Episode 5

“thanks. brother.”

Yumi gets out of the car and says hello.

Jo Sung-hyun greeted her with a smile.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen him in a long time, or maybe it’s because he takes good care of Chaeyoon all the way through, I’m glad and thankful.

“Good luck in.”

“Yep. Oh, our pretty Chae-yoon is also doing well.”

“yes!”

Chae-yoon also answered with a bright face whether she liked Yu-mi.

Chaeyoon still had a jelly bag in her hand.

There were only two left, but Chaeyoon was eating them as slowly as possible, saying that they should eat sparingly.

“Chae Yoon-ah, is it so bad to eat jelly?”

“uh… I can’t eat it when it’s all gone!”

So I had to make sure it didn’t go away.

Jo Sung-hyun just smiled.

In the end, I would eat it all, but it was so cute to cherish and cherish it like that.

“Dad, ah~”

“Dad, what are you doing?”

Jo Sung-hyun glanced at Chae-yoon and opened his mouth.

Chae-yoon stretches out her arm while whining and puts a piece of jelly into his mouth.

Chae-yoon, who took care of herself while feeling so sorry, was so pretty.

Really, I think it’s his daughter.

sorry again

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

“yes?”

“My grandmother told me to go shopping, would you like to go shopping together?”

“I like Chae-yoon!”

Chae-yoon raises her hand and says.

Seong-hyeon Jo, who smiled at that, headed to the large mart.

* * *

It’s been a really long time since I’ve been to a hypermarket after work.

Even, it was the first time, at least in Cho Sung-hyun’s memory, that Chae-yoon and I came alone.

Maybe that’s why Chae-yoon looked particularly excited.

“Chae Yoon-ah, I need to hold Dad’s hand.”

When Jo Sung-hyun reached out his hand, Chae-yoon, who was a little ahead of him, turned around and took Jo Sung-hyun’s hand.

Chae-yoon’s small hand barely catches Seong-hyeon’s hand.

Then, perhaps a little uncomfortable, she grabbed Jo Sung-hyun’s three fingers and dragged him away as if he wanted to go.

“Let’s go!”

Jo Seong-hyun hurriedly grabbed Chae-yoon’s hand, who was saying that.

“Let’s not run here.”

Jo Seong-hyeon, who got on the moving walk, stopped walking because he thought that if Chae-yoon fell while moving for no reason, he would be in trouble.

Chae-yoon also nodded without saying anything and leaned her body on Seong-hyun’s leg.

Then Chae-yoon.

“uh?”

As if he had found something, Chaeyoon’s gaze turned.

Jo Seong-hyeon glanced at Chae-yoon and moved his gaze to the direction he was looking at.

A poster advertising the jelly I ate earlier caught my eye.

Jo Sung-hyun let out a smirk.

Apparently, she liked the jelly that Yumi gave her.

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

“yes… ?”

Chaeyoon, who was still looking at the distant jelly poster, slowed her answer down a bit.

That figure was so cute too, Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth with a pleasant face.

“What, do you want to buy something?”

“I want to buy… ?”

“yes. Is it something you want to eat?”

Chae-yoon tilted her head once, wondering if she understood Jo Sung-hyun’s words, raised her arm and pointed to the jelly poster.

“Chae-yoon, that one!”

While saying that, Chae-yoon pointed at the poster with a short finger, but the poster had already moved away and was invisible.

Chae-yoon, realizing this, turned to Jo Sung-hyun with bewildered eyes.

“Uh, I was just there… ”

“where?”

“It’s on the wall… ”

Chae-yoon said in a confident voice.

Although he saw the poster himself, Jo Sung-hyun asked the child a question because Chae-yoon was cute.

“What was it? What did you want to eat?”

“There was Jelly Bear.”

Chae-yoon points back and says.

She even looks sad.

Because it was cute, Jo Seong-hyeon stopped while trying to stroke Chae-yoon’s hair.

I wondered if Chae-yoon might hate it, so Jo Seong-hyeon was able to bear it while trembling her hand.

He nodded as he looked at the little fingers of the insistent child.

“Do you want to eat teddy bear jelly?”

“yes!”

Chaeyoon nodded her head strongly, showing that she wants to eat too much.

“If you want to eat teddy bear jelly, Dad will buy you… .”

With that said, isn’t jelly suddenly bad for you? A thought ran through his mind.

It’s not good for my body, so I’m willing to buy it, but I can’t not buy it when Chae-yoon says that she wants to eat it herself.

It felt like an ideology and an ideology were fighting in my head.

On the one hand, you have to feed Chae-yoon only good things! a voice comes out

On the other hand, Chae-yoon likes it, so I should buy it! a voice comes out

Did he notice what he was worried about?

“You can’t use teddy bear jelly… ?”

Chae-yoon says so and looks up at Jo Sung-hyun.

The child’s voice was full of regret.

“It’s not good for the body, so should I live a little?”

“like!”

Chaeyoon replies with a bright face again.

Jo Sung-hyun finally stroked his daughter’s hair.

It was so cute, I couldn’t stand it.

“Hehe… Daddy’s hands are huge.”

Chae-yoon took Jo Sung-hyun’s hand, who was stroking her hair with a pleasant face.

“Chae Yoon-ah, take care of your feet.”

As the end of the moving walk is approaching, Jo Sung-hyun said that Chae-yoon might be in danger.

He prepared so that if Chae-yoon fell, he could hold him right away.

“yap!”

Chae-yoon got off the moving walk safely by jumping.

So, the real shopping began.

* * *

The first place they went was also the food section.

The reason Jo Sung-hyun came to the mart in the first place was because his mother asked why there was nothing to eat at home.

“Eggs are more expensive than you think.”

Jo Seong-hyeon scratched his cheeks and frowned in front of the egg corner.

Eggs were more expensive than expected.

After thinking for a while, he finally picked up the egg and put it in the cart.

I wanted to buy a half plate of eggs, but since the price was similar, I thought it would be better to just buy a single plate.

You can cook just about anything with eggs.

From now on, I will continue to have dinner with Chae-yoon, but then it will disappear quickly.

Unlike Jo Sung-hyun, who was worried, Chae-yoon just seemed excited.

It was natural to be excited about being able to eat teddy bear jelly, and it was the first time that Jo Sung-hyun and I went to the grocery store.

“So good?”

Jo Sung-hyun asked Chae-yoon, who he likes.

Then, Chae-yoon moved her arms and lightly hugged Jo Sung-hyun’s legs.

“Chae-yoon likes her father.”

“Dad likes Chae-yoon too.”

The experience of a daughter hugging her legs and saying that she likes it is a joy that those who have never experienced it will never know.

An indescribable smile appeared on the corner of Jo Sung-hyun’s lips.

“How… The baby is so cute.”

“It’s very pretty. Look at those twinkling eyes.”

A couple passed by and looked at Chaeyoon and talked.

It seemed that Chae-yoon didn’t hear it, but Jo Seong-hyun felt proud and hugged Chae-yoon, who was still holding her legs, lightly.

It’s not something I say to myself, but it feels so good.

In my mind, I just want to brag about you, saying that this child is my child.

I was so proud and happy that Chaeyoon was his daughter.

I was also very sorry that the child’s mother passed away, and even though she lived with Chaeyoon for several years, she never came to the supermarket to shop.

‘This time I have to change everything.’

I will often go to the grocery store with Chaeyoon and eat rice together every day.

“Hey, I’ll pass by for a moment.”

Chae-yoon was unable to move because she was holding her leg, but a voice came from behind.

Jo Seong-hyeon quickly turned around and looked behind him.

Adult men and women, and boys.

Those who looked like family were looking at Jo Sung-hyun with strange eyes.

“Oh, sorry.”

Jo Sung-hyun apologized.

Because it is true that he has stopped.

As he apologizes, his gaze softens a bit.

“No, it’s okay. I see the child now. It seems that the child follows his father a lot. So cute.”

The woman laughed and said.

It seems that she has just discovered that Chae-yoon is hugging Seong-hyeon’s leg.

Jo Sung-hyun took Chae-yoon’s hand.

“thank you.”

He said so and moved the cart.

The boy looks at Chae-yoon and shakes his hand.

Chae-yoon turned around without saying a word.

Jo Seong-hyeon tilted his head when he saw the boy who looked like he was left behind.

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

“yes?”

“That boy over there, do you know him?”

“uh… I saw you in kindergarten.”

“okay? I was saying hello earlier, but Chaeyoon also greeted me. Did you not see it?”

“I saw… I’m not very close with Chae-yoon.”

Chaeyoung shook her head and said.

Jo Sung-hyun blinked his eyes.

I saw it in kindergarten, and the boy seemed a little happy to see Chaeyoon.

Seeing him even say hello, he seemed to know for sure.

But Chaeyoon didn’t even say hello because she wasn’t close.

In a strange feeling, Jo Sung-hyun scratched his cheek.

Is something happening in kindergarten?

‘Or, well, maybe he just doesn’t like it very much.’

Children may like each other, or may not get along very well.

Jo Seong-hyeon moved forward, trying not to overcomplicate it as much as possible.

“If you don’t even say hello, does it seem like they’re not really close?”

“Umm… .”

Chaeyoon made a worried face, then opened her mouth with a bright smile.

“Originally, Chaeyoon isn’t close at all!”

And at the daughter’s words, Jo Seong-hyeon’s heart seemed to be pounding and sinking.

What does it mean to be unfriendly?

‘Our Chae-yoon… .’

Are you being bullied in kindergarten?

In an instant, my heart warmed.

Heat rises in the head.

If it was really being bullied, it seemed like it would hurt so much.

Just imagining it makes me feel feverish and heart pounding in an instant, but if it’s true…

‘Then what should I do?’

From https://readwn.com

My brain turned white.

In such a situation, Chae-yoon tilted her head and looked at Jo Sung-hyun.

It’s like asking if there’s something wrong.

“Dad… ?”

Chae-yoon grabbed Seong-hyun’s pants and called him.

Jo Seong-hyeon barely came to his senses and opened his mouth.

“Ah, yes. Chae Yoon-ah. Let’s go shopping and go eat.”

“I love rice!”

“Yeah, Chaeyoon likes… .”

Cho Seong-hyeon could not continue to speak.

Because of the shock to yourself.

Because he didn’t even know Chae-yoon’s favorite food.

‘He was a really bad dad. I.’

Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself.

This time, let’s become a father like a father.

He vowed again.

Let’s give love twice, including the things we couldn’t do in the past life.

To his daughter, Chaeyoon.
