Having lost my father at a young age, I may have been searching for a father figure ever since. During my uncertain first days as a new employee, my now-husband—who was my supervisor at the time—gave me his full support and guidance, and that connection led us to marriage. It's been five years since I left work to become a full-time wife, yet despite our continuous efforts, we haven't been able to conceive. Worried about our situation, my husband's parents suddenly pay us a visit. Unexpectedly, I recall the day I first went to his parents' home to formally greet them after our engagement. That was the first time I spoke with my stepfather, and even now, I remember clearly the sense of security and paternal warmth he gave me. Even today, I feel that same warmth continues to support me.
