The ice park was literally a park covered in ice and snow.
There are cartoon characters standing here and there in winter clothes.
Children who come with their parents and students who come to play with their friends catch my eye.
It would be Chaeyun’s first time here, but it was the same for Seonghyeon.
A large ice rink in the center.
Dozens of people were already skating, and on the outside you could even ride a sleigh driven by someone dressed as Santa.
There were also doors that went out, and if you look at the sledding slope written on the doors, it looks like you can ride a sled.
Jo Seong-hyeon also looked around frantically and figured out what to do with the child first.
Chae-yoon takes a step back and hugs Jo Sung-hyun’s leg as if it were wrapped around her.
He seemed a little surprised by the larger interior than expected.
Jo Seong-hyeon gently stroked the child’s hair once, then took Chae-yoon’s hand and went down the stairs.
As soon as I went down the stairs, what I saw was a sleigh led by an employee in a Santa costume.
Fortunately, the worries about what to do are gone.
Because it seemed like I would have to ride the sled in front of me first.
“The King!”
‘Are you a husky?’
I didn’t see it until I went down the stairs, and there was not only a sleigh led by Santa Claus, but also a sled led by six dogs.
Jo Sung-hyun scratched his cheek as he saw the panting dogs.
The dogs were really cute.
But at the same time, Jo Sung-hyun was worried.
Isn’t it hard to keep pulling the sled here?
Such thoughts come to mind.
Of course, since Jo Sung-hyun couldn’t understand the thoughts of the dogs, I can’t judge or say that the dogs that pull the sled are happy or not happy.
“Chae Yoon-ah, shall we ride that?”
Still, Cho Seong-hyeon, at least himself, did not want to ride a sled led by dogs.
It would be fun, and it was clear that Chaeyoon would be excited too… .
‘I can ride something else, but there’s no need to ride a sled pulled by dogs.’
It’s a personal choice, and Jo Seong-hyeon chose to ride something else because he didn’t need to ride it.
Fortunately, Chae-yoon showed great interest in Santa Claus.
“welcome. It’s Santa’s sleigh!”
The staff smiles happily.
Jo Seong-hyeon lightly bowed his head, said hello, and got on the sled.
After Chae-yoon took a seat and Jo Seong-hyun took a seat.
The sled set off.
The child gently touched Seong-hyeon’s leg.
“Dad.”
“yes?”
“Why is that man wearing that suit?”
“… You’re imitating Santa Claus.”
“why… ?”
To that question, Jo Sung-hyun had to ponder for a while as to what to answer.
If you ask me why I am imitating Santa Claus, what would my answer be?
I can’t answer that I’m working.
“Santa is a good person. They also give gifts to children.”
In the end, that was the best answer Jo Sung-hyun thought.
Then, Chae-yoon tilts her head.
“gift?”
“yes.”
“Youngjun said there is no Santa Claus.”
“… okay?”
“yes.”
“What do you think, Chae-yoon? Do you think there is Santa Claus? Or do you think there is none?”
“Umm… .”
At Jo Sung-hyun’s question, Chae-yoon frowned with a serious face.
The boy, who had been rolling his head hard, finally opened his mouth.
“There is no Santa Claus!”
“okay? why?”
“Has Chaeyun never received a present from Santa Claus?”
“ah… .”
Jo Sung-hyun had no choice but to let out a small voice at those words.
I’ve never received a present from Santa, so there’s no Santa.
In Chaeyun’s opinion, it was a natural logic.
Of course, if it had been Jo Sung-hyun’s position, I would have answered that way.
If you didn’t receive the gift, what would you think?
Jo Sung-hyun closed his eyes tightly and then opened it.
This too, Jo Sung-hyun thought was his fault.
There are those who believe that Santa Claus exists and some who believe that there is none.
Isn’t it too sad to say that you don’t have a gift because you didn’t receive it?
I definitely remember doing something at least for Christmas every year until my mother passed away.
But, after that?
Seong-hyeon Cho had never even celebrated Christmas.
Christmas is a day of events in many places.
That also meant that there were quite a few places where artists would perform.
Everyone wanted to take a break during the holidays, and Jo Sung-hyun had no particular desire to rest.
Then what will happen?
Naturally, Jo Seong-hyeon will be working.
After doing that, Chae-yoon stopped believing in Santa Claus.
“Im here. Have a great time at the ice park!”
A staff dressed in Santa’s costume greets you with a cheerful smile.
“Thank you!”
After Chae-yoon waved her hand to say hello, she got off the sleigh.
Jo Seong-hyeon got down first and took the child as if to hold it.
“Chae Yoon-ah. Isn’t it cold?”
“yes. It’s not cold.”
Because it was indoors, it was called an ice park, but it was warmer than outside.
Rather than turning on the heater to warm it on purpose, there is no wind, and there seems to be a system that just maintains the proper temperature.
“Shall we go skating?”
“… I think it will hurt if I fall.”
“Can’t Daddy catch me? So that Chaeyoon doesn’t fall.”
“What if Dad falls too?”
“Well… To fall or not to fall, shall we take a ride?”
Sunghyun asked with a smile.
Chae-yoon seemed hesitant a little, but eventually nodded as if she wanted to ride.
It was his first time skating.
It wasn’t the first time Jo Seong-hyeon had ridden it, but I don’t think I’ve ridden it for at least a decade.
The last time I rode it was right after we got married.
“I wear a helmet. You’ll need knee pads to get in.”
At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Chae-yoon gently stretched out her legs.
Cho Seong-hyun put a protector on the child’s knee and put a helmet on it.
Before the child started skating, Jo Seong-hyeon, who quickly put on a knee protector and helmet, gave Chae-yoon the skates first.
After that, Jo Sung-hyeon also put on skates and reached out to Chae-yoon.
“Wake up slowly. ‘Cause you might fall slowly.”
Chae-yoon carefully stood up, holding Seong-hyeon with both hands.
Skating for the first time is really hard to get used to.
Chaeyoon also got up and continued to stumble.
However, after standing depending on Jo Sung-hyun for a while, he smiles as if he’s okay.
“What do you think? it’s okay?”
“yes.”
“Shall we go on the ice?”
At Jo Sung-hyun’s question, Chae-yoon turns her head to look at the ice rink, then nods her head.
As soon as I got on the ice rink, Jo Sung-hyun was surprised that I couldn’t get used to it.
It wasn’t that I almost lost my balance, but I was a little surprised by the feeling that something was coming out.
However, he could get used to it right away, perhaps thanks to his original skating experience.
Jo Seong-hyeon held the child’s hands so that Chae-yoon wouldn’t fall on the ice, so that he could climb onto the ice carefully.
“Huh?”
As soon as she climbed onto the ice, Chaeyoon lost her balance and tried to fall.
Jo Seong-hyeon hurriedly gave strength to his arm and held the child so that he would not fall.
Fortunately, Chae-yoon was able to quickly regain her balance thanks to Jo Seong-hyun’s catch.
Surprised, the child grabbed Seong-hyeon’s hand tightly.
“Are you okay, Chae Yoon-ah?”
“Yes… .”
unsure voice.
But it didn’t seem like he was just afraid.
It was because his face was excited rather than scared.
Chae-yoon carefully started sliding on the ice using the skates.
It must be a completely different feeling from just walking, but fortunately, the child learns to skate quickly… .
“Huh!”
The moment the child staggers and screams.
Jo Sung-hyeon hurriedly stretched out his arms and grabbed Chae-yoon’s arms and waist to support him so he wouldn’t fall.
Again, it seemed that it would take a little time to learn how to skate.
“Are you scared?”
dory dory.
I almost fell twice, so when Jo Sung-hyun asked, Chae-yoon gave an unexpected answer.
The boy shook his head to let him know he wasn’t scared.
“you can do it.”
The child says it like that and tries again.
Rather than seeing it from a distance, it seems that it is not as scary as I thought when I actually rode it.

Maybe it was because when Chae-yoon was about to fall, Jo Seong-hyun grabbed everything so she didn’t fall.
Chae-yoon carefully glided over the ice.
Jo Seong-hyeon was right next to the child, and Chae-yoon was close to him in case he fell.
Fortunately, the child was able to quickly get used to skating.
It’s still staggering, but it’s a lot less frequent than it was the first time.
“Dad!”
For the first time, Chae-yoon stood without relying on Jo Sung-hyun.
The child smiled broadly and called Jo Sung-hyun.
“Chae-yoon is very good at skating.”
“Hehe.”
As Jo Seong-hyeon smiles softly and speaks, Chae-yoon rolls her feet forward with a pleasant face.
how far forward
Chae-yoon stumbled into Seong-hyun’s arms.
Jo Sung-hyun pats Chae-yoon on the back and smiles.
“Good job, Chae Yoon-ah.”
The child rubbed his head in Jo Sung-hyun’s arms.
He felt the unique hard feel of the helmet, so Jo Sung-hyun just laughed.
Chae Yoon-yi and Seong-hyeon Jo skated for about 40 minutes.
It was only a 40 minute ride, and I was out of breath for why it was so hard.
At the beginning, Chae-yoon, who kept staggering and falling, luckily was able to skate to the point where she did not fall easily by herself in the end.
Seeing a child laughing and laughing while skating makes Jo Sung-hyeon laugh of its own accord.
Even though I had just come and skated, I was already exhausted.
It’s Jo Seong-hyeon. Actually, I usually exercise, and there were many times when I was forced to march as a manager, so it’s okay, but I was worried about Chae-yoon.
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
In the end, Jo Seong-hyeon took off his protective gear and even took off his skates.
“Chae Yoon-ah, can you take off your coat for a moment?”
It seems that the child is too hot, so Jo Sung-hyeon accepted Chae-yoon’s coat.
Jo Seong-hyeon took the child’s hand and sat down on a nearby bench.
There were benches all over the place, and there was even a space to eat separately next to it.
After sitting still and resting, I wanted to ask Chae-yoon if I should buy something to drink.
Chae-yoon’s eyes were directed somewhere.
As I move my gaze, I see a shop selling churros.
“… Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“Want to eat churros?”
“Turus?”
“yes. that.”
Cho Sung-hyun reached out and pointed to the churros.
Chaeyoung’s eyes twinkled and shone.
The child nodded with anticipation.
