Hanmaum went to the orphanage.
When I shot pizza and chicken, the children cheered with joy. The response was very good, probably because it was a menu chosen by Hayeon herself.
“Guys. Ha-yeon chose the menu herself.”
“Wow!! Hayeon is the best!!”
Hayeon shrugged.
“Not me, but my dad is the best.”
“Ha-yeon is the best dad!”
Isn’t Hayeon usually called the father? Kids, I can’t help it.
After confirming that Ha-yeon was eating snacks with the children with a bright face, she entered the director’s office. Since I was planning to stay in the US for a year, I decided to donate a little larger amount today.
“The facilities are really nice, right? This is all thanks to the sponsorship from President Kim Jae-goo. We plan to increase the capacity by about 20 people and hire one more teacher.”
“In the meantime, how about hiring 5 more people and increasing the quota by 100 people?”
“It becomes difficult to operate when there are too many.”
The director covered his mouth with a humble expression and smiled.
“I’ll attach an expert.”
“What kind of expert do you attach?”
“I want to do better for the children who will lead the future of Korea, but it’s because the director is the only person running the facility that I can trust.”
I handed her an envelope containing a check.
“No. President. You donated a lot of money last time, and it’s really good.”
“Write to the children.”
At those words, the director’s eyes became serious.
“It’s okay to not be an expert.”
She opened the envelope and checked the amount.
“omg!”
The director closed the envelope and hurriedly handed it to me.
“I can’t get paid like this.”
“It’s not for the director, it’s for sponsoring Hanmaeum Nursery School. I hope they care for more children.”
“still···.”
“You still don’t need an expert?”
She bit her lower lip.
“You have to think about your children’s future. Shouldn’t they get a proper education because they don’t have parents?”
“You’ll need an expert.”
The director nodded with a serious expression.
“That’s right. It’s going to be difficult to run it alone. But the budget management must be done by the director.”
“Okay. We should hire 20 more teachers instead of 5.”
“I will leave the direction decision to the director.”
She clenched her fists and nodded.
“I’ll try hard once.”
Because he’s a great person just because he doesn’t wear clothes.
More than that, now I have to get what I deserve.
“Would you like a donation receipt?”
“Ah! Take care of yourself. I forgot the receipt because I was surprised at the amount. Please wait a moment.”
With trembling hands, the director wrote down the donation receipt and handed it over. Upon receiving the receipt from her, a pop-up window immediately appeared.
“uh?”
Unbeknownst to me, the words came out through upbringing.
“What are you doing?”
“No. Nothing.”

‘This is coming from here?’
I hope this moment lasts forever (final)
When I donated a large amount to the Hanmaeum Nursery School, a treasure map (large) came out. I received the treasure map (middle) from Hanmaeum Nursery School, but I received the treasure map (large) after donating to Hanmaeum Nursery School…
‘Ha-yeon is lucky.’
I don’t know if it’s a revelation from heaven telling me to treasure the relationship that Hayeon made. For some reason, it seemed that the wind had blown through the cheeks.
“Soon the kids will eat it all.”
“Kids have a good appetite, so they eat it quickly.”
“Is there a place where I can rest for a while?”
“A place to rest?”
“I want to give Ha-yeon time to play with her friends.”
I needed time to check the treasure map.
When I go to the US this time, I won’t be able to visit this place for a while, so I hoped that I would have a good time with friends I hadn’t seen in a while.
“You’re resting here. I’ll come and see if the kids are playing well.”
“Can I?”
“Isn’t it the place that Chairman Kim Jae-goo built?”
The director smiled heartily, bowed his head, and vacated the seat.
I immediately wrote down the coordinates that appeared on the pop-up window on my phone. But this time, there was something a little different than usual.
‘Mars?’
At the end of the coordinates, the letters Mars were marked.
‘If it’s Mars, isn’t it Mars?’

Just in case, I entered the coordinates of the earth and searched for an address. Fortunately, this time it was located on the land, not the sea.
‘Let’s explore the earth first.’
If it wasn’t there, I didn’t know if I would really have to go to space.

I returned to the security mansion located on Long Island with Ha-yeon. Of course, Happy was also with them.
king king!
Happy ran around the yard, probably happy to be back home after a long absence. The large yard also seemed comfortable for the dog.
“(The atmosphere has changed a lot. My wife has a very good sense.)”
For the soon-to-be-born child, objects on the floor were minimized, and furniture with sharp corners was removed. Nevertheless, it was a nice interior that didn’t feel awkward at all.
‘It’s also Elisa-san.’
It was like the wife I chose.
Today was Elisa’s last day to go to work before taking a leave of absence. I changed into the clothes Elisa had given me.
‘On a day like this, I have to go out for pickup.’
Since the faces were sold to the employees anyway, wouldn’t it be nice to make faces on a day like this? I said hello to Ha-yeon, who was playing with Happy, and headed to Elisa’s company.
I asked Fred Balman to prepare a bouquet of flowers. It was the bouquet of lisianthus that decorated Elisa and my wedding.
‘I hope you’re happy.’
Finally arrived at her workplace. It wasn’t work time yet, so I waited for her in the lobby. I wanted to surprise you.
It wasn’t until an hour after the work hours ended that Elisa showed up. Now, the protruding belly was obvious.
The look was lovely.
“(Miss Elisa.)”
“(Mr. Jaegu?)”
Elisha was surprised to see me. He gave her a bouquet of flowers and handed her a bag.
She buried her face in the bouquet and took a deep breath.
“(Ha. I really like the bouquet Mr. Jaegu gave me.)”
“(I’ll give you presents often from now on. Rather than that, if you had luggage, shouldn’t you have told me?)”
“(I thought I could do it alone.)”
“(Don’t overdo it.)”
The bag was quite heavy. It’s a leave of absence, but I had to bring personal items, including the laptop I used at work.
“(I put the car on standby.)”
“(thank you.)”
She tried to kiss me lightly on the cheek, but her belly came out and it looked uncomfortable. He lowered his head and brought his face out, and his soft lips touched his cheek.
When I returned home, Ha-yeon opened her eyes wide.
“(Elisa’s sister? I’m hungry…)”
Ha-yeon asked in fluent English. It was worthwhile to focus on educating English for studying abroad.
“It’s because Ha-yeon has a younger sister.”
“(Do you have a younger brother?)”
“Yes. It’s inside.”
“(Wow… that must be heavy.)”
“It’s not that heavy.”
Elisa smiled.
It was funny that Ha-yeon used English and Elisa spoke Korean, but we could understand their mutual consideration. We will definitely be a good family.
“(Go inside and sit down.)”
“(Maybe? I’m a little tired.)”
He took Elisa to the soft sofa. It was a sofa that fit her body as if it had been tailored.
Ha-yeon stood next to Elisha.
“(Is your brother really in it?)”
“Yes. Do you want to hear it?”
“(Yeah? Can I?)”
“of course.”
Hayeon was hesitant so I intervened.
“Now you’re Ha-yeon’s mother. We should get closer.”
“mom···.”
Ha-yeon turned her head away, perhaps embarrassed.
“Why? Hate it?”
“No. All right.”
“Then can I call you Mommy?”
Elisa put her hand on my shoulder.
“(Don’t force it. If you open your heart, you’ll call it that.)”
She was also a woman with a deeper heart than me.
As if Hayeon had made up her mind, her lips were tightly shut.
“Uh… Uhm…”
Elisha’s eyes lit up. She looked at Hayeon with a soft smile.
Hayeon closed her eyes.
“mom!”
The child cried out for its mother and was embraced by Elisa. I didn’t even think to stop it because it jumped in suddenly, but it seemed to hit pretty hard.
Elisa slightly frowned as if she was in pain.
“Ha Yeon-ah, so hard…”
“are you okay.”
Elisa hugged Ha-yeon.
“Can you feel your brother moving?”
“Your brother?”
“Now. Like this.”
With a gentle touch, she brought Hayeon’s ear close to her belly. Ha-yeon’s eyes widened.
“It makes a sound!”
“It’s Hayeon’s sister’s voice.”
“Dad! It’s my brother! Listen.”
“Dad heard a lot.”
“Dad listens alone and is petty.”
At those words, Elisha burst into laughter.
“Ha… Ha-yeon said she was afraid to come to America.”
“Still, I would have come if you had told me that you had a younger brother.”
“Yes. Daddy was wrong.”
Looks like puberty has already arrived.
“No. It’s because I’m too scared.”
Not yet?
Elisa stroked Hayeon’s hair.
“Can you call me mom again?”
“mom!”
It took a while, but it felt like we finally became a real family.
“I should eat something delicious for dinner tonight.”
“Is Jaegu doing ribs?”
“Is that so?”
“Dad’s ribs are delicious.”
I can’t help it when everyone comes out like this.
He raised his arms and tightened his chest.
“Then everyone, look forward to it.”
Shall we show off our skills once in a while?
