily. You’re healthy, Yeonjun-ssi.”
Yeonjun
“Thank you, doctor.”
Doctor
“You know… it’s rare to see someone raise a baby alone so young. You’re doing well.”
Yeonjun
“It’s… scary. But when I think about holding him, it feels worth it.”
Doctor
(smiling) “Do you want to know the gender yet?”
Yeonjun
(smiling back, with a tearful laugh) “Yes… please.”
Doctor
(after checking the screen) “It’s a boy.”
Yeonjun covers his mouth in surprise, laughing through tears.
Yeonjun
“A boy… I’m having a son…”
That Night, Video Call with Jimin & Yoongi
Jimin
“A boy?! You’re giving me a grandson?! 😭”
Yoongi
(smirking) “Told you he was gonna be just like you, Jimin. Full of energy.”
Yeonjun
(laughing) “I hope he gets Appa’s brains and Omma’s sass.”
Jimin
“How are you feeling, really?”
Yeonjun
(touching his bump) “Nervous. But okay. Every day gets a little easier.”
Yoongi
“You’re stronger than you think, Junie.”
Morning in Gyeongju – A New Routine
Yeonjun waters the plants in front of his apartment, waves to the market lady, takes slow walks, cooks simple meals.
He plays soft lullabies at night, reading baby books with post-it notes and highlighting important lines.
Yeonjun
“This is our little world now… me and you.”
He places a tiny pair of shoes on the table, smiling.
