“How are you over there?”
Holding a shopping bag filled with Chae-yoon’s clothes.
Jo Seong-hyeon said as he glanced at the cafe inside the department store.
It was a cafe specializing in desserts, ‘Labian’.
Because summer is coming, they seem to be selling quite a lot of ice cream and shaved ice.
It wasn’t too hot inside the department store, but as I kept walking, I wanted to eat something cool.
In response to Jo Sung-hyun’s question, Chae-yoon nodded as if it didn’t matter.
Eventually they entered the cafe together.
It wasn’t a huge cafe, but it wasn’t small either.
There were several seats, and it was not a system where you order first and then sit down like in other cafes, but rather a system where you sit down and order a menu like a restaurant.
Jo Sung-hyeon and Chae-yoon were guided by the staff and sat down to look at the menu.
“What do you want to eat?”
“anything.”
“anything?”
“yes. Well… But I want to try the shaved ice and bread.”
Chaeyoon looks at the menu for a moment and says:
Cho Sung-hyeon, it doesn’t really matter if it’s cool, so I ordered a slice of bingsu and a simple snack as the child said.
The menu came out quickly.
Bingsu called ‘High Snowman’ and moon rabbit bread.
A snowman was made with vanilla ice cream on top of the shaved ice.
Seeing the snowman decorated with chocolate, Chaeyoon’s eyes twinkled.
“pretty. It looks like the snowman we built together before.”
“Would it be delicious?”
At the child’s words, Jo Sung-hyun smiled and asked, and Chae-yoon looked at Jo Sung-hyun with strange eyes.
Jo Sung-hyun blinked at Chae-yoon’s expression.
“It’s cruel.”
“… It’s bingsu.”
Jo Sung-hyun responded with a slightly bewildered voice to the child’s words.
Chaeyoon frowned slightly as if he didn’t like his answer.
Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth with a smirk on the child’s face.
“okay. I’m sorry, Dad.”
Eventually he apologized to the child.
If you think about it carefully, Chaeyoon was thinking of the snowman they made together in winter, but Jo Seonghyeon just had no choice but to eat it.
There was a crime that ruined the child’s heart.
In a way, it could be that he had to apologize to Chae-yoon for nothing, but Jo Sung-hyun didn’t feel bad or anything.
Rather, it was nice to see Chaeyun’s expressions diversifying.
Is this why I call my daughter an idiot?
With that thought in mind, Jo Sung-hyun poured condensed milk on top of the shaved ice.
While he was pouring condensed milk, the child was gazing at the moon rabbit bread.

Moon rabbit bread was literally a rabbit-shaped bread, with cream inside.
It contains chocolate cream, cream puffs, and red beans.
It’s a rabbit version of Bungeoppang.
Seeing the child quietly staring at the moon rabbit bread, Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth, wiping a drop of condensed milk spilled on the table with a wet tissue.
“Is not it cute?”
When asked that question, the child shakes his head.
This time, I wondered what was the right thing to ask, but Chaeyoon opened her mouth.
“that looks delicious.”
“… … .”
Jo Sung-hyun did not know what to say to the child’s answer, so he just looked at Chae-yoon with a puzzled expression.
What kind of emotions do you need to have in order to fully empathize and communicate with Chaeyoon?
I do not know.
From https://noblemtl.com
Musically and in many respects, it was clear that Cho Sung-hyun was the person who best communicates with children.
Nevertheless, it was true that there were parts that were not well understood at times.
From https://noblemtl.com
Maybe Yeongjun or Hanyul could understand this.
Jo Sung-hyun thought of that and laughed, haha.
At his laughter, Chae-yoon looked at him blankly, then picked up a moon rabbit bread and brought it to Jo Sung-hyun’s lips.
Jo Sung-hyun put the moon rabbit bread in his mouth and smiled at the child.
Chaeyoon also smiles and eats a bite of moon rabbit bread.
It wasn’t a big deal to eat dessert, but Jo Seong-hyeon enjoyed it a bit leisurely.
Thanks to this, I was able to sit for a longer time than usual.
Recovered some stamina.
“it was yummy.”
Chae-yoon said, pounding her little belly with a happy face.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and lightly poked the child’s stomach.
Chaeyoon giggles and smiles as if it tickles.
Jo Seong-hyeon, who stroked the child’s head, hardened a little at Chae-yoon’s words.
“Now let’s go shopping again!”
Chaeyoung smiled and said.
Jo Sung-hyun nodded awkwardly.
* * *
The shopping continued after that, and in the end, Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon returned home after working through the evening at the department store.
Chae-yoon was also tired, and had a tired face.
“it’s tough. Is not it?”
“yes. Shopping is difficult.”
Chae-yoon nodded in agreement.
Jo Sung-hyun sighed a little and went into the bathroom with the child to wash.
Because I thought it would be refreshing to wash it first before doing anything.
After taking a shower, I changed into my pajamas and went out to the living room, but Chaeyoon was not in my pajamas.
“… You must have liked the clothes.”
“yes. You’re pretty.”
The boy was wearing the clothes he bought today and was looking intently in the mirror in his room.
There were a total of six clothes Chaeyun bought today, of which four are tops and two are bottoms.
Chaeyoon took out the clothes from the closet and matched them with the clothes she bought today, and changed her clothes diligently.
Seeing Chae Yoon trying different combinations over and over again, Jo Sung Hyun lightly shook his head.
You looked tired until before, but after taking a shower, you are doing a fashion show with a vivid image again.
Jo Seong-hyeon was tired now and wanted to go to bed early today, but looking at Chae-yoon, it seems that he is wrong.
It is said that a house with a son is physically much more difficult than a house with a daughter, but I don’t know how on earth they can survive.
Jo Sung-hyun had to watch the children’s fashion show for a long time even after shopping.
Not just looking, but taking pictures.
“Can I take a picture like this?”
“No, this is the same as usual.”
“then?”
“Your clothes should come out prettier.”
While saying that, Chae-yoon asked Jo Sung-hyun to take a few pictures.
Jo Sung-hyun took a picture as requested by the child.
“But Chae Yoon-ah, what are you going to do with the photo?”
I was a kid who didn’t usually ask to take pictures, so Jo Sung-hyun asked in a curious voice.
Then, Chaeyoon opened her mouth with a smile.
“Youngjun said he needed my picture.”
“… Is it Youngjun?”
“yes. I draw because it is much more comfortable to have pictures than to just draw with my imagination. If I could take a picture, I asked him to take a picture and send it to me. These days, when I draw, I draw while watching our me tube, but it’s convenient to have photos.”
“Oh yeah?”
For that reason, it makes sense.
It made sense to me, but at the same time, I also felt that Yeongjun had a good excuse.
Cho Sung-hyun, who made a pick and laughed, handed the smartphone to the child and continued the conversation.
“Then, Chae Yoon-ah.”
“yes?”
“Let’s send Yeongjun only the pictures his dad took.”
“… ? Either way, unless it’s my dad, he won’t take a picture of me.”
“yes. But Yeongjun just asked me to send him a photo, so I don’t want to take a selfie and send it to him.”
“okay.”
Chae-yoon tilted her head and answered.
The child probably doesn’t know that it’s from his father’s little jealousy.
Jo Sung-hyun just smiled and patted the boy’s head.
So the day passed.
* * *
While Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon spend a day.
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa was also busy with his own time.
After a long time, he came to his friend Jin Hyun-soo’s house and had dinner together.
Jin Hyeon-soo, the conductor of the Seoul Orchestra, gave Professor Shin Kyung-hwa a meal he would never normally have.
It’s possible because the two are old friends.
“I ate well.”
“It’s just an extra bowl of rice. What?”
Hyunsoo Jin waved his hand and said.
At his words, Professor Shin Kyung-hwa showed a soft smile and helped tidy up.
“I will wash the dishes.”
“done. I will do it later.”
Jin Hyun-soo said so and made coffee.
With a small hum, the coffee machine brews coffee.
holding a cup of coffee.
Jin Hyun-soo and Shin Kyung-hwa sat down.
When we ate, we just talked about everyday things, but now it’s time to get to the point.
“therefore. You still haven’t changed your mind?”
Hyunsoo Jin asks.
Shinhwa knew immediately what he was asking, and nodded.
“If you are in elementary school… It’s a little hard. I need to straighten my face.”
Hyunsoo Jin says with a small sigh.
I want to fulfill the condition Shin said, but how will people accept that the Seoul Orchestra is performing with elementary school students?
Jin Hyeon-soo, as a maestro of the Seoul Orchestra, had to pay attention to various parts.
If it was the pianist that Shinhwa recommended, of course he would have some skill, but… Anyway, I’m not in elementary school.
It was obviously not easy.
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa shrugged at Jin Hyun-soo’s words.
“Well. It’s something I’m talking about because it’s something that will set you up.”
Saying so, she rummaged through her pockets and pulled out her smartphone.
At Professor Shinhwa’s words, Hyunsoo Jin looked at her with a complicated expression.
“Will you change your mind a lot after watching the video?”
“… Okay, see you soon.”
Hyunsoo Jin said that and took his seat right away.
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa smiled and spread one finger as if to wait.
She found a video of Chae Yoon-yi and Jo Seong-hyun performing, and presented it to Jin Hyun-soo.
“Look. Oh, if I can connect it to a speaker, can I connect it and listen?”
“That’s good too.”
Jin Hyeon-soo got up from Shin Shin-hwa’s words and connected her smartphone to the speaker installed in the living room.
As his hobby and job are listening to music, he played the video after skillfully connecting it.
Jiying.
follow.
Jo Sung-hyun and Chae Yoon-i started playing.
As soon as the performance started, Hyunsoo Jin blinked and looked at the screen.
The playing continues.
Jin Hyun-soo’s expression changed every moment.
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa waited quietly with a smile so that his old friend Jin Hyun-su could concentrate on his performance.
the video is all over.
Jin Hyun-soo let out a sigh of relief.
“First… It’s the first song I’ve heard, what kind of song is it?”
“There is a kid playing the piano in the video.”
“yes. It’s Chae-yoon.”
“Uh, it’s a kid named Jo Chae-yoon, and he wrote the song.”
He said with a nervous smile.
And Hyunsoo Jin.
“… You are a genius.”
With a blank face, he spit out the words with difficulty.
At Jin Hyun-soo’s words, Shin Kyung-hwa chuckled.
“Oh, you are a genius.”
Apparently, another musician fell in love with Chaeyoon.
