“Dad.”
“Yes, Chae Yoon-ah.”
“What are you going to have for dinner tonight?”
the child asks
Jo Sung-hyun did not move, but looked at Chae-yoon.
The child just used respectful words.
Chae-yoon usually used respectful words to others, but she was comfortable with Jo Seong-hyeon.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m speaking out of politeness, but it’s definitely different when talking to other people and talking to Jo Seong-hyeon.
When a child used respect for Jo Seong-hyeon, it was usually when he wanted something or asked for something.
“why? What do you want to eat?”
When I asked about the dinner menu, I used respectful words, so I wondered if there was something I wanted to eat separately.
So I asked, and the child shook his head.
“I don’t really want to eat anything… ”
Because the child was blurry, Jo Sung-hyun looked at Chae-yoon with a slightly puzzled look.
It’s clear that I have something to ask you, but what if it’s not something to eat?
“Or is there anything else you want to do?”
“yes!”
“What?”
“I want to go to a department store.”
Chae-yoon said while holding Seong-hyun’s hand and her own.
Jo Sung-hyun burst into laughter at the dazzling eyes looking at him.
“Last time I went to the department store to buy clothes, isn’t it enough?”
“yes!”
Chaeyoung quickly nodded her head.
Jo Sung-hyun had to think about it for a while.
Of course, he did not waste the money he spent for Chae-yoon, nor did he intend to save it.
However, I had no intention of wasting it by spending a lot of money.
Of course, the money spent for the child would not be a waste, but it was not long ago that I bought Chaeyoon’s clothes.
If you just want to go shopping without any special need, Jo Sung-hyun felt that you need to think a little bit.
I don’t want to make Chae-yun feel lacking, but I also don’t want to make her think that she can get everything she wants.
Since you are still in elementary school, of course, you do not want to be perfect in terms of economics and other concepts.
but.
‘I should tell you in advance, even for later… ‘
What should I do?
Jo Sung-hyun pondered for a while, and finally opened his mouth.
This is because I decided that this was not a question that could be answered by thinking about it on my own.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes.”
“Do you just want to go to the department store and play? Or do you want to buy clothes?”
In response to Jo Sung-hyun’s question, Chae-yoon opened her mouth without any hesitation.
“I want to buy clothes.”
“What clothes? Do you want to just go and look around and buy pretty clothes?”
Jo Sung-hyun asked.
Then Chae-yoon tilts her head.
Usually, Jo Sung-hyun doesn’t ask questions like this.
Chae-yoon is… ‘ I shouted and answered.
“I talked to Hyun-seo… .”
“yes.”
“I have the clothes I wore to the kindergarten graduation ceremony, but I’m still going to play with the Seoul Orchestra. It would be nice to go on stage with Daddy and me in nice clothes.”
Hearing the child’s words, Jo Seong-hyeon could immediately understand why Chae-yoon wanted to go to the department store.
For that reason, you are always welcome.
I’m not talking about going shopping for clothes just because it makes me feel good.
It was because I asked him to go shopping in a situation where there was a clear need and there were clear standards.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and stroked Chae-yoon’s hair.
“Okay, okay then. Let’s go to the department store with Dad and choose clothes.”
“yes!”
The child nodded as if excitedly.
* * *
On the way to the department store, Jo Seong-hyeon called Jin Hyun-soo.
The reason wasn’t great.
If there is a standard for what you wear on stage, you have to buy clothes according to it.
– Yes, how are you?
“hello. conductor. This is Seong-Hyun Jo.”
– Yes, Mr. Seonghyeon. I was going to contact you anyway, but you contacted me first.
“ah… .”
-I was going to contact you because of the song. How did you contact Seong-hyeon?
Hyunsoo Jin asks.
Jo Seong-hyeon could see that the song to be played was finally decided by Jin Hyun-soo’s words.
I wanted to ask what song was decided, but he struggled to get past that question and was able to answer Jin Hyun-soo’s question.
“Ah, I came here to buy clothes to wear on stage with Chaeyoon, I was wondering if there was any standard.”
– There are no big standards… Neat clothes are usually fine. They usually come in suits or tailcoats. It’s good unless it’s just too comfortable, like a hoodie.
“Aha, I see.”
Jo Sung-hyun nodded in response.
There seems to be no set standard.
Then I thought it would be easy to choose.
After arriving at the department store, Jo Seong-hyeon was excited and continued the call while holding Chae-yoon’s hand, who was looking around eagerly.
It felt like if I didn’t hold it like this, it would suddenly pop out at some point.
-Oh, but you can’t come wearing a gold suit or anything like that.
“haha. Sure.”
Jo Sung-hyun answered with a smile.
And to him, Hyunsoo Jin continued.
-and… The song has been decided.
“Ah yes. What song did you decide on?”
– No matter what you think… I think the song that Chaeyoony composed would be the best. I’m going to go ahead with that song. I would appreciate it if you could deliver the sheet music when you have time.
“… Is it a song composed by Chaeyoon?”
Jo Sung-hyun asked.
To be honest, I expected to some extent that it might be the case.
Because Chae Yoon-i’s song was very complete, and it was basically a song that suited Chae Yoon-yi and Jo Seong-hyun very well.
Last time, when Chae Yoon-i and Jo Seong-hyun performed a song, Jin Hyun-soo’s eyes were unusual.
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa did not bring up the story of the Seoul Orchestra after seeing Jo Sung-hyun playing a song composed by Chae Yun-i with her child.
So, to some extent, I was expecting it to happen…
When I asked him to really play Chaeyoon’s song, the feeling was strange.
He lowered his head and looked at Chaeyoung.
The child was looking at Jo Sung-hyun with curious eyes.
Only then did Jo Seong-hyeon realize that he had stopped for a moment and started walking again.
-It’s such a good song, well. First of all, I can’t remember the scene where Chae-yoon and Seong-hyun play different songs on stage.
Hearing Jin Hyun-soo’s voice, Jo Sung-hyun glanced at Chae-yoon once more and opened his mouth.
“Thank you again for this great opportunity. I will send you the sheet music as soon as possible.”
-good. Then, we’ll see you when you send us the sheet music.
“yes. thank you.”
Jo Sung-hyun ended the call like that.

After school, I stopped by my house for a while and then went to a department store, so I went out for a bit.
Thanks to that, I had to settle for a meal first before shopping.
We decided to eat at a place that sells tofu sushi, and there were so many different types of tofu sushi.
“What should I eat?”
Sitting at a small table for two, Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon looked at the menu and thought hard.
“There are so many things that look delicious… .”
Chae-yoon mumbles as if taking a small sigh.
At the child’s words, Seong-hyeon Jo unconsciously nodded and agreed.
Really, there are so many things that look delicious.
It was only tofu sushi, but it was embarrassing enough to even use the word ‘only’.
The size of the tofu sushi and the ingredients are the same.
Shrimp, scallop, crab, beef, pork, chicken… There are dozens of types.
“Once the shrimp… Let’s make beef one at a time. Anything else?”
I decided to try the shrimp tofu and beef tofu, which are marked with a star as recommended by the chef, and Jo Seong-hyeon looked at Chae-yoon.
The child frowned and moved his fingers.
“Crab Meat Married?”
“yes. I want to try it once.”
“Okay, then let’s order three tofu sushi like this. Among the skewers, is there anything you want to eat?”
The restaurant not only sells tofu sushi, but also various kinds of skewers.
It wasn’t that big, probably because it was used with tofu sushi, but there were also a lot of variety.
“Chicken skewers and shrimp skewers. I want to eat like this.”
“Dad wanted to try the temple skewers, too, and it worked.”
Jo Sung-hyun smiled at Chae-yoon’s words, and placed an order.
Food came out quickly.
It didn’t take long to make the tofu sushi, so within 5 minutes of placing the order, the menu was prepared quickly.
Chae-yoon gulped and swallowed.
Until recently, I was excited to buy a suit and dress, and I was on a tour of the department store right away, but now I just can’t get my head around the food in front of me.
Jo Seong-hyeon looked at Chae-yoon like that and smiled, then carefully cut the tofu sushi.
It would have been nice to be able to just hold it and eat it, but it wasn’t the right size for Chaeyoon to hold and eat.
After placing the carefully cut tofu sushi in front of Chae-yoon so as not to burst, Jo Sung-hyeon also started eating.
“Dad. This is very tasty.”

Meanwhile, Chae-yoon ate a bite of shrimp tofu and opened her eyes.
As if to try it quickly, Chae-yoon points to the shrimp tofu with chopsticks.
Jo Sung-hyun continued to eat happily with the child.
The food was definitely delicious, and Chae-yoon wanted to go shopping quickly.
Or maybe it’s just because the food is delicious, I don’t know, but I ate faster than usual.
Before long, the plate was emptied, and the boy patted his stomach with a proud face.
“I ate it all.”
With a satisfied expression, Chae-yoon said.
“Did it taste good?”
“yes. Totally good. Come back later.”
Chae-yoon replied with a strong nod of her head.
Jo Seong-hyeon lightly tapped and touched the child’s stomach and got up from his seat.
“Shall we go shopping now?”
“yes!”
As if the child had been waiting, he quickly got up and answered.
A happy smile hung on the corner of Chae-yoon’s lips.
Shopping began in earnest.
Thirty minutes pass, an hour passes, and two hours pass.
Even though it seems that all the tofu sushi I ate earlier has been digested, Chaeyoon’s favorite clothes did not appear.
The child looked at the clothes with a serious face and was troubled over and over again, and Jo Seong-hyeon looked around the clothes next to Chae-yoon with a similar face.
Somehow, I don’t have a favorite outfit.
In such a case, Jo Seong-hyeon couldn’t make a decision because he had no experience or what to do.
And then.
woo woo.
Jo Sung-hyun’s smartphone rang.
He saw the name on the screen and immediately answered the call.
“Yes, Professor.”
-Sunghyun, what are you doing?
“Oh, I came to the department store with Chae-yoon.”
I answered that way, but there was no answer for a while from the other side.
Jo Sung-hyun blinked his eyes.
“professor?”
– I’m just asking, just in case.
“yes. Please speak.”
– You didn’t go to the department store to get clothes to wear on stage, did you?
Professor Shin Hwa asked.
Really, it was a way of asking just in case.
Jo Sung-hyun’s hand trembled and stopped.
