Where the Sun Finally Rests

Soo Yeon's Point of View

The morning after the world fully embraced us was surreal.

I woke up not to the usual chaos — no alarms screaming deadlines, no stylist’s urgent texts, no frantic calls about rehearsals or appearances. Just the steady, peaceful rhythm of Dora’s breathing beside me.

She lay curled against my side, eyes still closed, face soft in the filtered dawn light. The world outside was moving faster than ever, but in this room, time slowed to a gentle pulse.

I reached over and traced the curve of her cheek with my fingertips, as if memorizing her all over again.

We didn’t need to check the news to know what had happened. The world had already spoken.

But curiosity pulled me to my phone.

Scrolling through the headlines felt like stepping through a tide that had shifted overnight:

“Love Breaks Boundaries — Soo Yeon and Dora Lead a New Era.”

“‘The Kings’ Leader and Artist Dora: Korea’s Most Courageous Couple.”
