Far away, Team Leader Woo Kyung-soo squinted his eyes and turned his body.
As he watched her, Jo Sung-hyun recalled the conversation he had just had with her.
Team Leader Woo Kyung-soo had apologized first.
He said he was sorry, that his mistake had caused Jo Sung-hyun's story to leak to the composer 'Toothless Cat'.
It was not a very good thing for Jo Sung-hyun.
The most important thing in this game was not to make enemies, but he had made an enemy because of Team Leader Woo's mistake.
But that didn't mean it was a huge problem.
Somehow, from the perspective of 'Toothless Cat', he had given the song to Seo Ye-na, which was maybe a better opportunity than giving it to Yumi.
The work itself could be considered resolved.
'Toothless Cat' might personally dislike Jo Sung-hyun and cause trouble.
But in fact, it was hard for that to come to Jo Sung-hyun as a direct loss.
He wasn't going to meet him for the rest of his life anyway.
He could just think that someone he didn't know hated him.
It might have had some impact if Jo Sung-hyun had wanted to stay in this game, but that wasn't the case either.
"What did you say that made Team Leader Woo look so grateful?"
"I just said it didn't matter."
"Huh? Really?"
Park Jung-won looked at him with a curious expression.
Jo Sung-hyun felt that his gaze was rather strange.
He sincerely didn't care, so he just said it didn't matter, but was that so surprising?
"Yes. I'm going to quit anyway. It's not a big deal."
Jo Sung-hyun shrugged his shoulders and said.
Park Jung-won looked at him with a strange eye.
"You're very different from usual."
"Me?"
"Yeah."
"How was I usually?"
Jo Sung-hyun smiled slightly and asked.
Park Jung-won started to talk without a moment's hesitation.
"Well, if you didn't have the intention to quit, you would have taken advantage of Team Leader Woo's mistake, since it was a mistake. Like, in this case... you would have asked him to post something about Yumi's comeback on his artist's SNS."
"Hey, how can I ask for something like that."
"...? You would have asked for it very well and succeeded in the end. I'm not saying you're good at your job for nothing."
Jo Sung-hyun scratched his cheek at Park Jung-won's words.
Was he really like that?
If he didn't have the intention to quit.
If he didn't have the mind to live for his daughter, Chae-yoon, in this life....
Would he really have asked Team Leader Woo for something like that and acted to help Yumi's comeback, his artist in charge?
He didn't know.
No, maybe....
'He might have.'
Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself.
But, so what.
He had already decided to quit.
To live for his daughter.

That evening.
The piano arrived at the house.
It was an electronic piano, so it was not very difficult to install.
After quickly installing it in less than 30 minutes.
Jo Sung-hyun looked back at Chae-yoon.
Chae-yoon was looking at the piano with sparkling eyes.
She was so busy looking at it, she hadn't even put down her bag after coming home.
"Chae-yoon."
"Yes?"
"Go to your room and tidy up your bag first, okay?"
"Yes!"
Chae-yoon ran to her room with an excited voice and tidied up her bag.
She was so quick, there was no way she could do it properly, but Jo Sung-hyun didn't say anything to her.
He just smiled and looked at his daughter.
"Our Chae-yoon, you have a piano now?"
When Jo Sung-hyun said that, Chae-yoon smiled.
As if she didn't know what to say.
The child just smiled.
Jo Sung-hyun couldn't help but feel proud as he watched her, who was so happy.
He thought he should have bought it a day earlier if he knew she would like it so much.
This must be the father's heart.
Chae-yoon approached the piano carefully and slowly touched the piano.
She gently touched the keys, and pressed the power button on the side of the piano.
It was the child's first piano.
He wondered how he could make it a little more special, so Jo Sung-hyun picked up a pen.
"Do you want me to write your name on the side?"
But Chae-yoon shook her head.
"Huh? You don't like writing your name?"
"The piano's name is not Chae-yoon...."
"It's not that the piano's name is Chae-yoon, it's Chae-yoon's piano."
Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth to explain after a moment of thinking about how to say it.
As best as he could for Chae-yoon to understand.
"Um... it's like stamping."
Despite his words, Chae-yoon seemed to think for a while and shook her head.
There was no reason to write her name if she didn't like it, so Jo Sung-hyun put the pen back.
Chae-yoon sat in front of the piano and tapped the keys.
Thud. Thud.
But only the sound of the keys hitting each other was heard.
Soon Chae-yoon looked at Jo Sung-hyun with a sob.
"Daddy...."
"Hmm?"
"It's broken...."
Chae-yoon pointed to the piano and said.
Jo Sung-hyun had to barely hold back his laughter at the sight.
Anyone could see that it wasn't broken.
