My Daughter is a Music Genius

95

It was a stupid idea.

Jo Sung-hyun admitted that he was stupid within a second.

Who cooks the seaweed soup for Chae-yoon?

‘Of course I have to boil it.’

That’s right, Seong-hyeon Cho, shouldn’t you have to cook it yourself?

What Lee Soo-hyun is doing to him now, he will do to Chae-yoon.

without any exception.

Jo Sung-hyun made such a promise.

That’s how I eat seaweed soup.

“Why does he only eat soup? They also have galbi-jjim, so eat galbi-jjim.”

“yes. This soup is delicious.”

“okay? It’s been a while since I’ve been boiling seaweed soup, so I don’t know much, so I added a little bit of it and boiled it, and I’m glad.”

“Grandma is a good cook!”

At Lee Soo-hyeon’s words, Chae-yoon speaks with the seasoning for ribs in her mouth.

Jo Sung-hyun smiled and pulled out a tissue and wiped Chae-yoon’s lips.

He put down his spoon, lifted his chopsticks, and picked up a piece of steamed ribs.

Gently spread the flesh.

“Isn’t galbi-jjim very good?”

“Oh, it was bought.”

“ah… .”

Cho Seong-hyeon nodded, and Chae-yoon, with a shocked expression on her face, simmered the ribs and dropped it into the rice bowl.

“What Grandma did… no?”

“I just warmed it up. The ribs stew was made by Cheong Jong-won.”

“Cheong Jong-won… Who are you?”

Chaeyoung asks.

Lee Soo-hyun smiled and opened his mouth.

“I have. They cook very well.”

As she said that, she started eating galbijjim herself.

Jo Jae-wook quietly continued his meal.

He didn’t talk very much at the dinner table, so most of the conversation was intervened by Jo Sung-hyeon, Lee Soo-hyun, and sometimes Chae-yoon.

So I finished eating.

As soon as Jo Sung-hyun cleared the table and finished washing dishes, Lee Soo-hyun took the cake out of the refrigerator.

“Chae Yoon-ah, let’s eat cake.”

“cake?”

Chae-yoon, who was watching TV while sitting side by side with Jo Jae-wook on the sofa in the living room, lifts her head and looks towards the kitchen.

The child jumped up when he saw that Lee Soo-hyun was holding the cake.

“Chaeyoon likes cake.”

“Which cake do you like best?”

“Sweet Potato Cake!”

“So Grandma bought me a sweet potato cake.”

“Chae-yoon likes her grandmother!”

the child smiles and says

Seeing Chaeyun talking brightly, Jo Sunghyun took off his rubber gloves and smiled.

Jo Jae-wook got up from the sofa and turned off the lights as he came to the kitchen.

Lee Soo-hyun quickly lit the candle.

Chae-yoon laughed as if excited.

“happy birthday. happy birthday. my dear son happy birthday.”

Lee Soo-hyun sings the main song, and Jo Jae-wook sings the song in a sneak peek.

Chae-yoon looked at the candles while chirping, and it seemed like she wanted to blow out the candles after the song was over.

just as expected.

“I want Chae-yoon to do it too!”

As soon as the song ended, Chae-yoon shouted, and Jo Sung-hyun laughed and held Chae-yoon in her arms.

“One, two, three! Whoops.”

Jo Sung-hyeon and Chae-yoon blew out the candles at the same time.

The kids were happy, so it was just fun.

Eat a piece of cake.

After putting the rest back in the refrigerator, the atmosphere calmed down again.

Chae-yoon was watching TV in the living room and rolling around with the Little Mermaid.

Jo Seong-hyeon, Lee Soo-hyun, and Jo Jae-wook sat down at the table and drank a cup of tea each.

“What are you doing these days? I would have retired and had nothing to do. Are you still studying what you did last time?”

“I do it whenever I have free time to study. Recently… An artist belonging to the company I used to work for asked me to take on an album, so I’m working as a freelancer.”

“You’re doing it the freelance way?”

Jo Jae-wook frowned.

He took a sip of tea and continued talking.

“Then why did you resign? I just have a stable job.”

“It’s hard to find time at work. It’s nice to be able to basically set the working hours if I do it the freelance way like I do now.”

“Are you playing well with Chaeyoon?”

“yes. Yesterday, I went to the zoo called Miniju.”

Jo Sung-hyun nodded in response.

He knew Jo Jae-wook’s personality well.

He seems to be a bit ticklish and dissatisfied, but he is basically a warm person.

“Are you still working on an album with Yumi, who you were in charge of in the past?”

“I’m working with Seo Ye-na right now.”

“… Did you succeed?”

There are many people who do not know Yumi, but Yena Seo had a level of recognition that she had heard of her name at least once.

It was not unreasonable that Lee Soo-hyun reacted like that.

“Success. They just do it.”

In fact, it would not have started without Chae-yoon’s words.

But these days, it wasn’t because Chae-yoon asked Seo Ye-na to help, but she was doing it while enjoying her job.

Well, because it was fun.

“How is Chae-yoon?”

“This time, after passing the preliminary round of the contest, there is a final stage on the following Friday.”

“No, didn’t you tell me that?”

Lee Soo-hyun looked at Seong-hyeon as if it was ridiculous.

Jo Sung-hyun scratched his cheek.

“I was out of my mind. I’m sorry.”

“No, no matter how crazy I was… .”

As he sighs, Lee Soo-hyun shakes his head.

After explaining what the contest was for a long time, Jo Seong-hyun was able to move on to the next topic of conversation.

“So, no contests or anything like that. How about just Chae-yoon?”

Jo Sung-hyeon heard that and glanced at Chae-yoon.

The child was lying on the sofa and fell asleep while holding the mermaid doll.

Looking at the child quietly, Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth.

“These days, I think I miss my mother a lot. Yesterday at the zoo, they told me they wanted to see their mother.”

“… It’s been years since I haven’t seen her mother. Of course you’d like to see it. So, don’t worry too much about it.”

this picture.

Lee Soo-hyun said so and beat Cho Sung-hyun.

Seong-Hyeon Cho didn’t answer.

because it was his own fault.

I should have taken care of Chae-yoon from the beginning, but I only care about my child after living a life full of regrets.

“Still, I’m glad you’re calm. When I was just concentrating on your work and Chaeyoon didn’t care, I had a dark future too. I wanted him to come to his senses quickly, but I also thought that he is my cub, but he’s also a guy who won’t be able to wake up after dying… I’ve come to my senses.”

Lee Soo-hyun said with a big smile.

Jo Sung-hyun smiled awkwardly and shook his head.

Actually, I was dead and woke up and woke up.

I just had that thought in my head.

“I am very, very sorry. Also, Chae-yoon can’t see her mother… It’s also that I can’t replace Chae-yoon’s mother.”

At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Lee Soo-hyun smirked and clicked his tongue.

“What are you thinking of replacing? You are you, and your mother is your mother.”

Lee Soo-hyun said so and turned to Chae-yoon.

She looked at Chae Yoon and calmly opened her mouth.

“You just have to work hard at what you do. No need to try or do anything to fill the void.”

“… … .”

“There is no way I can fill that void. It’s best to just hold Chayoon so she doesn’t fall into it and walk with her.”

It was the part that Jo Sung-hyun was also feeling.

He knew that Chae-yoon could not fill her mother’s vacancy.

Hearing it through Lee Soo-hyun’s mouth, the feeling was a little different.

“I have to work hard at my job.”

As a father, you have to work hard at what you have to do.

Then, I can’t fill the vacancy of Chaeyoon’s mother, but as a father, can’t I do more?

In the icy loneliness, warmer and warmer.

Could it be such a quilt?

Seong-hyeon Cho thought about it.

* * *

Chae-yoon slept for less than an hour.

I got up and had fun again, and was only able to return home before evening.

“piano!”

As soon as Jo Seong-hyeon came home, he gently hugged Chae-yoon, who was about to run towards the piano.

“Chae Yoon-ah. What should I do when I get home?”

“… Washing hands?”

“Isn’t Chaeyun a good boy who washes his hands well?”

“right!”

The child nodded, took off his coat, handed it to Jo Sung-hyun, and went into the bathroom.

With the pedestal, Chaeyoon, who climbed up on it, washed her hands diligently.

As if he was going to wash his face, the boy also got water on his face.

“Are you going to wash your face?”

“yes!”

In response to Chae-yoon’s answer, Jo Seong-hyeon quickly approached and helped the child wash up.

After washing his face and washing his feet, the child changed into pajamas.

It seems that Chaeyoon is getting ready for bed, so Jo Seonghyun is quickly washing up and changing into pajamas.

“Dad!”

Chae-yoon called him from the living room.

Hearing the child eagerly looking for him, Jo Seong-hyeon hurriedly puts his arms in, put on clothes, and went out to the living room.

Chae-yoon was standing between the sofa and the piano, looking at Cho Sung-hyun.

“What’s up. Chae Yoon-ah.”

“Sit here, Dad.”

“On the sofa?”

“yes!”

For some reason, the child looked excited.

He looked excited in the morning, but today was the most excited face of the day.

I don’t know what to sit down for, but Jo Sung-hyun sat down on the sofa first.

It’s not often that Chae-yoon asks Jo Sung-hyun to do something like this.

Jo Seong-hyeon sat on the sofa, and Chae-yoon nodded with a satisfied face, then moved and walked towards the piano.

It looks like you want to play.

If I had just been playing the piano, I would have listened to it while doing housework.

When you see him sitting on the sofa after shouting, it seems that Jo Sung-hyun wants you to listen.

“Dad, are you listening?”

“yes. I’ll listen to you.”

Chae-yoon checked it again, and Jo Seong-hyun answered immediately.

The child confirmed that Jo Sung-hyun was still sitting, and placed his hand on the keyboard.

And, start playing.

Follow others follow.

It was a familiar play.

Happy birthday song.

Chaeyoon was playing it on the piano.

Jo Seong-hyeon made a hoarse voice without realizing it.

He played a happy birthday song saying it was his birthday.

I didn’t just listen to what I had sang at home and imitate it.

At that time, I really only sang part of it, now I’m playing all the songs.

It means that Chaeyoon prepared separately.

It was so moving that tears welled up.

after playing

Chae-yoon smiled and turned around.

“Daddy gift!”

The child cried, and Jo Sung-hyun realized at that moment.

For him, it means that it cannot be without Chae-yoon.

* * *

Perhaps the fastest thing in the world is time?

Seong-hyeon Cho thought about it.

I only blinked once.

It was already Friday morning.

Today was the day of Chaeyoon’s final stage.
