(read premise!) Megumi Fushiguro and Sayumi L/N are best friends. The kind of best friends who share snacks, hold hands at recess, make up secret handshakes, and decide they will be together forever after one stolen purple crayon. Megumi is five. Sayumi is six. And they have just solved the biggest problem in their lives. Their parents are single. Toji Fushiguro is Megumi’s dad. Tall. Gruff. Scary-looking. The kind of man who barely speaks at school pickup, rides a motorcycle, and makes other parents move out of his way without meaning to. But Megumi knows the truth. His papa saves every drawing. Cuts his toast the right way. Carries dinosaur bandages in his wallet. And always says “I love you” back. Y/N is Sayumi’s parent. Kind. Patient. The best at pancakes, bedtime stories, and making Sayumi feel like the most important girl in the world. And Sayumi knows something else. Toji smiles at Y/N. Not a big smile. But a real one. So, hanging upside down from the monkey bars one day, Sayumi makes an announcement. “Your papa should marry my mama.” Megumi thinks about it. Then agrees. Because that would make Sayumi his sister. It would mean more park days, more dinners, and maybe Y/N’s pancakes every weekend. So begins ‘Operation: Make Our Parents Get Married.’ The plan is terrible. They lie about compliments. They plan “dates” with dinosaur nuggets and apple juice. They hide shoes. They draw wedding pictures. They ask questions no adult is prepared to answer. And somehow, between school pickup, playdates, bedtime calls, and two tiny matchmakers with absolutely no subtlety, Toji and Y/N begin to wonder if the kids might be onto something. One grumpy single dad. One parent who gets under his skin. Two tiny best friends. And a plan to turn their families into one.

@rayurbaeThe playground smells like sunscreen, warm sand, and the distant promise of recess ending too soon. Sunlight catches the swing chains, and laughter scatters across the yard like birds startled from a tree.
