Jo Sung-hyun was a little embarrassed, and he couldn’t speak easily because he didn’t know what to do.

He cautiously leaned against the car and continued the conversation.

-I’ve been thinking about it, but no matter how much I calculate, I don’t think a cup of coffee is enough.

“Is it?”

– That’s what helped me. I almost stepped on shit for nothing, because I told them it was shit. But if you fill it with a cup of coffee, the name Seo Ye-na doesn’t seem right.

Yena Seo says

Jo Sung-hyun tried to figure out why she was saying this.

Right now, Seo Ye-na was saying that she wanted to do something more for Seong-hyeon, but if you look at the reality, it probably won’t be at all.

Because Yena Seo wasn’t an idiot.

She was a singer who had been active in the entertainment industry for a long time.

It has been established as one of the pillars of Pan Entertainment, having undergone several incidents so far.

Does such a person bring up a story that has already passed without any calculations?

Until you’ve been trying to figure out your own contact information?

‘That’s ridiculous.’

Of course, it could be because Seo Ye-na is just a nice, kind person.

If it were Yumi and not Seo Ye-na, Jo Sung-hyun would have felt her heart of genuine gratitude.

But not Seo Ye-na.

Although Jo Seong-hyeon did not know Seo Ye-na well, she could predict her behavior from that alone.

– Why don’t you say anything? How do you feel because I’m thankful?

“Oh, I was thinking about something else for a second. sorry.”

-I’ve heard the sound of rolling your eyes about what to ask for, but what are your thoughts?

Seo Ye-na speaks as if it’s not even funny.

She wasn’t the type to trust people so easily.

That’s what the entertainment industry is.

It is a place where no one can easily trust.

Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth, looking at the kindergarten in the distance.

“I have no intention of asking for anything. Jena. I don’t think you need to worry about that.”

-I’m not worried, because it is the rule of the country to pay back the original favor twice and enemies ten times. It’s too conscientious to try to fill me up with a cup of coffee, and you’ll never know again. Will there be a backstory?

“… ?”

Jo Sung-hyun wondered if there was such a rule of thumb, but he did not dare to speak out.

Seo Ye-na clicked her tongue when Jo Seong-hyun didn’t say anything.

Hearing that sound, Jo Sung-hyun continued.

“I’m not going to gossip, coffee is enough for me.”

I would be leaving soon, but I didn’t want to be more involved with Seo Ye-na.

It was the best thing for Jo Sung-hyun to just go out neatly.

But for Seo Ye-na, that wasn’t the case.

– Oh, then how about something like this? My manager’s seat is vacant right now, but that’s my manager. I think it will be a good opportunity.

Jo Sung-hyun blinked his eyes.

Seo Ye-na’s manager position.

It was such an attractive position that I would have seriously considered it if I hadn’t thought of leaving my job.

Because the influence of the name Seo Ye-na is considerable.

I can’t even think about it now.

“It looks like you didn’t hear from Team Leader Woo. I am leaving this week.”

-Eh. What is a sudden resignation? You have to make a sound that makes sense. They said that Yumi made a comeback on Saturday and followed the schedule today.

“… I think you should ask Team Leader Woo about that.”

Slowly getting annoyed, Jo Sung-hyun said that and glanced at the time.

Chaeyoung will be waiting for you.

“I’m sorry, Jena-san. I have to go pick up my daughter. I will just go.”

-her… I see. i’m real This is the first time in my life that I have been treated like this.

Seong-Hyeon Cho did not answer.

Just quietly press the end call button.

With the smartphone roughly shoved into his pocket, Jo Sung-hyun took a step forward.

to meet his daughter.

way to go home.

Chae-yoon was smiling brightly.

Seeing such a child, Jo Sung-hyun burst into laughter.

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

“yes?”

“What are you happy about today?”

“yes!”

Chae-yoon answers right away.

Jo Seong-hyun opened his mouth, feeling that his mood improved at the same time as the child who looked particularly happy.

“What happened?”

“Young-jun told Chae-yoon that he can play the piano well!”

Saying that, Chae-yoon laughs hehehe.

Jo Seong-hyeon had a strange feeling when he saw Chae-yoon like that.

Is it so pleasant to hear that Yeongjun is good at playing the piano?

‘Because I like music the most. It would feel good to be recognized for that.’

Even more so if that person is a friend.

“Youngjun knows how to listen to music.”

“Youngjun is not a bad kid.”

Jo Sung-hyun laughed at the child’s expression.

“Chae Yoon-ah, what do you want for dinner?”

When we were all home, Jo Sung-hyun asked.

It was just time to get hungry.

Chae-yoon turns to Jo Sung-hyun while thinking about it.

“Dad?”

“Are you eating Daddy for dinner?”

When Jo Sung-hyun asked with a smile, Chae-yoon’s eyes widened and shook her head vigorously.

“not really. Then it will be a big deal!”

Seeing Chae-yun say no, Jo Sung-hyun laughed again.

Because I know very well what the child meant.

He must have asked what he wanted to eat.

“Dad, everything is fine. I have tteokbokki at home, so shall I eat tteokbokki?”

“Does your dad make tteokbokki?”

“Can you?”

Jo Sung-hyun nodded and said.

Have you ever tried tteokbokki in your life?

At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Chae-yoon’s face brightened.

“I like Chae-yoon!”

So, the dinner menu was decided to be tteokbokki.

back home

“Chae Yoon-ah. Let’s wash our hands first.”

At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, as soon as Chae-yoon put down her bag, she ran to the bathroom.

Jo Seong-hyeon, holding Chae-yoon gently, made it easy for Chae-yoon to wash his hands, and soon he washed his hands as well.

Immediately they started making tteokbokki.

Tteokbokki was not a difficult dish.

I have sugar, soy sauce, and red pepper paste at home, but there was nothing I couldn’t do.

Chae-yoon looked at Seong-hyeon Jo as if it was strange to see him making tteokbokki.

Jo Sung-hyun wasn’t a good cook, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t good at it either.

Even if I wasn’t good at it, I was able to taste it clumsily.

“Dad.”

“yes?”

“Did you call?”

“yes? Nope. Just checking.”

While making tteokbokki, Jo Sung-hyun, who was checking the recipes he found on the Internet, shoved his smartphone into his pocket at Chae-yoon’s words.

The tteokbokki was ready in no time.

After checking the liver, Jo Seong-hyeon took Chae-yoon’s portion on a small plate.

“Chae Yoon-ah, is this enough?”

nod.

Chaeyun, nodding her head, was already holding a fork with a character on it.

His whole body was showing his desire to eat quickly, so Jo Sung-hyun smiled and quickly set the table on the table.

“Come on, let’s eat!”

“I will enjoy this food!”

Chae-yoon shouts in an excited voice.

I felt it when I was making gimbap last time, but Chae-yoon really liked the dishes Jo Seong-hyun made.

‘Maybe it’s just curious.’

I’ve never done anything like cooking before.

There must have been very little time to eat at home, and when there was, Jo Sung-hyeon would have bought it from outside, or it would have been Chae-yun’s grandmother, Lee Soo-hyeon.

Cho Seong-hyeon picked up the tteokbokki with chopsticks and ate it.

It’s not bad, so I’m happy with it.

Chaeyoon’s face was strange as she dipped the mochi with a fork and put it in her mouth.

Jo Sung-hyun noticed something strange and opened his mouth.

“Chae Yoon-ah, why? Doesn’t it taste good?”

“No, it’s Masit.”

He said it was delicious, but his expression was never delicious.

Chae-yoon’s bewildered face and swaying eyes were not the faces she saw when she ate delicious food.

She munched on the mochi in her mouth and swallowed it hard.

Soon, your face turns red.

Only then did Jo Seong-hyeon realize why Chae-yoon was so bewildered and surprised.

It was one of the most common mistakes of new dads.

Obviously, tteokbokki is not without taste.

Because it suited Jo Sung-hyun’s taste well, and it was okay.

But the problem is… .

“Chae Yoon-ah, is it spicy? Sorry.”

It could be spicy for a 7-year-old child.

“Chaeyoon can eat!”

Hastily, Chaeyoon speaks as if making an excuse.

Jo Seong-hyun scratched his cheek while looking at Chae-yoon like that.

It seems like everyone loves it.

I’m going to burst my face

With that thought in mind, Jo Sung-hyun got up from his seat, went to the refrigerator, took out a piece of yogurt, and handed it to Chae-yoon.

Chaeyoon hurriedly took it and ate it.

It looked like it was really spicy.

“I think it was spicier than Grandma’s tteokbokki. I’m sorry, Dad.”

After saying that, Chaeyoon shakes her head.

“Daddy’s fried rice is delicious… .”

Seeing Chaeyun talking while looking at the tteokbokki with regretful eyes, Jo Sunghyun smiled and stroked the child’s head.

In the end, Jo Sung-hyun had to take first aid.

There was nothing great about it.

I just put a little bit of cheese on top.

It won’t fundamentally take away the spiciness, but the cheese will help a lot.

“How are you?”

“Miss.”

Fortunately, it seems to have been adapted to Chae-yoon’s taste.

Seeing Chae-yoon smiling and eating tteokbokki, Seong-hyeon Jo continued to eat again with peace of mind.

That day, Chae-yoon emptied 3 bottles of yogurt while eating tteokbokki.

* * *

“Dad is all right.”

After I finished eating, I was washing the dishes when Chae-yoon came up to me and said,

Jo Seong-hyeon suddenly approached him and looked down at Chae-yoon with a puzzled face at the daughter’s words.

“I’m not good at everything. There are a lot of things my dad can’t do.”

Seong-Hyeon Cho said.

He does a lot more than he is good at.

Look, didn’t you just make a mistake right now?

Chae-yoon is a 7-year-old child, and of course she should have thought that tteokbokki could be spicy, but I couldn’t think of such a simple thing.

what are you good at

“Hey, Daddy is a good cook and a good singer!”

“okay?”

When Jo Sung-hyun asked, Chae-yoon nodded her head.

He seemed to have something to say, so Jo Sung-hyun did not deny it any more.

As he finished washing the dishes, he took off his rubber gloves and turned to hug Chae-yoon.

“Do you like that your father is good at cooking and singing well?”

“yes. Chaeyoung is really good. Youngjun also said that his father was good at singing.”

“I’ll have to buy you something delicious for Yeongjun later.”

“Dad sings very well.”

Seeing that he was constantly emphasizing that he was good at something, Jo Sung-hyun struggled to figure out what Chae-yoon wanted to do.

I don’t think it’s just like that.

Chae-yoon’s intentions were quickly revealed.

The child smiled and clenched his fists.

Inside the little fist was also a small sticker.

The child put it on the back of Jo Sung-hyun’s hand.

“Because Dad is good, he did really well, Sticker!”

It’s been a really long time since I’ve seen you. It’s been a really good time. The sticker was pasted on the back of my hand.

Seong-hyeon Cho received it and smiled sincerely.

“What if our Chaeyoon is so adorable?”

It’s a big deal.

Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself.

He was already feeling it.

He is becoming more and more of a daughter-in-law.
