Episode 2

The situation has not been fully understood or understood yet.

I jumped into the Han River, and when I opened my eyes, it was 10 years ago.

And the vivid sensations that make it possible to know that this is a clear reality.

A cool breeze that signals that winter is approaching.

Park Joong-won standing in front of him.

A cigarette in his hand.

“… … .”

what the hell is this

Whew.

A cool wind blew.

‘honey… Our daughter, our daughter Chae-yoon, will take care of you.’

It sounded like a voice in the wind.

The words he left to himself before his wife died.

Is it another chance that his wife gives her because she can’t take good care of Chae-yoon?

couldn’t figure it out

It felt like something hot was about to come out of me.

“Captain Park.”

“Uh, uh.”

“I will go to work.”

“Right now? uh, what yes.”

Park Jong-won seemed a little embarrassed, but he did not stop him.

Jo Seong-hyeon put out the cigarette in his hand and turned around.

thump thump.

His pace slowed a little, and eventually he started running.

Anxiety and a sense of tension engulfed him.

“taxi!”

As soon as I left the building, I got a taxi and moved on.

Today is his wife’s anniversary, and if it’s true that he’s back in the past… I had to run to my wife’s place right away.

My heart was pounding.

It was because of the unbelievable situation, but also because of expectations.

Expectations in such a situation, it was funny even thinking about it, but it was true.

“It’s all here. Guest.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

His voice trembled.

widely.

Closing the taxi door, Seong-hyeon Jo moved on.

There was strength in his steps as he climbed the stairs.

In the distance, I see a girl.

And the moment I saw the child, the tears I had been holding back came pouring out.

“Ahh… .”

poop.

Tears pour out, and hot breath spurts out of his mouth.

It felt like my legs were losing strength.

Give me strength, I take a step towards the little girl.

The girl who had been standing still turned around, and the child immediately opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“uh?”

A small sound comes out of the child’s mouth.

Jo Seong-hyeon knelt down in front of the child.

“Our daughter… .”

His daughter, Jo Chae-yoon.

He looked much younger than the last time he saw him, but he was definitely his daughter.

Clear eyes looked at Jo Sung-hyun as if it were projected.

Soon, his eyes start to get watery.

“Dad… whoops I miss my mom. Whoa.”

In the end, Chae-yoon burst into tears.

7 years old now.

It’s only been two years since I lost my mother, so it was natural to cry.

Even more so when his father is crying.

“I’m sorry, Dad, Chae Yoon-ah. Dad… .”

Tears flowed so much that I couldn’t continue talking.

It was tears of regret and tears of relief that I was given another chance.

“Whoa. Do not cry. Dad. Chaeyoung is wrong… Whoops… I did.”

My heart sank, and my heart sank.

The child did nothing wrong.

It was his fault, but why would the child apologize to him?

At Chaeyun’s words, he raised his head and looked at her.

Seeing Chae Yoon dripping with tears, Jo Sung Hyun raised his hand and wiped the tears away.

As I moved my thumb and stroked my face, I could see my fingers trembling.

I’m so happy.

Because I can see Chae-yoon again like this.

“… … .”

“Dad… Whoops. Even if Chae-yoon is there, shouldn’t my father know?”

My heart hurts.

Could it be that he thought it was his fault that his wife was sick?

Her health was not very good from the beginning.

Of course, it’s not Chae-yoon’s fault.

Ironically, at the child’s words, his mind flashed and the tears stopped.

“Dad, it doesn’t hurt. Neither mother nor Chaeyoon is sick.”

“Isn’t Chae-yoon going to leave?”

It hurt.

It felt like a nail had been pierced into my heart.

Because he was the one who left the child once.

He swallowed something hot and opened his mouth.

“Dad, don’t leave. For the rest of my life, Chaeyoon will be by my side.

so he

turn away and turn around

finally came back

to his daughter.

crispy.

Looking down at Chaeyoon, who was sleeping with her head resting on her arm, Jo Sunghyun smiled.

so lovely

How did you create such a fuss over having a child like this to focus on your work?

“… company?”

“I told the manager and left work early.”

When his mother, Lee Soo-hyun, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, asked a question, Jo Sung-hyun answered immediately.

Of course, Chae-yoon did not come to the ossuary alone.

“He called and said he wanted to see his mother, so I brought him here.”

“thanks.”

“Ugh… done. I know you’re busy with work. I’m glad I came home early today.”

“… … .”

Jo Sung-hyun did not answer and turned his head to look at Chae-yoon.

Jo Seong-hyeon, who looked at the child who had fallen asleep from crying, opened his mouth.

“Chaeyoon, aren’t you pretty?”

“Now do you know that your daughter is pretty?”

“… Now I am sober.”

“I’m glad you’re awake now. Saeah died and she lost her mind.”

“I was stupid. Leaving me behind such a pretty daughter.”

Seong-Hyeon Cho said.

At his words, Lee Soo-hyun showed a gentle smile.

She was always sad.

Of course, there is no way to stop Cho Seong-hyun from focusing on work, and thus earning money from work.

You have to earn money to live and eat.

In fact, from the position of being a mother, she wanted Seong-hyeon Jo to quit her job and take a little break, but in reality, that wasn’t the case.

‘They say I’ll never use the insurance money… Then you have to make money… ‘

She will continue to work in the future, and then Chae-yoon will not be able to spend long time with her father as well as her mother, and that was a concern.

“Take some time from now on. I need to know that your job is a job without weekends and it’s messy, but it would be great if Chaeyoon had a father by her side. How sad it is to go to kindergarten and hold grandma’s hand every time there is an event.”

Soohyun Lee says

Jo Seong-hyeon, thinking about what to answer to her words, licked his lips.

Words rolled around in my mouth.

But all he could answer was one word that wasn’t very long.

“yes.”

Jo Sung-hyun, who gave a brief answer, immediately turned his head and looked out the window.

The sky was clear.

Like Chaeyoon’s eyes.

* * *

the next morning.

Jo Sung-hyun opened his eyes.

Chae-yoon was still sleeping next to him.

Perhaps Chaeyoon is not even tired, but after returning from the ossuary yesterday and having dinner, she babbled nonstop and eventually fell asleep again.

Jo Sung-hyeon looked at Chae-yoon who was asleep, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally went to sleep.

I only slept for about two hours.

I didn’t feel tired at all.

Was it because I was organizing my thoughts all night long?

On the contrary, my mind was very sane.

“Return… .”

return.

Cho Sung-hyun had no choice but to come to that conclusion.

I don’t know how I was able to do it, but the reality was that I came back 10 years ago.

He decided to admit it, and he decided to go through life once more.

He had Cho Chae-yoon.

own daughter.

As long as she is there, Jo Sung-hyun has a reason to live.

“Uh… Dad?”

Chae-yoon opened her eyes and fumbled with her hand.

Jo Seong-hyeon immediately reached out and grabbed her hand.

“Here it is.”

“Hey… .”

Chae-yoon held Seong-hyun’s hand tightly.

Seeing her smiling while holding her hand as if hugging her with both hands, Jo Sung-hyun gave a gentle smile.

They quickly got up and got ready to go out.

Jo Sung-hyun sent Chae-yoon to kindergarten directly.

It had never been like that before, so Chaeyoon was with me with a very excited face.

Seong-hyeon Jo, who waved to her with a clear smile and waved her hand, turned around only after confirming that Chae-yoon took the teacher’s hand and entered.

He clenched his fists, loosened his strength, and quickly moved forward.

I went fast because I said I was going fast, but I was inevitably late to bring Chaeyoon to school.

As soon as I got to work, I felt the glances of others glancing at me.

As soon as I sat down and unpacked my luggage, Park Joong-won approached me.

“Jo Seong-hyun.”

“Yes, chief.”

“Look at me for a second.”

At Park Joong-won’s words, Seong-hyeon Jo stood up immediately.

It was his fault for being late, so it was only natural to hear what he had to say.

Park Joong-won finally called Jo Sung-hyun to the conference room.

As soon as the meeting room door closed, Park Joong-won let out a sigh.

“Hey, why are you like this?”

“sorry.”

“You sent it out early yesterday. huh? I didn’t expect that I was going to work early today, but I’m suddenly 30 minutes late and it’s a mess.”

“… sorry.”

I didn’t want to say anything else, and I didn’t want to say it as an excuse, so Jo Seong-hyeon just repeated the words “I’m sorry”.

Seeing him, Park Joong-won sighed and shook his head.

“done. I’ve worked until now, so I’ll be fine if I’m late. Still, if you think you’ll be late, just tell me. I’m worried if the kid who usually arrives early and goes in late suddenly becomes late.”

“thank you. manager.”

Park Joong-won was truly giving for Seong-hyeon Jo.

Feeling that, Jo Sung-hyun thanked him.

He was the only person who maintained a good relationship until the very end at AK Entertainment, the company that Jo Sung-hyun currently works for.

He gave me a lot of advice and always treated Cho Sung-hyun sincerely.

“Work, isn’t it fun?”

Park Joong-won asks.

Isn’t it fun?

To be honest, it was rather fun in terms of whether it was fun or not.

Now was the time when he didn’t start music, and if he does, work will be more fun.

However, Jo Sung-hyun nodded his head.

“It’s not fun. I don’t even know the meaning I have a lot of vain thoughts about what will be left at the end of this road.”

If he doesn’t change here, in 10 years, he’ll work hard.

And in the end, only regret will remain.

“Well, I think I have to work these days to find out what’s left of me. At first, I started doing it because it was fun, but now I am forced to work just because of my salary.”

Park Joong-won said.

At his words, Seong-hyeon smirked.

“Anyway, I had something to say to you, but it’s easier to say that work isn’t fun.”

“What do you mean?”

Jo Sung-hyeon felt a little uneasy after hearing Park Joong-won’s words.

Park Joong-won nodded and opened his mouth.

“Aren’t you thinking of doing music?”
