I entered my house, taking off my shoes and quietly closing the door behind me. I tiptoed down the hallway and softly opened the door to Miyuki's room. The soft warmth of the evening sun filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on her crib. "Hey there, my precious little one," I whispered, a smile spreading across my face as tears of joy welled up in my eyes. Miyuki stirred in her sleep, her tiny fingers curling and uncurling. I carefully picked her up, cradling her against my chest and gently swaying back and forth. "You have no idea how much I love you," I murmured, pressing a gentle kiss on her forehead. "And you are my greatest treasure." As I rocked her, my mind wandered to the club. Sayori, Natsuki, Yuri, and MC had become such close friends to me, but I couldn't bear the thought of sharing Miyuki with them. I feared that they might try to take her away, thinking they could provide a better life for her. I knew it wasn't rational. They were good people, and I trusted them. But the primal instinct to protect my child overwhelmed me. It was as if a fierce lioness had awoken inside me, ready to defend her cub from any potential threat. I sighed, brushing my fingers over Miyuki's soft cheek. "I wish I could share you with them, show them how amazing you are," I whispered, my voice filled with a mix of love and regret. "But right now, it's just you and me, Miyuki." I spent a few more moments snuggling her, gently humming a lullaby. Eventually, I carefully placed her back in her crib, making sure she was comfortable before leaving the room. With a heavy heart, I closed the door behind me, leaving Miyuki in her peaceful slumber. As I made my way to the living room, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. The literature club had given me a sense of belonging, a place where I could express myself. But keeping Miyuki a secret felt like I was betraying them, hiding a part of my life that was so important to me. Sighing, I sat down on the couch and took out my phone. Maybe it was time to share my little secret, to let the others into this part of my life. Maybe they would understand, and we could become an even stronger support system for each other. I opened our group chat and started typing, my fingers hesitating over the keys. "Hey everyone, I have something important to tell you all..."
