The incident that took place centered on Dolce, the cat, ended with Chae Yoon-yi apologizing and stroking her.
With a hesitant laugh, Chaeyoon stroked Dolce.
“I don’t know much about cats, so what happens to Dolce’s species?”
“Raga is a piece of paper called a muffin. It’s cute.”
Shinhwa replied with a soft smile.
Jo Sung-hyun nodded his head with an ‘ah’ sound at the first name he had ever heard.
Sometimes it’s like something you’d see in a movie.
His hair was fluffy, so Chaeyoon’s clothes were already covered with Dolce’s hair.
The kid didn’t seem to care at all.
Jo Seong-hyeon didn’t even care about getting hair on his clothes.
However, the fact that Chaeyoon has such a happy expression on her face is a bit of a concern.
Of course, the happy smile of the child was to make Jo Sung-hyun laugh too, but… .
‘I wish I could smile like that at home.’
When a child goes home, it is not often that he smiles like that.
Of course, it was true that he enjoyed spending time with Jo Sung-hyun.
Because Jo Sung-hyun knew that Chae-yoon was really happy.
But that doesn’t mean he always looks like that.
When it comes to music, Chaeyoon is happy, but there are times when her face is infinitely serious.
There are times when I get into trouble and groan for a long time about how to do it.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have time to just have fun without thinking about it?
‘If you have a pet… Chae-yoon wants to like it.’
I usually didn’t think about pets at all, but seeing that Chaeyoon likes her like that… I suddenly had a thought.
He quickly stopped thinking about it.
Pets were not something that could be kept with the desire to keep them.
It cannot be taken lightly, and of course, I had to feel a heavy responsibility for my pets.
To be honest, Jo Sung-hyun wasn’t confident.
If I were to raise a child like Dolce, I had to do a lot of things and take responsibility… .
‘In the past life, what kind of pet is a person who can’t take responsibility for his own daughter.’
It was clear why he had no choice but to give up on owning a pet.
Jo Sung-hyeon and Chae-yoon are just too overwhelming.
Chae-yoon was stroking Dolce hard, but Dolce came up on the sofa with a slow movement.
Dolce passed over Jo Seong-hyeon’s bridge, took a seat right next to him, and fell on his face.
Chae-yoon smiles and looks at Dolce.
Cho Seong-hyeon took a cookie and gave it to Chae-yoon, and Chae-yoon opened his mouth and quickly took the cookie and ate it.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
Chae-yoon, who was preoccupied with Dolce, responded a little late to Jo Seong-hyun’s call.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled lightly and continued.
“Do you like Dolce that much?”
“yes! cute… cool!”
Chaeyoon, who was about to say cute, made eye contact with Dolce and changed her words in a hurry.
Nervous laughs out loud.
“I think I can come and play with Dolce often.”
“… really?”
At Shinhwa’s words, Chaeyoon asked with twinkling eyes.
Seeing the child’s eyes, Shin Kyung-hwa reached out and gently stroked Chae-yoon’s hair.
Chae-yoon did not refuse Shin-hwa’s touch.
“Then, of course not.”
“thank you!”
The child said thank you in a pleasant voice.
Shinhwa nodded his head, and then got up from his seat.
“Then let Dolce rest now, shall we play the piano?”
“… yes!”
Chaeyoon glanced at Dolce to see if she had any regrets, then looked at the piano and answered brightly.
I like Dolce, but in the end, Chaeyoon’s favorite was the piano.
I couldn’t imagine Chae-yoon refusing to play the piano.
The child quickly tried to approach the piano, and Shin Kyung-hwa smiled and approached Chae-yoon with a so-called ‘doldori’.
After wiping off the hairs on Chaeyoon’s body with a dolly.
“It is now. Shall we do it?”
At Shinhwa’s words, Chaeyoon nodded.
“What kind of song do you want to do?”
“… I don’t know.”
“Then, would you like to choose one of the songs that the teacher practiced?”
At Shinhwa’s words, Chaeyoon nodded once more.
As if waiting for the child’s reaction, Shinhwa went to one side of the living room and pulled out the sheet music.
“Let’s pick a song we like and play it here. Chaeyoon can do whatever she wants. While I play the piano, the teacher will be listening with my dad.”
“yes!”
When I hand over the sheet music, Chae-yoon’s face brightens.
Being given a choice to choose a song is like asking a child what to play with.
Shin Kyung-hwa stood still next to Chae-yoon, just quiet while the child looked at the sheet music.
Jo Sung-hyun sat on the sofa and watched the situation.
After looking at the sheet music for a while, Chae-yoon placed her hand on the keyboard to see if she found a song she liked.
The child patted the piano a few times before taking a position.
Shin Kyung-hwa felt Chae-yoon’s breathing change and smiled.
Instinctively, it feels like you already know how to play the piano.
No, to be precise… .
‘I have to say that I seem to know how to make the intended sound.’
With that thought in mind, Neunghwa stepped back cautiously and sat down on the sofa.
different, different, different.
The song Chae-yoon chose was upbeat.
Anyone who sees it looks crazy.
The child’s performance seemed to depict a ballerina dancing on a frozen river.
The body is soft and light.
fun at the same time
In a way, the ice that faced my feet was so cold that I felt like I was taking my feet off them quickly.
“How amazing.”
Nervous murmured quietly.
Seong-hyeon Jo realized that was what he had said to him, and turned his head to look at her.
“Are you Chae-yoon?”
“Chae-yoon plays the piano. It’s hard to predict. Sometimes altruistic, sometimes selfish.”
“is that so?”
“Sometimes he reveals only himself, and sometimes he completely excludes himself… What they have in common is that they are both free. If I had just gone to a regular academy, I would never have felt like this. It must have lost its greatest strength.”
Because general academies emphasize textbook performance rather than freedom.
Of course, it wasn’t that textbook performances were bad.
That’s the basics, and it’s the right thing to do.
It just didn’t fit with Chae-yoon.
“It’s difficult. That’s the basics.”
Jo Sung-hyun said so and looked at Chae-yoon.
Neunghwa just nodded his head.
Chaeyun played the piano alone for a long time.
Shin Kyung-hwa did not point out or specifically point out Chae-yoon’s performance.
She made minor mistakes along the way, but she didn’t say a word even though she knew all of them.
“Good job, our Chaeyoon.”
“Hehe… .”
“But, from the teacher’s point of view, I think it would be okay for Chaeyoon to be a little more greedy… What do you think of Chae-yoon?”
“It’s greed… ?”
At the sudden word, Chaeyoon couldn’t hide her puzzlement.
The child blinked and looked at the nervous system.
“yes. greed. Basically, greedy people are good at music.”
With a confused face, Chae-yoon looks at Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Sung-hyun realized what Shin-hwa had said.
Chae-yoon was somewhat satisfied with her performance.
There, I’ve been playing altruistically lately.
Not just playing for yourself, but playing for others.
We wrote songs for Seo Ye-na and worked on Yumi’s album together.
Shin Kyung-hwa was telling Chae-yoon to be greedy.
At this point… This was perhaps the most important advice.
‘But, do you want to be greedy?’
However, Cho Sung-hyun did not readily agree with that advice.
It’s just a difference in perspective, but… Does Chae-yoon have to be greedy?
Cho Sung-hyun didn’t want to raise his child to be a pianist.
If he had, he would have taken the initiative and tried to somehow get the child to have a good teacher.
But Cho Sung-hyun didn’t do that.
Even Chaeyoon didn’t cling to the piano.
So far, Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon have always treated music with a relaxed mind.
Of course, I have a strong sense of responsibility when working on album production, but at least I did it comfortably while playing.
The time when Chaeyoon concentrated on the piano the most was when her child was attending a contest.
it’s not about being greedy
It’s just that it’s spontaneously greedy.
When Chaeyun saw other children playing, she naturally wanted to do better herself, and of course that thought led to practice.
The result turned out to be the top prize.
Should your child struggle to be greedy? I thought so.
Chaeyoon wants to do it if she wants to, and not to do it when she doesn’t want to.
In life, I can’t just do what I want to do, but… .
At least, I hope it is like the music that the child likes the most.
That was Jo Sung-hyun’s wish.
So he couldn’t agree with Neunghwa’s advice.
However, he was also clearly aware that Chaeyoon needed advice.
Jo Sung-hyun did not deny or affirm, just smiled.
Chae-yoon nodded her head with a subtle face.
“yes… .”
The child answered in an unsure voice.
Neuralization did not care for the child.
Jo Sung-hyeon and Chae-yoon stayed together at Shin Kyung-hwa’s house for a while before coming out.
way home.
Chae-yoon had a troubled face.
It looks like he’s contemplating the words of Neunghwa.
Jo Sung-hyun did not say anything to the child.
So that Chae-yoon could make her own decisions, Jo Seong-hyeon was going to watch over time.
Although he was still young, Chaeyoon had deep thoughts.
Especially if it’s related to music.
Jo Sung-hyun just took Chae-yoon’s hand and walked together.
Being quietly by your child’s side.
That will be enough.
Cho Sung-hyun thought so.
Chaeyoon was quiet all the way home.
In the same way, Jo Seong-hyun walks quietly.
wow.
His smartphone rang briefly.
-Jungwon’s hyung: Link
-Jungwon hyung: See this and call me.
After checking the text message, Jo Sung-hyun clicked on the link sent by Park Joong-won with a puzzled look.
A news page comes to mind.
And Jo Seong-hyeon erased his expression when he saw the headlines of the news.
With an expressionless face, Jo Sung-hyun looked at the article.
