“It’s hot… .”
Chae-yoon is crying and says:
Jo Seong-hyeon, who was sitting in front of the child, burst into laughter.
“Is it hot?”
When he asked, Chae-yoon nodded her head.
Jo Seong-hyeon gently moved his body to Chae-yoon’s plate and breathed in.
“It’s fine now.”
“no!”
Chae-yoon shook her head as if she was not young.
They had been eating tteokbokki for a long time, but Chaeyoon couldn’t eat tteokbokki properly because it was hot.
“Why did my dad blow boo?”
“It’s still hot.”
Chae-yoon narrowed her eyes and looked at Jo Sung-hyun and said.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and looked at Chae-yoon’s tteokbokki on his plate.
Compared to the half of the tteokbokki on Jo Sung-hyeon’s plate, the tteokbokki on Chae-yoon’s plate was almost the same.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t it spicy?”
“I’m fine… Hot!”
Chaeyoon said so and looked at the tteokbokki.
Jo Sung-hyun shook his head slightly, but then got up from his seat.
“If Dad gives you yogurt, can you eat it?”
“yogurt?”
“yes. So, wouldn’t it be possible to eat a little bit even if it’s hot?”
“okay!”
Chae-yoon nodded her head with a satisfied face.
After confirming that a satisfied smile appeared on the child’s face, Jo Seong-hyeon finally took out a piece of yogurt from the refrigerator.
Chaeyoon took a sip of yogurt and started eating tteokbokki little by little.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t eat it because it was hot, but even though Jo Sung-hyun made it as less spicy as possible, it still seemed a little too spicy for the child’s taste.
They say it’s not spicy, but looking for water and looking for yogurt, it’s definitely spicy.
Jo Seong-hyeon put cheese on the child’s plate and started eating tteokbokki from his plate.
“tasty?”
“Uh.”
Chae-yoon answers immediately and puts tteokbokki in her mouth.
To make it easier for children to eat, I cut all the tteokbokki rice cakes in half, thanks to which Chaeyoon was able to put them all in one bite.
After Jo Sung-hyun finished eating his tteokbokki, he waited for Chae-yoon to empty his plate.
Put the plate in the sink.
Jo Sung-hyun ate cookies with Chae-yoon.
Cookies stuffed with chocolate chips.
We decided to eat two cookies each the size of Chaeyoon’s palm.
Jo Sung-hyeon watched the child eagerly eat it, and then opened his mouth.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“yes?”
“What do you want to do on the weekend?”
“On the weekend?”
“yes. You won’t go to kindergarten for two days from tomorrow. what should we do?”
Jo Sung-hyun looked at Chae-yoon and asked.
Chaeyoon took another bite of the cookie and didn’t respond until she swallowed it.
Are you thinking about what to do, or is there something else?
The child gulps, swallows the cookie in his mouth, and opens his mouth.
“Chae-yoon needs to practice.”
“Are you ready for the contest?”
“yes. Chae-yoon can’t play the piano?”
“Who says Chae-yoon can’t play the piano when she sees it? Chaeyoon plays the piano very well. That’s why we go to contests.”
“yes… But uh, there are people who are better than Chaeyoon… .”
Chae-yoon replied with a frown.
Jo Sung-hyun knew immediately who the child was talking to.
I must be referring to the boy I saw last time.
Among the participants Jo Sung-hyeon and Chae-yoon saw, the most talented person was that boy.
I don’t know your name, I don’t know your age.
At first, it seemed that Chaeyoon was secretly caring about the boy.
Jo Sung-hyun reached out to Chae-yoon, who said that he had to work harder because he couldn’t play, and put his hand on the child’s head.
Chae-yoon did not refuse his hand.
Instead, the child pretended to bite Jo Sung-hyun’s finger, wondering if he wanted to play a prank.
As Jo Seong-hyeon gently pulls out his hand, Chae-yoon laughs.
Seeing such a child, Jo Sung-hyun took a bite of the cookie.
About half of the cookies disappear.
After chewing it for a while and swallowing it, Jo Sung-hyun called the child.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“Would you like to go to Dad’s company on the weekend?”
Chae-yoon blinked at Seong-hyun’s words.
The child seemed to ponder for a moment, then nodded.
Cho Sung-hyun did not say that the company had a grand piano.

After the night, Saturday morning.
Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon got up as usual, ate, and then got ready to go out.
“Chae Yoon-ah. You should wear a jacket.”
The child was just about to leave, so Jo Seong-hyeon said hurriedly.
Then, Chae-yoon said goodbye and quickly came back to Seong-hyeon and opened her arms.
Jo Sung-hyun put a yellow jacket on Chae-yoon.
Up until now, I was just wearing a coat or something like that, but now the days are getting too cold to survive with just a coat.
The yellow padding came just above Chaeyoon’s knee.
Chaeyoon was a bit uncomfortable to move, so she tried to move her body while whining around.
It might be a little uncomfortable, but it was definitely warm.
“Dad.”
“yes?”
“I want to go with the Little Mermaid… .”
Is it okay, the face asking for permission.
It didn’t matter at all to carry the little mermaid doll.
Even if it was going to work, it was because I was going to use the practice room first.
Just like you do at home, you can practice with the Little Mermaid doll on the piano.
“Do you want to go with the Little Mermaid?”
“yes!”
“Then go in and bring the little mermaid.”
“yes!”
At his words, Chae-yoon ran into the house and came with the Little Mermaid doll on the piano.
Jo Sung-hyeon took Chae-yoon and went outside.
The cold air hit them.
“It’s cold… .”
Chae-yoon says as she digs into Jo Sung-hyun’s chest.
Jo Seong-hyeon held the baby tightly and moved.
It was a very cold day, so I thought I had to go quickly and walked fast, but I twisted my body here and there, probably because Chaeyoon was frustrated.
In the end, Jo Seong-hyeon had to put Chae-yoon down on the floor because he was afraid he would miss the child.
“Chae Yoon-ah. Dad’s hand.”
“hand!”
Cho Seong-hyeon held out his hand, but Chae-yoon, on the other hand, held out his hand toward Jo Seong-hyeon and gave an expression as if he were to grab it quickly.
At the child’s behavior, Jo Sung-hyun burst into laughter.
“What are you doing, Chae Yoon-ah?”
“Dad, Chae-yoon needs to hold hands!”
“Isn’t Chae-yoon supposed to hold Dad’s hand?”
“It’s not perfect.”
The child smiled and waved his hand as if to hold him quickly.
Jo Sung-hyun finally reached out and tried to grab Chae-yoon’s hand.
Chae-yoon hurriedly pulled out her hand and took a couple of steps forward.
“You must hold my hand!”
Chae-yoon waved her hand, slowly moving forward.
On the face of the playful child, Jo Sung-hyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Chae-yoon.
Chae-yoon laughs as if the face is funny.
Chae-yoon said to Jo Seong-hyeon that she should keep holding his hand and walked forward.

Maybe because of the padding, walking wasn’t very comfortable, Chaeyoon was walking backwards.
Jo Sung-hyun, who was chasing after the child, suddenly smiled at Chae-yoon.
‘Like a penguin.’
Although he was wearing yellow padding, he was walking around like a penguin.
The penguin turns and looks at Jo Sung-hyun.
“Dad! Come quickly!”
the child cried
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and walked quickly to Chae-yoon.
Just going to the company like this is different if you are with Chaeyoon.
The child was changing Jo Sung-hyun’s entire life.
* * *
Arriving at the company.
Jo Seong-hyeon put a finger to Chae-yoon’s lips and signaled that he should be quiet.
Of course, you don’t have to say anything without saying anything, but you shouldn’t make a fuss.
On the way home, he kept playing pranks, but inside the company, he shouldn’t.
Chae-yoon nodded and shut her mouth when Jo Sung-hyun signaled that she should be quiet.
The child did to the Little Mermaid what Jo Sung-hyun did to him.
I put my finger on it and brought it to the mermaid doll’s mouth.
Jo Seong-hyeon saw it and stroked Chae-yoon’s hair once, then took the child’s hand and walked away.
“There is an elevator.”
Chae-yoon, who was looking around, made a small noise at Seong-hyun’s words and got on the elevator.
I glanced at the time, and it was 1:50.
The practice room is reserved from 2:00 to 6:00, so now is the perfect time to go.
‘I’m going to have to wait a bit.’
If someone is using the practice room, you have to wait for a while. Otherwise, you don’t have to wait and just use it.
ding.
The elevator door opened with a small sound, and Chaeyoon looked around and got out of the elevator.
“I’m not here… .”
“I’m not going to the office today.”
“Yes… .”
Chae-yoon has been to Pan Entertainment several times, but it was the first time there was a practice room.
The child seemed to be a little unfamiliar with the idea that he would come to the office he always went to.
I told him I wasn’t going to the office, but Chae-yoon responded subtly and followed Jo Seong-hyeon.
Pan Entertainment pays a lot of attention to the trainees and spends quite a bit of money on the practice room they use the most.
So it’s always kept clean.
Chae-yoon exclaimed hey as she looked around the inside of the practice room seen through the small windows at the door of the practice room.
As I approached the practice room where the grand piano was, there was a very small piano sound.
“Looks like someone is still practicing.”
“Do you have a piano?”
Chae-yoon asked with twinkling eyes.
Jo Sung-hyun nodded and opened his mouth.
“yes. My dad asked Joong-won from my uncle so that Chae-yoon could practice the piano to her heart’s content.”
As I said that, the piano stopped playing.
Soon someone comes out of the practice room.
“uh?”
It was a face that Jo Sung-hyun didn’t know.
Looks like a trainee.
Seeing Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon in front of the practice room, she made a small sound, probably a little surprised.
“hello.”
Jo Sung-hyun greeted with a light smile.
Then the trainee hurriedly bowed his head and said hello.
“hello… This is trainee Yerin Lee.”
“Ah yes. I’m not a trainee, I’m Seong-hyeon Jo, who is currently producing Seo Ye-na’s album.”
I was just going to say hello and pass by, but as Yerin Lee introduced herself while bowing her head, Jo Sunghyun had to introduce herself with an awkward smile.
Seo Ye-na and Ye-rin Lee’s eyes widened at the words of album production.
“Jo Seong-hyun… Are you a producer?”
“Yep.”
“Wow, great.”
Lee Ye-rin raised her hand and covered her mouth and looked at Jo Sung-hyun.
Apparently, she knew herself.
