While handling Yumi's schedule, Park Jung-won arrived at the filming site as Chaeyoon's school time approached.
He had asked Park Jung-won to come, so he was relieved that he arrived on time.
"Thank you, Team Leader."
Jo Sung-hyun expressed his gratitude to Park Jung-won.
If he hadn't come, Sung-hyun would have had to stick with Yumi and be prepared for any unexpected situations.
It might have been impossible for him to personally see Chaeyoon off.
"Alright. Hurry back."
"I'll return as soon as possible."
Sung-hyun nodded to Park Jung-won, waving his hand.
Click.
With a small sound, the waiting room door opened, and Yumi came out.
"Oppa, where are you going?"
"Oh, it's because of Chaeyoon. I'm sorry."
"Are you coming back?"
"Yes. I'll be back soon."
"See you later then. Okay."
Yumi said that and went back into the waiting room without any lingering feelings.
Jo Sung-hyun and Park Jung-won exchanged glances as they observed Yumi's actions of coming out and going back in an instant.
Sung-hyun quickly turned his body and drove home.
He hurried because he wondered if Chaeyoon had woken up.
There were no missed calls from Chaeyoon, but he didn't know for sure.
He parked the car in front of the house and went inside, only to find Chaeyoon just starting to get up.
"Dad...?"
"Yeah, Chaeyoon. Dad's here."
"Hehe."
Chaeyoon smiled with a face that was still half asleep.
She had been tired since early morning, but seeing Chaeyoon's smile made all the fatigue disappear.
"Should we get up now?"
"Chaeyoon is up."
Saying that, Chaeyoon got up from her seat.
Naturally, Chaeyoon went to the bathroom and waited for Sung-hyun to hand her the toothbrush.
When Sung-hyun squeezed toothpaste onto the toothbrush, Chaeyoon took it and started brushing her teeth.
While Chaeyoon was brushing her teeth, Sung-hyun went to her room to check her bag.
Is there anything missing?
Sung-hyun confirmed that he had packed everything, including her notebook and diary, and helped Chaeyoon with her preparations again.
"Chaeyoon."
"Yes?"
"Should I spread strawberry jam on the bread or peanut butter?"
"Chaeyoon likes chocolate jam...."
Chaeyoon said, looking at Sung-hyun's reaction.
With a smile, Sung-hyun spread chocolate jam on the bread.
Meanwhile, Chaeyoon went into her room, changed her clothes, and came out.
It's admirable how she can dress herself alone.
Chaeyoon, who had even taken care of her bag, took the bread that Sung-hyun offered and walked briskly out of the house.
"Chaeyoon, you should wear a coat."
It's cold outside.
Worried that she might catch a cold, Sung-hyun handed Chaeyoon a coat.
And he noticed that Chaeyoon's bag was more inflated than when he packed it.
Chaeyoon was wearing clothes and carrying something separately.
The zipper of her bag was slightly open, and at the end, the tail of the Little Mermaid doll was sticking out.
"Hahaha."
Sung-hyun couldn't help but laugh when he noticed it.
Isn't it so cute?
He found it adorable that she had the thought of hiding it in her bag, even though the teacher had said not to bring the Little Mermaid doll to kindergarten.
While laughing, Sung-hyun secretly thought that he should get her something other than the Little Mermaid.
After all, there will come a time when he has to leave the Little Mermaid doll at home.
When Sung-hyun suddenly burst into laughter, Chaeyoon widened her eyes for a moment and then laughed along.
Holding Chaeyoon, who was giggling, Sung-hyun took a step forward.
"Chaeyoon."
"Yes?"
"Today, we'll bring the Little Mermaid with us, but should we let her rest on the bed at home tomorrow?"
Flinch.
Chaeyoon trembled, and Sung-hyun swallowed the laughter that was about to burst out at her action.
"Yes...."
In the end, Chaeyoon nodded her head with a sullen face.
"You're so kind, our Chaeyoon."
Saying that, Sung-hyun patted her back, and she soon smiled again.
At that moment, Sung-hyun thought.
Maybe, this is happiness.
'Ah, I want to quit soon.'
I want to keep being with Chaeyoon.
