“Son. Are you here?”
“Jaegu. Are you here?”
Their faces were brighter than when they were in America. No matter what you do, you seem to like Korea.
“I’m home.”
“Now that Jaegu is here, shall this father try to show off his skills today?”
Father raised his arm.
“Hoho. I’ll have to ask you for the turntable for this New Year’s Day.”
“Leave it alone.”
As soon as I moved it slightly, I immediately thought that my father, smiling with a smile, was cute.
‘I have to grow old like that.’
I wanted to become a man loved by my family.
“Is it New Year’s Day soon?”
“Yes. This Saturday is New Year’s Day.”
The years went by so fast.
I didn’t care because New Year’s Day changes every year because it’s on the lunar calendar, but it was right in front of me before I knew it.
“Isn’t New Year’s Day the day you get New Year’s Eve?”
this guy Did you suddenly use honorific words to get a lot of money?
Ha-yeon laughed.
‘It’s cute, so let’s look at it.’
I have a lot of money, so I’ll give you a lot of money.
I was worried about how much to give so I wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. Even if you spend too much, it can be a hindrance when you grow up and date later.
‘Someone else is taking my daughter, Ha-yeon?’

Just thinking about it made me angry.
I guess this is the mind of an adult.
‘I have to practice controlling my mind in advance.’
For a moment, William Carver’s face passed by.
I remembered the promise I made when I was in America.
“Do you want to visit the nursery school after New Year’s Eve?”
“Really? Really?”
Ha-yeon screamed in excitement. It was also exciting to meet friends at that age.
“Sure. Ha-yeon can buy gifts for her friends with her new year’s money.”
“With my new year’s money?”
The child narrowed his brows and made a serious expression. Her expression was so cute that I pinched her cheek.
“ouch!”
Ha-yeon screamed and pulled herself out, looking at me with eyes full of resentment.
“Sorry sorry. It’s too cute.”
“really?”
“Uh. Really.”
“Hee hee. It still hurts.”
“Sorry. Shall I scrub you?”
The child rubbed his cheek and shook his head.
“No. It’s fine.”

After thinking about it, I thought it would be better to spend the holidays with my family, so I decided to visit the nursery school. On New Year’s Day, I planned to visit my grandfather leisurely.
‘I’m sure the grandfather will like it if I bring the money to the kids.’
I thought about it when the skill of donation angel came out. One of the reasons for making such a large amount of money is to help people in need.
In fact, the more you donated, the better the reward was.
I brought Hayeon to the bakery.
“This and this and this and this…”
Ha-yeon diligently chose snacks and bread. It seemed to be the best thing to eat for young children too.
I also pulled out a stiff new card and put it in an envelope.
I wanted to include more, but since the nursery school teachers are also in the position, I put in an appropriate amount.
‘Teachers will have a hard time if I take care of them too much.’
Ha-yeon wandered around for a while, choosing bread, and suddenly stopped.
“Dad, can’t you give me some pocket money now?”
“why?”
I’m going to pay the bill anyway, but suddenly asking for pocket money.
“Just.”
Hayeon shook her head and looked at her.
‘I’m not a kid who usually asks for pocket money.’
“What are you going to do?”
“secret.”
Ha-yeon blushed slightly and smiled shyly. The child clung to the shelf as if trying to cover something with her body.
‘chocolate? Is there a child at the nursery school you like?’
Come to think of it, it was Valentine’s Day.
‘I don’t know who he is, but he’s a guy with a lot of hallmarks.’
I never thought I would envy a little boy whose name and face I don’t know.
“How much money do you need?”
“mmm. Dad over there! Bird!”
If you’re going to lie, do it right. It was an obvious lie, but I decided to cheat.
“where?”
I pretended to turn my head and turned around to see Ha-yeon looking at the price of a chocolate gift set. It was 34,800 won.
‘It’s expensive for chocolate.’
“Are there any birds?”
He was staring at me so intently that when I said a word, Ha-yeon was startled and stopped the price tag.
“Ah. Looks like he ran away.”
It was so cute that I couldn’t even make eye contact. I just laughed when I saw the awkward lies while watching people who are used to lies.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Just. How much money do you need?”
“70,000 won.”
“ruler.”
He took out two 50,000 won bills and handed them to the child. Ha-yeon’s eyes lit up and she bowed her belly button.
“Thank you!”
“Buy something delicious and eat it.”
As I stood waiting to choose the chocolate, the child pushed my leg.
“Dad, go get some bread.”
“why?”
“Just. Quickly.”
I already bought a bundle, but if you want to go, you should go.
I am at a difficult age to be ashamed to give a present to a child I like.
I covered the corner of my mouth that was creeping up and snooped around the cake corner. Ha-yeon bought two chocolates and wrapped them. After making sure the child put it in a paper bag, he looked around.
“Now go.”
“it’s over?”
“huh.”
“Then I’ll ask you to wrap it.”
He packed up as many loaves of bread as heaps and loaded them into the car. Ha-yeon secretly put the paper bag in the trunk. They say it secretly, but I saw it all.
‘Who are you trying to give it to? Is it the tall guy who came last time?’
He is a very blessed man.
Thanks to the large donation last time, the building of the Hanmaeum Nursery School I saw in a long time was shiny. In the yard, artificial turf was laid instead of sand, so at first glance it seemed like a new place.
Ha-yeon asked me several times if it was the same.
“Dad. I don’t think he’s here.”
“Here it is.”
When I called the director, she jumped out with tabi.
“No. President Kim. You should have contacted me beforehand. Oh my. Ha Yeon-ah, it’s been a while. You’ve become a lot prettier.”
“Director. Hello.”
The child greeted politely.
“It’s going to be cold. Come inside. The newly built building is well heated.”
Entering the newly built building, as she said, there was a warm aura. Korea was also the country of ondol.
“I’m here to bring you presents and money. I think it would be nice to gather together and eat. Can you bring the kids to the auditorium?”
“No. Mr. Kim. You don’t have to.”
“Ha-yeon wants to give it to you.”
“Okay. I’ll call the kids.”
While the teachers gathered the children in the auditorium, the bread that was loaded in the car was moved to the auditorium. I brought milk along with it, and it was quite bulky.
The bodyguards were happy to help move things.
A simple table was spread out in the auditorium and bread and milk were placed. Soon after, the children who came in screamed when they found the bread.
“Wow! It’s bread!”
“Wow! It looks delicious.”
The children came running in a hurry when they found Ha-yeon and stopped.
“Wow! It’s Hayeon!”
“Ha Yeon-ah!”
Starting with someone’s words, several children ran to Ha-yeon’s side. Thanks to the generous budget, the clothes are cleaner and the children look healthier.
“Guys!”
“Ha Yeon-ah. You have become very pretty.”
“You’re cool too.”
Did that tall guy steal my daughter’s heart?
As I watched quietly, he flinched and averted his gaze.
‘I will have to study hard to marry Ha-yeon.’
Because my daughter decided to give it to a sincere guy.
The principal came over.
“Boss. I’ve gathered all the kids.”
The children sat at the table and wriggled. I wanted to eat it, but I showed signs of holding back.
“Ha Yeon-ah. I should tell my friends to eat some bread.”
Ha-yeon nodded her head bravely.
“Guys, this is where my dad lives. Eat deliciously!”
“Wow! Ha-yeon is the best dad.”
Why do you insist on saying that you are a father when you can just say that you live? But I like that honesty even more.
The children moved their mouths and began to eat the bread and milk as if they were hiding their eyes.
The director shouted loudly.
“Guys. Say thank you and eat.”
“Thank you, Ha-yeon’s father.”
“Say thank you to Hayeon.”
“Thank you. Ha Yeon-ah.”
Ha-yeon smiled shyly at the children’s greetings.
After the snack time, we handed out pocket money. The children lined up to receive the envelopes.
“Happy New Year.”
“thank you.”
“Happy New Year to you too.”
One by one, they gave thanks and handed out envelopes. Finally the tall guy came in front of me.
When I glanced at Ha-yeon, I saw that she was playing with other children.
He lowered his voice and asked the child.
“You seemed like you and Hayeon were close.”
“yes.”
“Do you like Hayeon?”
I mean it will come out like this
When asked if he likes Ha-yeon, the child answered with a bright smile.
“yes I like it.”
It was a bright, selfless smile.
‘What kind of kid are you jealous of?’
I felt sorry for myself.
He placed the envelope in the child’s hand.
“Happy New Year.”
“Thank you, Ha-yeon’s father.”
Even in a difficult environment, the children are brightly grown children, so it would be enough to just look at them prettily. The child who received the envelope ran to Ha-yeon.
“Ha Yeon-ah. Your father gave you pocket money.”
“Is my dad the best?”
“It’s great.”
‘okay. Kids are kids.’
