Starlight on Canvas Part 4, ending part 6. Growing Old Together Your home grew into a warm, lived-in art gallery: Little handprints on the walls Sketches taped to the fridge Half-finished family portraits drying on easels Kids running through rooms with paint on their clothes Hyunjin still looked at you like he did that first night in the studio — like he had discovered something sacred. On your 20th anniversary, he gifted you a painting. Not of stars. Not of landscapes. But of the four of you — a family wrapped in soft light. He kissed your forehead. “This,” he whispered, “is the greatest masterpiece of my life.” And in that moment, surrounded by the life you built, by love that had grown like vines and constellations, you realized something: You weren’t just his muse. He wasn’t just your partner. You were each other’s forever.
