Jo Sung-hyun looked at Chae-yoon with a happy smile.
The child finished the stage brilliantly.
Seeing Chae-yoon getting up from her seat and bowing her head, Jo Sung-hyun was the first to raise her hand and applaud.
Only then did everyone come to their senses and applaud Chae-yoon.
The sound of applause filled the auditorium.
“really… You must have worked hard.”
Lee Soo-hyun mutters from the side.
It was the first time she had actually seen Chae-yoon play the piano properly.
After seeing the piano playing scene in a music video before, I haven’t seen it since.
I was very surprised and proud of it.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. Well done.”
At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Lee Soo-hyun nodded in affirmation.
It wasn’t just Lee Soo-hyun.
Jeong Mi-won and Yoo Jae-gyun, who were next to them, also looked at Jo Sung-hyun and said a word at a time.
“I can see that Chaeyoon really practiced a lot. So pretty.”
“Because the piano is different, it sounds a lot better than what I heard at home. I’m proud of you.”
Jo Sung-hyun smiled at their words.
Of course, proud.
Even if Chaeyoon wasn’t good at playing the piano, she would have been proud.
The child did her best, and Jo Sung-hyun was so proud of her child.
Being able to do my best at something is a great thing in itself.
Chaeyoon went down the stage again as she had come up on the stage.
Jo Sung-hyun could not hide his proud smile even after the child had left the stage.
The graduation ceremony continued.
It was so much fun to watch the children’s nursery rhymes of the lower grades and the short play that I prepared hard.
The final order of the graduation ceremony was ‘giving thanks’.
I had no idea what it was, but I didn’t know what it was until I saw the children rushing out and running to their parents and handing out letters.
It seems that the order was to deliver a letter of thanks.
Chae-yoon came along with Young-jun.
“Mom!”
Young-jun delivers a letter to Jeong Mi-won.
Chae-yoon looked at Jo Sung-hyun and smiled and held out the letter she was holding in her hand.
“Are you giving it to Dad?”
“yes.”
“Thank you, Chae Yoon-ah.”
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and received Chae-yoon’s letter.
what is written
What did Chae-yoon really think as she wrote this letter?
I was curious about the content, but the graduation ceremony wasn’t over yet.
Jo Sung-hyun kissed Chae-yoon’s forehead lightly.
The child smiled hehehe and then waved to Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Sung-hyeon also waved Chae-yoon’s hand, and the child quickly turned and headed towards the stage.
Young-jun waits for Chae-yoon and goes to the stage together.
After the other children delivered the letter to their parents, they gathered on the stage again.
There was some confusion.
The confusion created by the hard work of the children lining up and standing in formation.
When the size was set to a certain extent, calm music played from somewhere.
The children standing in formation opened their mouths at the same time and began to sing.
It is a song that is sung by changing a regular song to a song to express gratitude to parents.
Of course, the notes and beats weren’t perfect.
However, the hearts of the children were sufficiently conveyed.
Jo Sung-hyun looked at Chae-yoon.
– I want to grow up like my mother.
– I want to be like my dad.
It is a song of gratitude and respect.
Of course, the children are not singing with gratitude and respect, but it was enough to impress the parents here.
Next to me, I hear Jung Mi-won squealing slightly.
Jo Sung-hyun blinked his eyes.
I think the mouth shape of other children and Chaeyoon’s mouth shape are slightly different in the middle.
Thinking that the child made a mistake in the lyrics, Jo Sung-hyun focused on Chae-yoon.
I am looking at Chae-yoon, and the child makes eye contact with Seong-hyeon.
His eyes were curved like a half moon.
– Mom, thank you.
– Dad, I respect you.
The song goes on and on.
Jo Seong-hyeon was able to realize something while looking at the child.
The lyrics Chaeyun sang are a little different from the lyrics sung by other children.
It wasn’t a mistake.
The child was still smiling while looking at Jo Sung-hyun, and there was no sign of embarrassment.
-mom I love you.
-Dad, I love you.
Yes, that was definitely the lyrics.
But why?
Is Chae Yoon’s mouth the same?
Why does a child repeat the same lyrics?
When other children talk about mom and dad.
Why is Chae Yoon not doing that?
Jo Sung-hyun’s eyes were wet.
And eventually.
tuk.
A single tear fell on the back of Jo Sung-hyun’s hand.
fight.
Tears continued to flow, and he raised his hand and wiped the corner of his eye.
When Chae-yoon saw Jo Sung-hyun crying, only then did she show a slightly bewildered face.
Seeing such a child, Jo Seong-hyeon laughed hard.
At first, it wasn’t tears of sadness.
I’m so happy.
It was tears that came out because I was so thankful for the child.
The song ends.
-mom I love you.
-Dad, I love you.
Lyrics repeated again.
Chae-yoon also repeated.
‘Dad, I love you.’
‘Dad, I love you.’
I don’t know the appreciation and respect for the child’s song, but love was definitely there.
As much as Jo Sung-hyun loves children.
Chae-yoon was also in love with Seong-hyeon.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and looked at the child.
Chae-yoon was also smiling broadly.
* * *
After the children changed their clothes, they gathered in their respective classes.
Jo Sung-hyun headed to Chae-yoon’s class.
After taking a commemorative photo with the parents in each class, it’s all over.
Jo Sung-hyun and Lee Su-hyun stood behind Chae-yoon.
I glanced to the side to see if it was Mi-hyun’s parents, or people with their hands on Mi-hyun’s shoulder.
Yeongjun and Mihyun got along the best with Chaeyun, so I was curious about Mihyunie as well, but it was the first time I saw my parents.
Jo Seong-hyeon thought that he should say hello later, and turned his head toward Min Eun-jung.
“I’ll take a picture. One, two, three!”
After taking a few more pictures, Min Eun-jung opened her mouth.
“Yes, well done!”
“The teacher did a great job too!”
“I love you, teacher!”
Parents and students throw one word at a time at the words of Eun-Jeong Min.
At the words of a student that I love, Min Eun-jung’s eyes turn red.
She must have been mentally prepared in many ways while preparing for the graduation ceremony.

Min Eun-jung has been with this kindergarten for several years.
There were many children that I continued to know during that time.
Such children graduate, and as a teacher Min Eun-jung, it must be complicated.
Teacher Min Eun-jung, who showed a smile, greeted each of the children.
Jo Seong-hyeon knelt down and made eye contact with Chae-yoon.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“My dad also loves Chaeyoon a lot. know?”
“yes!”
The child smiles and nods his head.
Chae-yoon wrapped her arms around Jo Sung-hyun’s neck.
Jo Seong-hyun got up from his seat holding the child.
While Lee Soo-hyun was talking with Chae-yoon about Doran-do, Park Mi-hyun’s parents came to visit him.
“hello.”
“Ah, hello.”
“Are you Chae-yoon’s father?”
“Yes Yes. Mihyun’s father… .”
“Yes, I miss Mihyun. I heard you two are close, but I’m only seeing you now. haha.”
Park Jung-wook smiles and says.
Jo Sung-hyun nodded and opened his mouth.
“Iknow, right. If there is a chance later, I would like to have dinner together.”
Say hello to Park Mi-hyun’s parents.
“hello. father.”
“Oh, sir. Thank you so much for that.”
Sensei Min Eun-jung had a lot of trouble.
I was very grateful that he cared about Chaeyoon in many ways.
“no. I was grateful. It was nice to see Chaeyun so bright, but it’s a pity that she graduated so soon after how bright she was.”
From https://noblemtl.com
Min Eun-jung said that and held out her hand to Chae-yoon.
Chae Yoon-yi held hands with Min Eun-jeong, shook hands, and laughed out loud.
“Chae Yoon-ah, even if you go to elementary school, you have to have fun with your friends. Understand?”
“yes!”
Sensei Min Eun-jung was worried about Chae-yoon until the end.
In response to Chae Yoon-i’s answer, Min Eun-jung smiled and stroked Chae-yoon’s hair once, then moved to say hello to the other child.
“Shall we go home now?”
“yes.”
Jo Sung-hyeon, Chae-yoon, and Lee Soo-hyun left kindergarten together.
So the graduation ceremony was over.
Chae-yoon graduated from kindergarten, and a new world was about to unfold for her.
* * *
After the graduation ceremony, after having dinner with Lee Soo-hyeon, Chae-yoon slept late because she talked until late.
11 o’clock.
Jo Sung-hyun was getting up first and preparing breakfast.
The child came into the kitchen with sleepy eyes and looked at Jo Sung-hyun.
“Dad?”
“yes. Chae Yoon-ah, are you awake?”
nod.
The child nods his head.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and poured the soup into a small bowl.
Seong-hyeon Seong put the two bowls down on the table and put the child on the chair.
“Let’s eat now.”
“I will enjoy this food.”
The child rubbed his eyes a few times and then looked up at the table with a vivid expression on his face.
Chaeyoon liked to eat very much, and it seemed that she had run away from sleep thinking about having breakfast.
The menu was nothing special.
Soup with potatoes and bacon, toast, fried egg and sausage.
Cho Seong-hyeon cut the sausage into bite-size pieces and gave it to Chae-yoon.
The child quickly moves the fork, dips the sausage and puts it in his mouth.
Jo Sung-hyeon also started eating.
Having eaten the soup and toast first, he took a bite of the sausage.
Chae-yoon also puts soup and bread in her mouth and murmurs.
Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth with a smirk.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“Do you know what day it is today?”
At his question, the child pondered for a moment.
As if he remembered it right away, he nodded his head and answered.
“The day I go to the concert!”
“right. I have to go to the concert, so should I eat and prepare quickly?”
“okay!”
The concert is in the evening, but from quite a distance.
I thought it would be better to prepare in advance and set off to spend time nearby.
By the time the concert starts, you can say that Chaeyoon is hungry, so before that, she has to eat something.
They finished breakfast, got ready, and left the house.
“let’s go!”
As if a little excited, Chae-yoon grabbed Seong-hyun’s hand and pulled him out and shouted.
Jo Sung-hyeon smiled and moved as she was led by the child’s hand.
Until then, they had no idea who they would meet when they went to a concert.
