Shinryeo Hotel.
A hotel located in the heart of Seoul.
There is a famous restaurant where people who are not staying at the hotel come to eat.
If Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yun had eaten together, they probably wouldn’t have gone there.
However, Park Han-yul and his mother had made a reservation, and increasing the number of people was not a problem, so we decided to go together.
“Since we have a separate private room in the restaurant, even if the number of people is added, the price will not be added.”
“is that so?”
“Yes, is it fun? It can accommodate up to 6 people, but the price is the same if six people come and eat, or one person comes and eats.”
As we moved to the hotel, I heard explanations from Park Han-yul’s mother.
‘Anyway, it must be very expensive.’
It’s a restaurant called Continental at the Shilla Hotel, and it was a restaurant that Seong-hyeon Cho had heard of several times.
I said that a regular course meal costs at least 100,000 won, but if you get a private room in the restaurant and the price is the same regardless of the number of people… Obviously, the price was quite high.
Jo Sung-hyun glanced behind him.
Chae-yoon and Park Han-yul were sitting next to each other, but they didn’t say anything.
When Jo Seong-hyun turned his head, Chae-yoon smiled, and Park Han-yul looked at Chae-yoon, felt Jo Sung-hyun’s gaze, and gently turned away.
It looked so awkward, Jo Sung-hyun burst into laughter.
He spoke first.
“Han Yul-ah.”
“yes?”
He didn’t know that Jo Sung-hyun would call him, but Park Han-yul flinched in response.
“When you learn piano from Sylvia, what part do you usually point out a lot?”
It was to talk to Park Han-yul and get to know him, but it was also a question that Jo Sung-hyun was personally curious about.
What do really great pianists usually pay attention to?
Park Han-yul kept his mouth shut for a while, wondering if he was thinking about the points he was pointed out, and then answered after a while.
Chae-yoon was also looking at Park Han-yul, wondering if she was curious about Park Han-yul’s answer.
“You often say that you have to have a lot of emotions.”
“ah.”
Jo Sung-hyun nodded at Park Han-yul’s answer.
Actually, Park Han-yul’s performance was a bit textbook-like.
what is it
Chae-yoon emphasizes emotion and freedom rather than form, and Park Han-yul, on the other hand, places more importance on form.
Cho Sung-hyun’s music seems to be trying to strike a balance between them.
Having just listened to Sylvia Garcia’s performance, I thought I could understand why Sylvia Garcia was saying that to Park Han-yul.
I wondered what kind of story Chaeyoon would have heard if she had taken lessons from Sylvia.
“right. My brother is so… I’m scared.”
Jo Seong-hyun was thinking about Chae-yoon and Sylvia Garcia, and then suddenly stiffened at the sudden voice of Chae-yoon.
Cho Sung-hyun was not the only one who had a hardened body.
Park Han-yul also looked at Chae-yoon with bewildered eyes.
Jo Sung-hyun was a little surprised at the name ‘oppa’ that came out so naturally.
Park Han-yul seemed surprised by what Chae-yoon said rather than the name.
“Am I afraid?”
Park Han-yul looked at Chae-yoon and asked.
Chaeyoung nodded without hesitation.
“You just have to do whatever you want… You’re afraid and you don’t do what you want.”
the child says
Cho Seong-hyeon did not fully understand the child’s words, but after reconsidering Park Han-yul’s piano, he could sympathize to some extent.
A little hesitation seemed right.

Maybe it’s a feeling similar to Seo Ye-na.
Park Han-yul frowned at Chae-yoon’s words.
It wasn’t that he got annoyed or said anything about his piano carelessly.
However, it was an action that came naturally while thinking about something.
Park Han-yul had a complicated face, and the moment when Chae-yoon wanted to say more.
“Come on, we have arrived.”
Park Han-yul’s mother stopped the car and spoke.
The conversation between Chae-yoon and Park Han-yul also ended there.
Jo Sung-hyeon reached out to Chae-yoon, and the child held her hand as if waiting.
“pretty… .”
Chaeyoon muttered and looked at the hotel blankly.
The glass decorations were elongated, and the glitter was definitely pretty.
I have never been to the Shinryeo Hotel in my life, and I think I can understand why people want to visit it at least once.
The restaurant, Continental, was located on the 23rd floor.
As soon as they got on the elevator, the staff greeted them.
“I made a reservation. This is Ahn So-hyun.”
“welcome. Customer, we will guide you.”
Only then did Jo Seong-hyeon know the name of Park Han-yul’s mother.
click.
The door opens with a small sound.
There was a large table and only 4 chairs were prepared.
All dishes were set.
As we sat down, the staff carefully poured the water.
“Is there any food you can’t eat?”
Ahn So-hyun asks.
There is nothing to hide
In terms of preference, I would say that I like meat more than vegetables, but that doesn’t mean I don’t eat vegetables.
“There is not.”
“Then give me what you have prepared.”
Ahn So-hyun looked at the staff and said, bowing her head slightly to answer and backed away.
“Very high.”
Jo Sung-hyun said while looking at the large window on the right.
It was winter, so the night came early.
It was only a little late in the evening, but the sun had not gone down.
Thanks to this, they were able to enjoy a wonderful night view, and it was one of the most beautiful night views I’ve seen in Seong-hyeon’s life.
“Night view, okay?”
“Yeah, that’s great.”
Jo Seong-hyeon and Ahn So-hyeon had simple conversations, while Chae-yoon looked around to see if this space itself was strange.
It was just a room for eating, but there were a lot of decorations.
Park Han-yul sat silently, perhaps still contemplating what Chae-yoon had said earlier.
Soon after, the first food was served.
Bread and butter.
The staff briefly explains the food and walks away.
“Both unsalted and salted butter are prepared, so try it once and you’ll be fine.”
“thank you.”
Ahn So-hyun and Park Han-yul started eating bread accustomed to it.
Jo Sung-hyun spread a little butter on Chae-yoon’s bread and took a bite of the bread himself.
It was soft, and the flavor of butter spread throughout the mouth.
“… It’s delicious.”
Jo Sung-hyun blinked and looked at the bread once.
Everyone who says that bread is just bread, must come here at least once.
If you feed him this bread once and then ask him to say it again, he probably won’t say anything.
“Looks delicious.”
Talking, Park Han-yul speaks.
His gaze turned to Chae-yoon.
Jo Sung-hyun turned his head and looked at Chae-yoon.
The child took a bite of the bread, paused and smiled.
“yes. tasty.”
“Would you like to eat one more of mine?”
I said that Park Han-yul would yield one of his bread.
dory dory.
Chaeyoung shook her head.
“it’s okay.”
“… Well, something else will keep coming. It’s better not to eat too much in the first place.”
“yes!”
At Park Han-yul’s words, Chae-yoon nodded and responded as if yes.
Jo Sung-hyun let out a smirk.
He refused bread, so he wanted to do something, but it seems he wanted to eat a lot of other foods as well.
After eating the pre-dinner bread, salad came out.
Salad with fish.
Chae-yoon ate the salad diligently.
The child eagerly ate the food whether it was tasty or not, and waited for the next dish.
And the dishes that came out were soup with minnow and Korean beef tenderloin steak.
“Hey… .”
The child had a happy face until she ate the soup, and then smiled broadly as soon as the steak came out, perhaps unbearable.
He seems to remember the last time we ate steak with Yumi.
Jo Sung-hyeon cut Chae-yoon’s steak and started eating the steak in front of him little by little.
Wine salt, lemon salt, and regular salt were prepared, so Jo Seong-hyeon enjoyed the steak with salt.
He continued to chat with Ahn So-hyun while eating.
Chae-yoon and Park Han-yul also exchanged words from time to time and started to talk little by little.
By the time you finish your main dish.
Park Han-yul turned to Chae-yoon and opened her mouth.
“next week.”
When he opened his mouth, Chae-yoon raised his head, and Jo Seong-hyeon glanced at Park Han-yul.
“I have a Christmas party. Will you come too?”
At Park Han-yul’s words, Jo Seong-hyeon burst into laughter.
Somehow that reminds me of Yeongjun.
when was it
I think Yeongjun once said something similar to Chaeyoon.
Jo Sung-hyun wondered how Chae-yoon would react.
If there’s a Christmas party, it’s not difficult to attend.
I didn’t have any plans other than to go on a trip with Yeongjun from Saturday next week.
I was a little worried that I might not be able to tell where to put it or not for nothing, but Hanyul Park personally invited me.
Now, Park Han-yul was asking a sincere question, and Jo Seong-hyun didn’t want to say that we couldn’t do it there.
“Christmas party… .”
Chaeyoon muttered, as if a little bit interested.
First of all, Christmas and party were combined, but it could not be without interest.
“right. We don’t have a Christmas party. It would be great if Chaeyoon could come too.”
Ahn So-hyeon looks at Chae-yoon and says it’s fine.
Chae-yoon wanted to go, but she didn’t seem to want it very much.
It looks like it would be fun to go, but it feels like it’s okay not to go.
In the end, Jo Seong-hyeon smiled and called the child.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“I want to go?”
“little… ?”
“Hanyul invited me. Shall we go with Dad?”
“okay!”
Chae-yoon nodded her head as she answered.
The corners of Park Han-yul’s lips rise slightly and then come back down.
When the child answered, Jo Sung-hyun smiled and opened his mouth to Ahn So-hyun.
“Thank you so much for inviting me to the party. If Hanyul is with me, I think Chaeyoon will be able to have fun too.”
“ah… Actually, I don’t really have any close friends, so when Hanyul goes, I play alone. But if there is Chaeyoon, I think Hanyul will like it too.”
Ahn So-hyun says
At her words, Park Han-yul looked at Ahn So-hyun with a face that seemed to say everything.
However, as if she was not wrong, Park Han-yul showed signs of trying to hide her favorite tea.
“What are you doing at the party?”
“Just don’t do anything. Kids chat with kids, and adults chat with adults.”
To Chae-yoon’s words, Park Han-yul answers instead.
Perhaps he did not understand his answer, the child tilted his head.
“Is it a party?”
“It’s all about the party.”
Park Han-yul spoke in a tone that talked about the obvious, and Chae-yoon blinked her eyes and then nodded her head once.
The next food was being served, and Chae-yoon’s mind was already on the food.
Party is good for children, but the food right in front of you is more important.
While I was eating, Ahn So-hyun made a small noise.
“By the way, you said that Ms. Sylvia is also attending this party, so maybe we’ll see you at the party.”
Ahn So-hyun said.
And at her words, Chae-yoon raised her head and looked at Ahn So-hyun.
Rather than going to a party with Park Han-yul, the food in front of you, and more than the food in front of you… Sylvia Garcia caught the attention of The Chaeyoon.
The child’s eyes were shining strangely.
Now, the way Chaeyoon treats the party has changed a lot.
I could feel the desire to go to the party quickly from the look in my eyes.
