Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yun left work with their heavy bodies.
“Good job, Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Dad!”
Chaeyoon was tired, but still answered with a bright voice.
When the child saw Jo Sung-hyun taking off his coat, he took off his clothes too.
He waits for Jo Seong-hyeon to hang his coat on a hanger, and when he hangs his coat, he hands over his coat as well.
Jo Sung-hyeon, who smiled lightly at the child’s behavior, took Chae-yoon’s coat and hung it on a hanger.
Today I felt like I was working a lot more than usual.
I was so focused that I even skipped lunch, and recording vocals was quite physically demanding.
After Choi Woo-jin told me to fix it myself, I tried to modify Choi Woo-jin’s song a little to fit Yumi, but two hours passed by too quickly.
Thanks to this, both Chae-yoon and Seong-hyeon were quite tired.
“Chae Yoon-ah, do you want to wash up and change clothes?”
As Jo Sung-hyun speaks to Chae-yoon, Chae-yoon comes down from the sofa with a slightly dissatisfied face.
Seeing the child lying on the sofa approaching him, Jo Sung-hyun laughed.
It’s annoying, but it’s cute to come to wash right away when Jo Sung-hyun speaks.
“Are you tired?”
“No, it’s okay.”
Despite the signs of exhaustion, when Jo Sung-hyun asked if it was difficult, Chae-yoon shook his head hastily.
If it is difficult, it seems that he is worried that he will not take him with him next time.
“Dad is tough. Our Chae-yoon is amazing.”
“tiring?”
“yes. Daddy is a little tough, isn’t it?”
“… I can wash by myself. Daddy go to sleep!”
Hearing that Jo Seong-hyeon is having a hard time, Chae-yoon, who paused for a moment, points to the main room and says:
At the child’s actions, Jo Sung-hyun felt the fatigue disappear.
Working was fun.
It was a little difficult, but it was nothing to the extent that I didn’t feel tired even with one of Chaeyoon’s actions.
I wanted to be with my child for a long time.
It’s good to just play, and it’s good to work together like today.
“Daddy needs to wash. And we haven’t had dinner yet?”
“right. You have to eat dinner.”
He ate lunch a little late, so he wasn’t hungry yet, but he was sure to become hungry soon.
After I shower and change into my pajamas, I have to prepare a meal quickly.
“Let’s go in. I have to wash.”
“yes.”
Chae-yoon walked into the bathroom with Seong-hyeon.
after washing afterwards.
Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yun changed into comfortable clothes.
Chae-yoon wore the pajamas she always wears, and Jo Seong-hyun wore a tee in comfortable sweatpants.
“What do you want for dinner?”
“anything.”
“Well… .”
In response to the child’s answer, Jo Sung-hyun opened the refrigerator.
Chae-yoon comes over to Seong-hyeon’s leg and examines the inside of the refrigerator.
Jo Seong-hyeon, who was quietly examining the inside of the refrigerator, opened the cupboard right next to it.
“There is curry. Would you like to have curry? I think meat would be fine.”
“I love it. There is also kimchi that my grandmother made.”
“Yes. I can make curry and eat it with my grandmother’s kimchi.”
“yes.”
If there was something like chicken nuggets, we would eat it together, but unfortunately it wasn’t.
Chaeyoon likes it, so I often buy it, but it looks like it’s all gone.
Still, the child seems excited about eating the curry.
He said he was hungry right away, and saw him clinging to Jo Seong-hyeon’s leg.
There are not many vegetables, so Jo Sung-hyun decided to use onions as the main dish.
After cutting the onion, grease it with cooking oil and place it on the wok.
Jo Sung-hyeon sliced the meat, stirring occasionally to avoid burning the onion.
The meat is also cut into bite-sized pieces, and when the onion turns dark, add the meat.
Perhaps because the delicious smell started to spread little by little, Chaeyoon swallowed her saliva.
“I’m hungry?”
“… little?”
Chae-yoon answers Jo Sung-hyun’s question.
“Dad will do it right away.”
“yes. I can wait.”
“I think Dad would be very grateful if Chae-yoon prepared a meal while he was waiting.”
With those words, the child quickly ran to the table and climbed into the chair.
Organize your spoons and chopsticks and set them aside.
I ran to the refrigerator, took out the kimchi, and put it on the table.

Meanwhile, Jo Seong-hyeon was sprinkling pepper and preparing to pour water.
After adding water and finally adding curry powder, Jo Sung-hyun glanced behind him.
Chae-yoon is sitting on a chair at the dining table and looking at Seong-hyeon.
“Chae Yoon-ah. Shall we take one yogurt out of the refrigerator?”
“yes!”
Curry isn’t very spicy, but if you eat it with kimchi, Chaeyoon might get spicy.
The child goes to the refrigerator and takes out the yogurt.
Jo Sung-hyun finished the curry by gently stirring.
Set rice and curry.
“I will enjoy this food!”
“It’s hot. Blow it up and eat it.”
Seeing the child lift the spoon, Jo Seong-hyeon said hurriedly.
Then Chae-yoon stopped and carefully scooped it out and blows the wind.
After Jo Seong-hyeon confirmed that the child was eating the curry, he started eating himself.
It’s already past 8 o’clock.
I wanted to eat quickly and rest.
“Fufu.”
Chae-yoon blows the curry in her bowl and cools it hard.
Because it was hot, the speed of eating was not fast.
Jo Seong-hyeon, who watched Chae-yoon quietly while eating slowly, opened her mouth.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“If it’s very good, you can eat yogurt.”
“right. yogurt.”
Chae-yoon was having a hard time with the addition of heat and a little bit of spiciness.
The child realized that there was yogurt in Jo Sung-hyun’s words.
Jo Seong-hyeon brought a small straw and put it in the yogurt.
Chae-yoon sucks the side yogurt.
“tasty?”
“yes! The curry is delicious, the kimchi is delicious, and the yogurt is delicious.”
The child answered with a pleasant face, and Jo Sung-hyun laughed at the child’s answer.
“It must be difficult working with Dad, but thank you for helping me a lot, Chae Yoon-ah.”
The kid really helped a lot.
It’s not just that things are going well because Chaeyoon is there, but Jo Seong-hyeon with the child was able to get ideas while discussing music.
When a problem arises, I also thought of a solution to it through conversation with Chaeyoon.
Jo Sung-hyun thought that it would be good to work with Chae-yoon, actually, because he thought it might broaden the child’s horizons.
But now… .
‘It’s not that Chaeyoon’s field of view is getting wider, it’s that my field of view is broadening.’
Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself and looked at Chae-yoon with soft eyes.
The child smiled and opened his mouth.
“Thank you too!”
“what?”
“Because my father is Chae-yoon’s father.”
After saying that, he chuckled and laughed.
Jo Sung-hyun’s eyes were curved in the shape of a half moon.

My heart warms.
“… I love you. Dad loves our Chae-yoon so much.”
“I love you too!”
After saying that, Chae-yoon shifts her gaze to Curry.
Jo Sung-hyun looked at the child with infinitely friendly eyes.
It was a warm winter evening.
* * *
the next evening.
Chae Yoon-i and Jo Seong-hyeon set out to meet Seo Ye-na.
After thinking about what to eat, I decided to go to a sushi restaurant.
After making a reservation, we decided to see it at the restaurant.
Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yun were able to arrive 10 minutes early.
“I made a reservation.”
“His name is… This is Seong-Hyun Jo.”
“Ah yes. Confirmed. Please wait in the party.”
I arrived 10 minutes early, but I didn’t think Seo Ye-na would come first and wait.
Jo Seong-hyeon hurried to the room with the child.
The sliding door opens.
Seo Ye-na turns her head and looks at Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon.
“hello. Jena. We are a little late.”
“I came early, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Seo Ye-na waved her hand and said.
I had already found out what kind of food there was, so I finished ordering without any hesitation.
They started talking in earnest only after the employee left.
“… To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be this difficult.”
Seo Ye-na opened her mouth first.
Seong-Hyeon Cho nodded his head.
It was Seo Ye-na, who showed a strong desire for music.
Also, when we broke up last week, the next time we meet, she said that she would come along with the song.
Seeing her unconfident, Yena Seo already tried several times and realized that it was impossible to get it right.
If anyone else didn’t know, there’s no way Yena Seo wouldn’t know.
She was also a musician, and of course she could tell whether she saved the song or not.
“The emotional line itself was an emotional line that was difficult to follow, so it is natural for it to be difficult.”
Jo Sung-hyun spoke in a calm voice.
Seo Ye-na still looked like she had not given up on the song.
I haven’t heard the song yet, but if it’s a result that Seo Ye-na herself doesn’t have confidence in… .
‘Perhaps, me and Chaeyoon as well.’
I wouldn’t be able to allow Seo Ye-na to sing ‘Mom’.
“I thought I wasn’t the type that couldn’t capture emotions, but I’ll admit it. This song was hard to capture. It’s too complex, and I can’t figure out all the meanings.”
“As the title suggests, this song was written by Chae Yoon while thinking of her mother.”
“So I tried to call her while thinking of her too.”
As soon as Jo Sung-hyun finished speaking, Seo Ye-na spoke.
At her words, Jo Sung-hyun stopped and looked at Seo Ye-na.
In Seo Ye-na’s voice, there was an emotion that had never been expressed before.
It is an emotion that we do not know whether it is anger, loneliness, or love or hate.
“My mom and dad didn’t treat me like a person.”
“… … .”
To Seo Ye-na’s slurred words, Jo Seong-hyeon couldn’t answer easily.
What can Jo Sung-hyun say about her family history?
“When I was in high school, I packed my bag and left the house with soy milk… .”
“soy milk?”
Seo Ye-na is talking, but Chae-yoon intervenes.
“It’s the name of the dog my sister had at the time. He was black, so I even teased him for black soybean milk.”
Seo Ye-na, who explained to Chae-yoon, continued.
“I just met my sister that day”
“Are you Kyungsoo Woo, the team leader?”
I couldn’t think of anyone who could call Seo Ye-na as her sister except for team leader Woo Kyung-soo.
“Who is it?”
“… … .”
“Anyway, at that time, my sister gave me a business card and asked me to put her to sleep because I was going to sign a contract.”
I had no idea that such a situation existed.
The fact that Jo Sung-hyun did not know meant that few people within the company knew about this fact.
Seo Ye-na continued to speak.
“I signed a contract that way and I have come this far. The title of the song is Mom, so I tried to sing it while thinking of my mom… I just couldn’t do it.”
she said
Jo Sung-hyun seemed to understand why Seo Ye-na so strongly wanted the song ‘Mom’.
And, that’s why Cho Sung-hyun was even more confident.
Seo Ye-na should not call ‘Mom’.
She couldn’t keep the song alive.
Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth carefully.
And that moment.
“then… .”
“I do not like it.”
Chae-yoon cut off Jo Sung-hyun’s words and said.
The child’s voice was firm.
Apparently, this time too, Chae Yoon-yi and Jo Sung-hyun’s opinions overlapped.
