Little Yuri watched Mom walk into the house.
At first, she stayed still, her tiny eyes fixed on the door.
“Eee…?”
A soft, questioning sound.
She expected Mom to come back quickly.
But the moment stretched longer than she liked.
Her face slowly changed.
Her lips trembled.
Her body became tense.
Then suddenly—
“EEEEEE!”
Yuri burst into a loud, dramatic baby-like cry, her voice full of frustration and longing. She couldn’t handle the wait.
“Eee! Eee!”
She cried again and again, her tiny body shaking as she stood there, feeling left behind. To her, it felt like forever.
She didn’t understand time.
She only knew she wanted Mom now.
Her cries echoed loudly, filled with emotion, calling for attention and comfort.
She looked toward the house, hoping every second that Mom would return.
Waiting felt too hard.
Too long.
Then—
The door opened.
Mom came back.
The moment Yuri saw her, she cried even louder for a second—this time mixed with relief.
Mom quickly came close and picked her up.
Instantly—
The crying softened.
Yuri clung tightly, her body relaxing as she felt safe again.
Now calm in her arms, the dramatic moment faded away.
For little Yuri, even a short wait can feel endless—but love always brings her back to peace.
