“Wow… .”
Chae-yoon looked out the window and shed admiration.
Jo Sung-hyeon also showed a pleasant smile at the scenery seen through the window.
Just looking at it, a valley with a cool feeling spreads out.
Although there were a few people, it was quite quiet.
It wasn’t the holiday season yet, so it was only natural that there weren’t many people there.
Jo Seong-hyeon took a bag and got off.
From the moment he came out, he was wearing a swimsuit and only a light coat over it.
There was no need to change clothes, only a few towels and a light snack.
It’s not a very hot day, but I’m glad it’s warm enough.
If the water was very cold, I would have had to go in and out for a while, but luckily it was moderately cool.
‘That’s good.’
Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself, wiped the water from his hands and sat down.
He took off his coat first and turned to Chae-yoon.
Chae-yoon had a face that wanted to go into the water quickly.
Although he is still without being noticed, it seems inevitable that his gaze is constantly directed toward the water.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“Don’t go in too quickly, let’s go in with Dad.”
“yes.”
To Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Chae-yoon answers.
Seong-hyeon Jo, who had gathered her luggage, took the child and carefully headed towards the water.
Seeing that Chaeyoon was playing with children her age, the depth and count of the water seemed okay.
Jo Sung-hyun’s legs are locked, and Chae-yoon’s ankles are also included.
“It’s cool.”
Chae-yoon seemed to be in a good mood, and moved her legs.
Jo Seong-hyeon made sure that the deepest part came to about his waist, and carefully lowered Chae-yoon.
Chae-yoon trembled for a moment, then slowly began to move.
Jo Sung-hyun followed the child, waiting for Chae-yoon to adjust to the water.
Yesterday, the water in the bath was warm and it was just stagnant water.
The water is cool too.
There were stones, and in many ways, the environment was different from the bath, so more attention was required.
If you stumble and fall and get hurt, how painful would it be?
The child moved slowly away from the crowds, then stopped with a gasp.
“Daddy daddy.”
Chae Yoon-i urgently calls Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Sung-hyeon took a step forward and stood side by side with Chae-yoon.
“why?”
“Look over there.”
Chae-yoon raised her hand and pointed in front of her.
The child’s voice was full of surprise and excitement.
Jo Seong-hyeon moved his gaze to the direction Chae-yoon was pointing, and he was able to spot several small fish.
“Are you a fish?”
“so cute.”
“I know.”
Jo Sung-hyun answers
Chae-yoon opened her eyes and watched the fish quietly.
They were small fish, only about the size of a finger, and it looks really strange.
Chaeyoon’s eyes, which had grown big, did not get smaller.
In the end, Jo Sung-hyun laughed and put his hand on the child’s head.
With wet hands, Chaeyoon’s head also gets wet and falls down.
The child raised his head at the coolness he felt in his head and looked at Jo Sung-hyun.
“Are fish that amazing?”
“yes. I think I am very good at swimming.”
“It’s a fish. Instead, Chaeyoon walks well.”
At Jo Seong-hyeon’s words, Chae-yoon tilts her face, wondering if that’s the case.
The child moved his gaze to the fish again.
The fish roamed around one place, and did not deviate beyond a certain radius.
Seeing those fish, Chae-yoon turned into a worried face.
Jo Sung-hyun seemed to know what the child was worried about, so he held back his laughter and opened his mouth to Chae-yoon.
“Chae Yoon-ah, why are you like this?”
“… I have to go forward, but I think the fish will get hurt if I go.”
There are fish in the direction Chaeyoon was going, so she doesn’t seem to know what to do.
As expected, Jo Sung-hyun burst into laughter.
“It will be fine. Would the fish know that Chaeyoon would avoid it?”
“… really?”
“yes. Even Chaeyoon walks around and avoids other people.”
“… That’s right.”
Chae-yoon, who had thought deeply about Jo Sung-hyun’s words, understood whether he thought that his words were quite logical, and moved forward.
He was still moving cautiously, but when he saw that the fish were torn from side to side and did not collide with him, he then reassured and accelerated.
Play hard with your feet and move forward.
And Chae-yoon was able to arrive at the destination.
There was a large stone, and the child whimpered and climbed onto the stone.
“… Dad is bigger.”
He must have thought that he would be taller than Jo Sung-hyun if he stood on a stone.
Seeing the child with a dissatisfied face, Jo Sung-hyun smiled and hugged Chae-yoon and lifted him up.
“Is Chae-yoon bigger than her father now?”
Cho Seong-hyeon said so, but Chae-yoon still had a dissatisfied face.
This is not what the child wanted.
In the end, seeing the child’s expression, Jo Seong-hyeon gently moved his arm and pulled Chae-yoon into his arms and hugged him.
“Isn’t Chae-yoon going to grow bigger than her father in the future?”
“really?”
“Well… It will take a little while.”
Jo Sung-hyun looked at the child and said.
Later, when Cho Seong-hyeon gets old, maybe there will come a day when Chae-yoon will be bigger than him.
It will take quite some time though.
* * *
I couldn’t play long in the valley.
First of all, it was because of me.
Even when it got a little dark, the water got cold right away, so I had to get out right away in case I catch a cold.
That ‘soon’ was also after playing for two or three hours, and Chaeyoon was already exhausted.
Of course, if you’re surprised, you can play, but Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon came out of the water.
“cold?”
When asked that question, the child shakes his head.
However, seeing her lips trembling slightly, it was clear that her body temperature was dropping.
Jo Sung-hyeon lightly kissed Chae-yoon’s forehead and wiped the water off the child’s body with a towel.
I think I should go home and take a shower.
After putting the child in the car first, Jo Seong-hyeon got into the car after wiping the water off his body.
So on the way home.
Chaeyoung nodded and started to fall asleep.
Feeling tired after playing in the water is unavoidable.
Jo Sung-hyun let out a smirk.
The child did not wake up even after arriving at the dormitory.
In the end, Jo Seong-hyeon had to enter the dormitory holding Chae-yoon.
Only then does the child wake up.
“Is it your house… ?”
“yes. lodging. Sleepy?”
“little.”
Chae-yoon said in a tired voice.
Jo Seong-hyeon patted the child’s head and opened his mouth.
“If I get sleepy, should I shower first?”
“yes.”
The child nods his head.
Fortunately, Chae-yoon did not refuse to wash.
It would have been difficult if I had just said I was going to sleep.
Jo Sung-hyun finished taking a shower as soon as possible and left.
While drying the child’s hair, Chae-yoon’s eyes reflected in the mirror were dazzling.
Apparently, I’m all awake.
“Aren’t you sleeping right now?”
“yes. I’m hungry.”
After playing in the water, I feel sleepy, and after I wash up, I am hungry.
It was dinner time, so it was natural to be hungry.
In the end, Jo Sung-hyun had to prepare dinner as soon as he came out of the shower.
The menu has already been decided.
Kimchi stew.
Since the menu was not difficult, Jo Sung-hyun started cooking with a light heart.
Chae-yoon’s eyes lit up as she watches Jo Seong-hyun prepare dinner.
“Hang in there. I’ll do it right away.”
“yes.”
The child immediately responds to Jo Sung-hyun’s words.
Chae-yoon watched Jo Seong-hyeon cook, and then began to hum a song.
Again, this time, it was a continuation of the song I started making while on a trip.
The child hummed a song with a happy face, and when the kimchi stew was ready, he swallowed his saliva and sat down on the table.
I thought it would be best to eat instant rice rather than cooking it separately, so I used a microwave.
“Now, let’s eat.”
“I will enjoy this food!”
After saying that, Chae-yoon picked up the spoon.
For the child who wants to eat quickly, Jo Sung-hyun smiled and picked up a spoon and ate a spoonful of kimchi stew.
The seasoning was just right and the amount seemed to be just right for two people to eat.
“It’s hot. You have to eat carefully.”
“Dad eats well too.”
“okay.”
Chae-yoon blows the kimchi stew on her spoon and says:
Jo Sung-hyun answered with a smile at the child’s words.
There were not many side dishes to go with the kimchi stew.
Simple stew and rice.
That alone was enough.
finish eating.
Chae-yoon sat on the sofa and patted her little belly.
Jo Seong-hyeon follows the child and pats his stomach.
Chae-yoon looked at it and had a pleasant face.
The child slowly approached Seong-hyeon and tapped him on the stomach.
I looked at Chaeyoon, who was playing hard on her boat.
Seong-hyeon Cho suddenly thought of that.
If I start Me Tube, will I be able to see all of these daily life once again?
Others will be able to see Chaeyoon and herself while watching Me Tube.
But, wouldn’t Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon be able to enjoy themselves once again by looking at themselves?
later when the child is grown.
When I really grew bigger than Jo Sung-hyun.
When that time comes, maybe everything from now on will become a memory.
The thought went all the way to that point, and Jo Seong-hyeon sighed.
Chae-yoon raises her head with a puzzled face and looks at Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Sung-hyun made eye contact with the child and smiled softly.
it seems now
About me tube, it’s time to talk.
With that thought, Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“yes?”
“Last time, Hyuna unnie asked Dad.”
“Like what?”
Chaeyoung asks.
The child stopped beating Jo Sung-hyun’s stomach, and secretly climbed onto Jo Sung-hyun’s lap and made eye level with Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Seong-hyeon held Chae-yoon well so she wouldn’t fall and continued the conversation.
“Let’s try Me Tube.”
When I answered like that, the child’s eyes widened and asked the question.
“Dad?”
It seems that they misunderstood that Jo Sung-hyun told me to do me tube.
He chuckled and shook his head lightly.
I had no intention of doing Me Tube on my own.
If such an offer had come in, I would have rejected it right away.
Because Jo Sung-hyeon was not interested at all when his face became known.
However, Chaeyoung is a little different.
The child clearly had the talent and disposition as a ‘protagonist’.
“With Chae-yoon and Dad.”
he said
Chaeyoung’s face brightened.
And that meant only one thing.
