“Dad! hurry!”

Chae-yoon calls out to Jo Sung-hyun at the front door.

Jo Sung-hyun smiled and quickly got dressed.

Put on your coat and go out to the front door.

The child was wearing all the shoes and was waiting for Jo Sung-hyun.

Jo Seong-hyun, who stroked Chae-yoon’s hair once, quickly put on his shoes and went outside.

“let’s go.”

“yes!”

Chae-yoon responds brightly to Jo Sung-hyun’s words and takes his hand.

As they stepped outside, the warm sunlight greeted them.

These days are weird

It was warm and then cold, but Jo Seong-hyeon was still unable to adapt to the whims.

It was supposed to be cold again from tomorrow, so I purposely brought one more piece of clothes to wear inside.

Jo Seong-hyeon looked down at Chae-yoon, who was carrying a bag with an excited face, and then moved on.

new Year.

national holiday.

There is no separate holiday gift or anything like that, but the whole family decided to get together.

Fortunately, the car wasn’t very congested, so I was able to get to Su-hyeon Lee’s house in about an hour and a half.

Lee Soo-hyun came out and was waiting for them.

“Why are you here so late?”

“Dad is late!”

Chae Yoon-yi looked at Jo Sung-hyun and said, and Lee Soo-hyun smirked.

“Your father is usually a little slow.”

“When did I say I was slow again?”

Jo Sung-hyun said so and went inside.

As soon as you walk in, the smell hits you.

“… ”

Newspapers in the middle of the living room.

A large bucket in the middle.

plates next to it.

“Well.”

Jo Seong-hyeon let out a sigh without realizing it.

What is this.

Am I not seeing well now?

“… Grandma, what is that?”

“yes? what is it We decided to make dumplings together.”

“dumpling… ?”

Chaeyoung blinks her eyes.

Jo Sung-hyun sighed and opened his mouth.

“How many dumplings are you going to make?”

“Let’s just make 400 lightly. If you only make 100 pieces per person, you can do it quickly.”

“… When are you going to eat all 400?”

“Eat quickly. How big is 400 dumplings? They make it and give it to everyone in the house next door, and so on.”

Lee Soo-hyun said so and nodded as if to come in quickly.

Jo Seong-hyeon took off his shoes and cautiously entered the house.

I’m so scared.

When are you going to make all of that?

“First, wash your hands. honey! The kids are here. Come quickly.”

At the words of Lee Soo-hyeon, the main room door opens and Jo Jae-wook comes out.

“Great.”

While coughing, Jo Jae-wook said hello.

They stood in line, washed their hands, and sat down in the living room.

As soon as I arrived, I started doing home-made handicrafts.

“No, why are there so many dumplings… .”

“It’s going to be quick. Let’s hurry up and eat tteokmanjang soup. Does Chaeyoon like rice cake soup?”

“… yes.”

Chaeyoung nodded her head.

He had a very bright face just before he arrived, but he seemed overwhelmed by the huge amount of dumplings inside and the dumpling skins.

“Well, how do you make it?”

In the end, Jo Sung-hyun decided to accept the fact that he could escape only by making all the dumplings.

He looked at his mother and asked, and Lee Soo-hyun put a dumpling skin in his hand with a smile on his face.

Then, raise a spoon, scoop a spoonful of the dumpling inside and place it on top of the dumpling skin.

I dipped my fingers in warm water, applied it to the dumpling skin, and started sticking the dumpling skins together.

Half-moon-shaped dumplings were completed one by one.

It looked pretty simple, so Seong-hyeon Cho decided to give it a try right away.

Perhaps Chaeyoon looked interesting too, and her face brightened up quickly and she picked up the dumpling skin.

I think we made dumplings together when we were young, but I can’t really remember.

Jo Seong-hyeon roughly tried to do the same as Lee Soo-hyun showed, and the dumplings were born.

“Can I do this?”

“That’s right. If you do… .”

Before Lee Soo-hyun finished speaking.

tuk.

The dumpling skin opens and the inside of the dumplings falls apart.

“… … .”

“So, it will happen.”

“Dad threw it out!”

“Nope. He didn’t throw it away, he just fell on his own.”

In response to Chae-yoon’s words, Jo Seong-hyun shakes his head in response.

The child laughed hard and made dumplings.

Chae-yoon made it well, similar to what Soo-hyun Lee made, whether her dexterity was basically good.

“ruler!”

As if Chae-yoon wanted to see what she was going to make quickly, she showed it to Jo Seong-hyeon and boasted.

Jo Seong-hyeon blinked at the dumplings the child had made.

really well made

How do you make it with such small hands?

I’m thinking like that.

“Chae Yoon-ah, I made it well, but I used two dumpling skins.”

“to?”

Next to me, Lee Soo-hyun spoke to me.

At her words, Chaeyoon’s eyes widened, and she quickly checked the dumplings.

Carefully touching the outside, a layer of dumpling skin falls off.

It was something that Jo Sung-hyun didn’t even know, so he should have been surprised.

I didn’t know that there were two layers of dumpling skin even when I saw it right in front of me, but it’s a mystery how Lee Soo-hyun saw it from the other side and knew it.

Somehow, the dumpling skin inside was torn a little.

In the end, Chaeyoon also bowed her head with a gloomy face.

“If you get used to it, you can make it well, so let’s make it quickly.”

Lee Soo-hyun speaks as if encouraging Chae-yoon.

Jo Seong-hyeon glanced at Jo Jae-wook and moved his gaze to the side.

He was skillfully making dumplings.

It seems that the only people who are not used to making dumplings are Chae Yoon-yi and Jo Seong-hyeon.

Seong-hyeon Cho scratched the ball once, and then he said no.

“I got a white thing on my dad’s face. hee hee.”

Chae-yoon laughs when she sees Jo Sung-hyun while making new dumplings.

Seeing the child having fun, Jo Sung-hyun reached out and smeared a little flour on Chae-yoon’s cheek.

“Eh?”

The child made a bewildered face, and then looked at the plate filled with flour and Seong-hyeon Cho.

And Seong-hyeon Cho was struck in an instant.

Chae-yoon took a picture of a plate covered with flour, and pressed her hand to Seong-hyeon’s cheek.

Flour was smeared in the shape of a child’s palm.

Maybe that’s why it’s so funny, Chaeyoon laughs.

Jo Sung-hyun burst into laughter.

“Let’s make dumplings quietly.”

“… your grandmother.”

Chae-yoon quickly shuts her mouth and carefully starts making dumplings again.

Still, he couldn’t completely hide the laughter that was leaking out, and there was a growling sound.

Seong-hyeon Cho was also fed up and burst into laughter.

After ruining three or four dumplings, I still felt a little bit better, and after that, I was able to make some pretty impressive dumplings, although the pace was slow.

It was the same with Chaeyoon, but I could tell immediately what the child had made.

because it was small

All the dumplings the child made were only about two-thirds the size.

Still, it didn’t explode, so Chaeyoon had a proud face while making it.

“I think it’s because the kid handles musical instruments, so he’s good at doing things with his hands.”

“Iknow, right. You seem to be good at everything you do with your hands.”

Seong-Hyeon Cho nodded.

You could say that making dumplings is so great, but it’s really hard to make them without popping them.

Chae-yoon and Jo Sung-hyun, who made it well without breaking anything after grasping the sense, were also proud.

“Dad… .”

“yes?”

“My neck hurts.”

“Does your neck hurt? Lie down on your father’s legs.”

Chae-yoon laid her head on Jo Sung-hyun’s thigh.

The child laughed and pranked Jo Sung-hyun’s stomach, and Jo Sung-hyun laughed lightly and accepted the child’s prank.

How many dumplings did you make?

“finally… .”

Jo Jae-wook, who was silently making dumplings, muttered as if sighing.

Lee Soo-hyun looked at him like that, but he didn’t nag anything.

“It’s all made. Now go and let Chae-yun wash her hands and lay her on the bed. I have to let him sleep for a while until he cooks the tteokmanjang-guk.”

Lee Soo-hyun said, and Jo Seong-hyun nodded and grabbed Chae-yoon and headed to the bathroom.

The sleeping child woke up as he tried to wash his hands.

After wiping off all the flour on his hands, Jo Sung-hyun went to the main room and laid Chae-yoon on it.

“Chae Yoon-ah. Aren’t you sleepy?”

“yes.”

As soon as I woke up, I came in and made dumplings diligently.

It wasn’t time to sleep yet.

Even so, the child must have been a little tired from making dumplings, although there were signs of being a little tired.

“Ha-am.”

Chae-yoon opened her mouth wide and yawned.

Jo Seong-hyeon slyly put his finger into the child’s mouth.

“pressure.”

Chae-yoon bites Jo Sung-hyun’s finger and makes a strange sound.

The child looked at Jo Sung-hyun with round eyes.

Jo Sung-hyun laughed, and Chae-yoon bit his hand tighter with his lips and let it go.

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

“yes?”

“How was making dumplings?”

“It was fun! Grandma is really cool.”

The boy said with his eyes shining.

After all, the dumplings Lee Soo-hyun made had the perfect shape.

There wasn’t a single crack.

It was great.

“Today I’m going to sleep at my grandmother’s house, so I can’t play the piano… it’s okay?”

Jo Sung-hyun asked.

Chae-yoon likes to play the piano.

Recently, I was working on music with Jo Seong-hyeon, and although he was busy, he still played the piano at least once a day if possible.

The only thing that broke it was the last time Jo Sung-hyun asked Chae-yoon Lee to take care of the missing toothed cat.

And again, you won’t be able to play the piano for two days.

I was a little concerned.

Chae-yoon will be entering the school soon, but recently, Chae-yoon has barely practiced the piano.

It is said that he plays the piano once or twice a day, but it was literally just a performance to loosen his hands.

There was hardly any practice or practice properly.

I wondered if I could do well in school or if I had lost interest in the piano.

‘But every time I play the piano, I like it. Looking at it, I don’t think I’ve lost interest… .’

The child is also a piano player, but once in a while working on music as a whole, he seemed to have more fun than usual.

While working on an album with Yumi, was it that you were satisfied with the music work, so you played the piano a little less?

Jo Seong-hyeon looked at Chae-yoon with many thoughts.

The child had a slightly worried face.

and soon.

“it’s okay! You can check it later.”

“Confirm?”

“yes!”

The child answers clearly.

Jo Sung-hyun tilted his head.

“What check?”

“to… ? Check if the sound I thought is correct… ?”

Chae-yoon made a rather puzzled face.

Jo Seong-hyeon had to understand the child’s words belatedly and felt goosebumps all over his body.

‘Is it possible that you were just playing in your head until now?’
