Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon came out after spending a little more time in the studio.
Chae-yoon was excited to hear that it was a studio that she could use at any time, so she tapped the keyboard hard and radiated happy emotions.
Seeing this, Jo Sung-hyun couldn’t stay still.
Soo-hyun Lee had a strange expression on her face when she saw them working together.
“Is that so much fun?”
Leaving the studio, Lee Soo-hyun asks.
At the mother’s question, Jo Sung-hyun turned his head and looked at her.
Lee Soo-hyun’s eyes were serious, and Seong-hyeon finally nodded.
“The music was really, really good. I like Chae-yoon a lot too.”
To be honest, Jo Sung-hyun liked music.
Chaeyoon also likes music, so I was very happy to be able to work with her.
Lee Soo-hyun exclaims and sheds a voice.
“You seem to be having fun. I do not know. Chaeyoung is so… It can be difficult if you are just immersed in music.”
She glanced back at Chae-yoon and said.
Jo Sung-hyun could immediately recognize what part of her was worried about and said that.
Of course it’s worth worrying about.
Because Lee Soo-hyun was someone who saw what happened to Jo Seong-hyun when he fell in love with music and my job.
Fortunately, this life was able to quickly wake up from the experiences of the previous life, but the last life was the worst.
Jo Sung-hyun was absorbed in work and turned away from Chae-yoon.
It’s probably not that much, but it’s probably natural for Chaeyun to feel a bit afraid that she might fall into music and turn away from the world.
Jo Sung-hyun scratched his cheek and opened his mouth.
“It won’t be.”
The child’s talent is outstanding.
He is talented enough to make Lee Soo-hyun’s worries happen.
I didn’t hear that genius musicians of the past were crazy for nothing.
Obviously, Chaeyoon also has such a musical talent.
However, Chae-yoon, whom Jo Seong-hyeon had seen so far, was not a child who would turn away from the world because he fell in love with music.
Rather the opposite.
He was a child who looked at the world through music and grew his own music through the world.
Does such a child turn away from the world? That said, at the same time, it also meant that he turned away from his own music.
‘Never, that’s never going to happen.’
Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself.
Chaeyoung will be fine.
You will see the world in your own way and express it through music.
Jo Sung-hyun reached out to Chae-yoon.
The child takes Jo Sung-hyun’s hand and walks together.
For ever, they will be together.

After leaving the studio, the next place I went was the ossuary.
“Would you like to go?”
“let’s go together.”
Lee Soo-hyun said that he would wait in the car, but Jo Seong-hyun shook his head and suggested that we go together.
In the end, Soo-hyun Lee and the three got out of the car and slowly climbed the stairs.
Of course, Chae-yoon knew where this place was, and the child’s expression darkened a little.
However, the child did not cry.
“Hello, Mom.”
Chaeyoung smiles and waves her hand.
The child was able to hold back her tears while looking at her mother.
Jo Sung-hyun looked at his wife quietly.
thinking more
I have a lot to say, but I don’t know what to say first.
He just stood there for a long while, staring at the child’s mother.
Chae-yoon is talking quietly next to him.
“Dad and I were fine. Did your father make an album for Yumi unnie this time? I helped a lot.”
Chaeyoon said with a proud face.
Jo Sung-hyun laughed at the child’s words.
“That’s right, Chae-yoon helped Dad a lot.”
he nodded and said
Chae-yoon continued to talk about whether she seemed to be proud of everything she had done so far.
“Oh, and I also got an award. uh… I was with Hanyul oppa, but Hanyul oppa did better.”
Listening to what the child was saying, Jo Sung-hyun placed his hand on Chae-yoon’s head.
Chae-yoon’s voice speaks as if to come quickly and praise him.
Jo Sung-hyun exhaled.
Chae-yoon kept her mouth shut, probably tired of talking to her mother for a long time.
“Chae Yoon-ah, would you like to go buy a drink with your grandmother?”
“… yes.”
After thinking for a while, Chae-yoon gives an answer with a small nod of her head.
Lee Soo-hyun smiled and reached out to Chae-yoon.
Jo Sung-hyun nodded his head slightly and thanked his mother.
Lee Soo-hyun smiles lightly and walks away with Chae-yoon.
Jo Seong-hyeon was left alone with his wife.
Only then did he open his mouth to be honest.
“Sorry. I’ve been working hard, but I’m still feeling sorry for it.”
When I came back, I said that I would do my best to be with Chaeyoon.
Still, there were many things that were lacking.
I’m sorry that I couldn’t make the child happier.
I don’t have many memories with my wife.
To be precise, the memories the two of us have… relatively few.
I had a child a little early, and thanks to that, most of my memories were with Chaeyoon.

Maybe that’s why his wife asked Chae-yoon from her until the very end.
Jo Seong-hyeon let out a sigh and exhaled.
Hot breaths burst out and scatter in the air.
“In my last life… i was really so stupid Life is so sad… It must have been that Chaeyoon sent me back to live again and protect me.”
Jo Seong-hyeon, who had said that far, shut his mouth and swallowed the emotion that was about to burst out.
No matter how hard you work, the regrets will still be there.
Still, if I could make Chaeyoon a little happier by living a little harder… .
“I will work harder. I will do better.”
Then, in this life, when I close my eyes, wouldn’t the regrets fade a little?
Even as much as a tickle, he closes his eyes… Wouldn’t it make me feel a little less sorry when I go to see my wife?
He didn’t even try to keep his promise, he didn’t say he was sorry.
I tried hard to keep my promise… It could be said that it was a little lacking.
Jo Sung-hyun continued speaking with that thought.
“Our Chaeyoon graduated from kindergarten. At the graduation ceremony, I played the piano alone and performed on stage.”
He laughed.
Chae-yoon didn’t even show tears in front of her mother, can’t you see Jo Seong-hyeon?
Jo Sung-hyeon, who shed a light laugh, continued the conversation.
“Did Chae-yoon tell you before? I went to the contest and won the top prize. and… I also wrote a song about you. Even now, sometimes we play together.”
As I said that, I heard Chaeyoon’s laughter from afar.
Jo Seong-hyeon reached forward and gently stroked his wife’s name with his fingertips.
cold.
“Don’t worry too much. We are living well.”
I just want you to be comfortable.
I hope that Jo Sung-hyun will put aside his worries about himself and Chae-yoon, and rest comfortably until he leaves.
“Is Chae-yun going to Daehan Arts Academy this time? I will protect Chaeyoon by my side so that she can do well in school.”
So that Chaeyoon can be happy even if she goes to a private art school in Korea.
Jo Sung-hyun will work hard.
You can’t be happy every moment.
There may be times when a child is hurt while at school, and there may be a fight with other children.
But at least, so that there can be at least one happy moment every day.
Cho Sung-hyun will try.
“Until Chaeyoon is all grown up, and I no longer need it. It may not be enough, but I will do my best.”
as the child is all grown up.
Until I really don’t need Cho Sung-hyun anymore.
He will live a happy life with Chae-yoon.
“Dad! I bought a caramel macchiato!”
From behind, I hear Chae-yoon’s voice.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and turned to look at the child.
As if the child wants to receive it quickly, he offers a caramel macchiato to Jo Seong-hyeon.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled softly and took the caramel macchiato in the child’s hand.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“yes?”
Chae-yoon raises her head and looks at Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Sung-hyun shrugged his shoulders once and opened his mouth.
“I know that?”
“… … ?”
“Actually, Dad didn’t like caramel macchiato, did he?”
At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Chae-yoon’s eyes widen.
A face I didn’t know at all.
Jo Sung-hyun looked at the child’s face and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
As if she did not understand, Chaeyoon tilted her head and opened her mouth.
“But Dad only eats caramel macchiato?”
“yes. Now I drink a lot of caramel macchiato. Even when I go to a cafe, I always drink only caramel macchiato. But originally, my father was a person who only drank Americano.”
He stroked Chae-yoon’s hair and spoke.
Taking a sip of the caramel macchiato in his hand, Jo Sung-hyun glanced at Chae-yoon’s mother and continued.
“But because Chaeyoon’s mom likes caramel macchiato… .”
At some point, Seong-hyeon Cho started drinking caramel macchiato.
It went on for several years, became a habit, and eventually my taste in coffee changed.
That change was carried over into this life as well.
At Seong-hyeon’s words, Chae-yoon blinked.
“Did your mom like caramel macchiato?”
“yes. I drank it every day.”
“Then I want to drink a caramel macchiato too!”
chae yoon yi says:
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and gently lifted the caramel macchiato in his hand higher so that Chae-yoon’s hand could not be reached.
It is still too early for Chaeyoon to drink coffee.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t drink coffee when I was young, but it was when caffeine was still working too much.
If you take a sip now, you may not be able to sleep all night, so don’t give it.
“later. When Chae-yoon grew up.”
“When Hanyul was older than her brother?”
“Well… If you are as old as Yerin unnie, I will allow you.”
If you are 19 or 20 years old, you can drink enough coffee.
Of course, you can drink it before that, but… If you don’t drink coffee at the age of 19, your life will be difficult.
study or whatever.
Busy days will follow.
At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Chae-yoon frowned.
Yerin Lee would be too big for her.
It was natural.
It was Lee Ye-rin, who is more than twice the age of Chae-yoon now.
The boy sighed and opened his mouth.
“It’s clear that Dad wants to eat it all by himself.”
At the words of Chae-yoon, Jo Sung-hyun had no choice but to burst into laughter.
So, Chaeyoon’s birthday started with seaweed soup and ended with meeting the mother of the child.
