“(I came all the way to this level of materials, so I can’t lose. You’ll be a member of the council soon.)”
Shirley Fisher smiled coolly, showing white teeth.
‘I’m looking forward to the general election.’
An unexpected person appeared
Preparation for the general election went smoothly.
In the gathering of singles, the candidates changed periodically thanks to diligently digging into the weak points of the Yusan coalition and attacking it.
‘There are so many people with personality problems.’
To get to the point of running for a member of the National Assembly, there were fewer people who hadn’t done anything stupid. If I decided to bite openly, I had no choice but to be bitten.
‘They say you’re an image-making expert, but you’re taking care of your appearance properly.’
Shirley Fisher began to change everything from Sungmin Han’s hairstyle to clothes, gestures and tone of voice. The strong and sharp feeling was removed and replaced with a soft and calm image.
‘Because it has to be completed before the campaign period.’
At the same time, he used the media to write articles about his past. I helped with this part.
‘I introduced the Tonghap Ilbo reporters, so this should be enough.’
Reporter Min Cheol-ho showed curiosity about Han Sung-min’s article. Although it was not an article to the extent of decorating the main page, it was very important that it was published in the reliable Tonghap Ilbo.
‘Because I just need to inform the voters separately.’
Pledges except for Disneyland pledges were open. It was because I was planning to reveal it after the opponent was completely decided.
We’ll have to wait for the results to come out, but everything was going smoothly.
“Dad! How do you like this outfit?”
“It suits you well.”
Ha-yeon had been busy picking out clothes since the morning. It was because the day of the entrance ceremony was approaching, and I had to go to school in a little while.
‘I’ve been to the preliminary call-up, but Ha-yeon must have been to school for the first time.’
The child continued to change clothes with an excited expression. Happy, too, seemed to be intoxicated by the atmosphere, opening his mouth and wagging his tail as he followed the child.
It seems like it was just yesterday that I brought Happy, but before I knew it, it had grown more than twice as big as when I first came.
“Dad. How about this?”
“It’s pretty.”
“P. My dad, grandpa, and grandma are all pretty, so it’s hard to choose.”
“They’re all pretty. You can take turns wearing them.”
“I still want to look good on the first day.”
Because first impressions are important.
It seemed that a soft impression would be better than a slightly strong impression. I thought it would be better to wear clothes that are neat and have sense rather than clothes that are too flashy and stand out.
‘As expected, the clothes Elisa gave me would be nice.’
“Dad, the third one is the best?”
“The third?”
“A suit with a black point at the waist.”
“Ah! The clothes your sister gave you?”
“uh.”
“yes.”
Ha-yeon hurriedly ran in, changed her clothes, and came out. My hair was messy because I was in a hurry. Combing the child’s hair with a comb.
“Now. Isn’t it pretty?”
“yes.”
She really looked like a little princess. He must have been popular with his friends even at school.
“Ayu. Our Hayeon is pretty. She’s a princess.”
“Grandma. Hairpin please.”
Ha-yeon held out the hairpin she had received from Elisha to her mother.
‘As expected, I don’t believe my dad.’
It was true that I didn’t know how to do hairpins properly.
‘I studied on New Tube, but… But will my mother do better?’
“Yes. Our Hayeonie. Do you want to sit here?”
The mother sat the child on the sofa and cut her hair. Her hair was tidied up with soft touches, and she became prettier.
‘Isn’t this why all the boys in my class fall for me?’
I felt empty if I didn’t come home to play with my friends. Hayeon smiled and came closer to me.
“how is it?”
“Pretty.”
“hehehe. Grandma did it.”
“Halmi is not good with her hands…”
“It’s pretty enough. But you can go with your mother and father.”
As it was Ha-yeon’s monumental entrance ceremony, her parents also wanted to participate, but the two refused, saying that it would be better not to go.
“It’s okay. Even if you go to an older person, you can’t stand out.”
“The two of you go. Let’s buy something delicious on the way back.”
My father gave Ha-yeon some pocket money.
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
Ha-yeon took the money with both hands and bowed her head. My father smiled with a benevolent smile.
“Okay. Then I’ll be back.”
“Yes. Have a good trip.”
I got into the car with Ha-yeon while being seen off by the two. Ha-yeon hugged the bag carefully.
“Are you going to meet new friends?”
“I’m nervous.”
The child took several deep breaths.
Going to a new place was exciting and nerve-wracking even as an adult. How much more nervous would it be for a child entering elementary school now?
‘Because I was too excited to sleep.’
Hayeon couldn’t sleep well because she was checking the supplies over and over again. I never stayed up all night while preparing for Han Seong-min’s general election, or working with Seol Kyung-taek and Dok-go-gap.
But the child’s work was completely mine to review, so I needed time.
“But Dad.”
“huh?”
“Is mom coming today too?”
I had no contact with Seo Eun-chae at all. And I had no intention of contacting you.
There was a high probability that he did not even know that Ha-yeon had entered the school.
“No. He won’t come.”
“I see···.”
Still, since I only have one mother, did I have to call her? But if it did, it was obvious that it would stick firmly. I tried to stroke the child’s hair, but I thought that the hairstyle would be ruined, so I held my hand.
“Mom is busy with her work.”
“Are you so busy that you can’t come to see Ha-yeon?”
“huh.”
I don’t know what he’s doing, but he must be doing something because he has money tied up in the Greenbelt area. I hope that such a woman will no longer have anything to do with the child.
“I was supposed to have Elisa come instead.”
“Are you Elisa’s sister?”
Hayeon opened her eyes wide. Elisa arrived in Korea last night. During the phone call, when it was said that Ha-yeon was having an entrance ceremony, she said she wanted to attend. So I brought it specially.
After the child fell asleep, we met for a while and had a meal.
‘I didn’t talk about it because I didn’t think it would be difficult to attend the entrance ceremony because I’m not a mother yet. I’m so depressed that I have no choice but to speak.’
“Is Elisa coming?”
Hayeon’s eyes lit up.
“Why? Do you like your sister?”
“Yeah. Dad laughs a lot when I’m with you.”
Ha-yeon laughed.
‘Did I do that?’
It was true that being with her warmed my heart. But I didn’t know that the child acted enough to notice.
“Look. You’re laughing again.”
“I know.”
What would Ha-yeon do if her father married Elisa? The words filled his throat, but he kept his mouth shut.
‘On the day of the entrance ceremony, just having a friend problem would be disturbing, so there’s no need to talk about it now.’
“Im here.”
“Good job. I’ll call you when it’s over, so come pick me up at that time.”
He shifted his gaze to Jaffrey.
“(I will move alone at school.)”
“(Call me anytime if anything happens.)”
“(All right.)”
Nothing could happen now.
It was because all the characters, including Lee Yu-san, were asking me for an alliance. Certainly, I was able to walk around the outside in peace before the time came when the enemy and the ally were separated.
‘Although I’m more used to going around with bodyguards now.’
The saying that man is an animal of adaptation is correct.
I felt empty as I walked into the school alone with Ha-yeon, leaving behind Jeffrey Smith. Normally, tall men would escort me, but now there were none.
Children carrying new bags and wearing new clothes were walking into school holding their parents’ hands. Some children came with their mothers, while others came with their parents.
Hayeon saw that and held my hand. I wrapped my big hand around the child’s hand so that the child could feel safe.
The shaking of the child’s hand stopped.
“Your dad will be watching from behind, so you can do well, right?”
“yes.”
The child shook his head. We could feel the glances of people around us glancing at us.
‘Our Ha-yeon is pretty.’
***
The entrance ceremony was shorter than expected.
‘I never thought 30 minutes would go by so quickly.’
After gathering in the auditorium and conducting the event for 30 minutes, they entered the classroom and held the entrance ceremony. Some children came through kindergarten but still cried as if it was awkward to be separated from their parents.
‘That’s a dark history.’
It was clear that it would be the subject of constant teasing.
Ha-yeon dignifiedly sat down and listened to the principal and homeroom teacher. I looked back from time to time, and every time I smiled and waved, I focused on the event with a satisfied expression.
‘Father and mother will come somehow.’
There weren’t many, but some had grandparents with them. It was a pity that my parents would have been happy if they had come.
Instead, I put my heart and soul into taking pictures so that you can see them later.
“Why did that man come alone?”
“I guess he got divorced.”
“Who’s the father?”
I heard someone whispering in my ear. Rather than being angry, I felt sorry for Ha-yeon, so my hands were sweating.
‘What if I get bullied for being a divorced family?’
Things have gone so well lately that I’ve been forgetting about it, but Korean society isn’t tolerant of imperfect families.
Besides, this is not Hannam-dong.
“I need to know who tells me not to play with my child.”
Divorce was not my sin. If he had anything to say to me, he could have listened to it sufficiently. Because Seo Eun-chae was not a proper woman in the first place.
However, if you make a big deal in front of Ha-yeon’s friends, the child could be hurt.
I heard some parents whispering about me. Fortunately, it was inaudible to the children, but I was nervous about what to say behind my back.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen the father come alone.”
Someone interjected between the whispering voices.
“When you gossip about others, take care of your own children.”
She was an elegant woman with a straight back. It didn’t show off by wearing luxury items, but there were two large men standing next to her. Judging by the earphones in his ears, he appeared to be a bodyguard.
‘It looks like someone.’
“No. Why are you eavesdropping on what others are saying?”
“Honey. Honey!”
The husband tapped the gossip woman on the shoulder.
“why?”
“I’m sorry. My wife didn’t notice.”
“Please be careful from now on. Nice to meet you.”
When she held out her hand, her husband took her hand and shook it. He frowned as if he didn’t like his wife.
“Are you bowing down to another woman?”
“What about cringing? You don’t know who this person is?”
“Who… who is it?”
“You’re the chairman of Eunseong ENT Group, Seong So-hee.”
“omg.”
The woman opened her eyes wide and bowed her head. The Eunseong ENT group was previously part of the Eunseong group, but has now been separated and ranked 47th in the business world.
With Eunsung Hotel, a 5-star hotel spread across the country, as the main business, they were reaching out to various fields such as duty-free shops, department stores, and cosmetics.
‘She’s St. John’s younger sister.’
An unexpected person appeared.
Sung So-hee shook her head.
“It’s nothing to apologize to me for.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Kim. I was talking too much.”
“Yes. Please be careful in the future.”
The woman bowed her head several times.
It’s Hannam-dong, so even if you’re a wealthy family, it’s going to be quite a headache if you get caught by the conglomerate.
Sung So-hee approached me and held out her hand.
