Jo Sung-hyun did not react at all for a moment.
It was quite meaningful to say that Chae-yoon was an idiot.
‘Stupid’ was one of the worst bad words she could say.
The fact that Chae-yoon called Park Han-yul an idiot also meant that Chae-yoon was upset.
At the voice of Chae Yoon-i, Park Han-yul and his mother also turned their heads to look at Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon.
Jo Sung-hyun reached out to Chae-yoon and gently restrained the child.
To say I’m an idiot here wasn’t very wise.
Of course, it wasn’t that Chaeyoon didn’t understand, but… .
‘Because I can understand Park Han-yul’s feelings.’
I heard last time that I don’t see my dad often, and I might be disappointed that he didn’t come to the awards ceremony this time.
It was a bit harsh to say that I didn’t need a father like that, but I understand the sentiment.
“Why am I an idiot? You are more stupid.”
Park Han-yul wrinkled his brow and said.
He glared at Chae-yoon and exclaimed.
Chaeyoung shook her head.
“Chaeyoon is an idiot, but you are even more stupid!”
the child says
Jo Seong-hyeon leaned slightly and wrapped his arms around Chae-yoon’s shoulder.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“… yes.”
“You can’t just shout and get angry all of a sudden.”
Jo Sung-hyun spoke to the child in a calm voice and bowed his head to Park Han-yul’s mother.
“sorry.”
As he bows his head, Park Han-yul’s mother waves her hand.
“Oh, no. I’m sorry too.”
Park Han-yul’s mother apologizes.
Knowing that she had no reason to apologize, Jo Seong-hyeon apologized once again and set eye level with Chae-yoon.
“Chae Yoon-ah. Shall I say sorry to Hanyul?”
“… I’m not sorry Chaeyoon.”
The child shakes his head and says.
Seong-hyeon was a little perplexed.
Until now, Chae-yoon had never acted in the opposite direction to Jo Sung-hyun’s words.
I’ve done it a little differently, but I’ve never done the exact opposite.
Chaeyoon like that openly expressed her objection.
he says he’s not sorry
“He said he didn’t need a father.”
Chae-yoon glanced at Park Han-yul and said.
Jo Sung-hyun pondered for a moment how to explain to the child.
I wanted to explain exactly what was wrong, and how to explain it well so that the child doesn’t get hurt.
It was the moment he opened his mouth.
“What do you know?”
Park Han-yul’s voice came from behind.
“Park Han-yul,”
His voice sounded like his mother had stopped him.
Park Han-yul did not stop talking.
“What do you know! It’s a topic that I go to with my dad every day.”
Angry, Park Han-yul shouted.
At that moment, Jo Seong-hyeon saw the face of Chae-yoon in front of him change.
It was the first time he looked like that.
A lightly hardened expression and pathetic eyes as if looking at Park Han-yul.
Jo Sung-hyeon saw Chae-yoon like that for the first time.
“When was the last time you saw your dad?”
Chaeyoung asked.
The pronunciation is not as clear as usual, but it conveys exactly what the child is trying to say.
“2 weeks ago.”
“envy. The last time I saw Chae-yoon was 100 weeks ago.”
It’s been over 2 years, so I probably haven’t seen it for over 100 weeks.
I don’t know if I knew exactly what he said, but anyway, what did Chaeyoon mean?
Jo Seong-hyeon, Park Han-yul, and Park Han-yul’s mother.
Everyone who heard the child knew.
Park Han-yul pauses and looks at Chae-yoon.
He seemed to have said that without thinking at all that Chae-yoon did not have a mother.
I had never said anything directly to the child, so it was natural.
Jo Seong-hyeon had to be genuinely surprised to see Chae-yoon talking about his wife so bluntly.
Chaeyoon’s expression, saying that she didn’t see her mother in over two years, seemed to be very envious of seeing her two weeks ago, was hiding a lot.
“You can’t lie to your mother.”
“… What kind of lie was a lie… .”
“I didn’t need you, you lied.”
Chaeyoung said calmly.
Jo Sung-hyun got goosebumps there.
It was because it was a very different image from the appearance that Chaeyoon had shown in front of Jo Sung-hyun so far.
Chae-yoon was leading the story calmly, and in that figure…
‘It’s very similar to me.’
Jo Sung-hyun was there.
As he himself admits, Chae-yoon was talking too similar to what Jo Seong-hyeon was doing.
It’s not just like a child.
image of a mature child.
“… It’s not a lie.”
“You are an idiot.”
With a firm voice, Chae-yoon said.
“My dad doesn’t even know. He doesn’t come to see me because he works every day, he only goes with other aunts, and he doesn’t play with his mother. What kind of dad is that?”
Park Han-yul wrinkled his face and said.
Tears begin to form in the corners of the child’s eyes.
In contrast, Chae-yoon still had a calm face.
Neither Jo Sung-hyun nor Park Han-yul’s mother seemed to know what to do in this situation.
They just met each other’s eyes for a moment, then shut their mouths quietly.

Maybe, not drying it might be the best solution.
“I still need my dad. Dad must be there.”
“I… !”
“You can’t keep saying you don’t like Daddy and saying you don’t like Daddy, and then Daddy really disappears.”
After saying that, Chae-yoon hugged Seong-hyun’s leg.
Returning to her usual Chae-yoon, the child opens her mouth.
“Chae-yoon likes her father. Daddy can’t be gone.”
At the child’s words, Park Han-yul could not say anything and kept her mouth shut.
I don’t know if there was a change of heart or if I was just angry and unfair, but I didn’t have anything to say.
Park Han-yul hurriedly turned around and went in first.
Jo Seong-hyeon simply bowed his head to Park Han-yul’s mother.
She also bowed her head to Seong-hyeon Jo and bowed her head.

“brother!”
Yumi got out of the car, found Jo Sung-hyun and waved her hand.
Chae-yoon smiles broadly and waves her hand to Yu-mi.
Jo Sung-hyun could immediately notice that Yu-mi was dressed up a little more than usual.
It’s not as much as when we had a schedule, but we came out with a lot of energy.
It seemed like they were saying, too, I’m a celebrity, so Jo Seong-hyeon had to look around and pay attention.
Fortunately, there weren’t many people around.
Yumi hurried her steps a little, and immediately greeted Chaeyoon.
“Hello, Chae-yoon?”
“hello!”
The child smiles brightly and says hello.
Yumi held out her hand, and Chaeyoon reached out her hand and gave a high-five.
After saying goodbye to Chae-yoon, Yu-mi turned her head to Seong-hyun Jo.
“Hello Brother.”
“Yes, Yumi. How have you been?”
“I had a good time. I was really looking forward to seeing our Chaeyoon.”
Saying so, Yumi gently stroked Chaeyoon’s hair.
“When does the awards ceremony start?”
At her question, Jo Sung-hyun checked the time.
“It starts in ten minutes. You can go comfortably.”
“Everyone seems to be seated first. Seeing no one here.”
“I think so.”
“OK. Let’s go too.”
Saying that, Yumi reached out to Chaeyoon, who smiled and took Yumi’s hand.
Chae-yoon, who held out her opposite hand toward Jo Seong-hyeon, moved her hand as if to go quickly.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and took Chae-yoon’s hand and moved.
On the left, Yumi, and on the right, Jo Seong-hyeon hold Chae-yoon’s hand and go inside and take a seat.
As it is an awards ceremony, until now only mothers have usually come, but this time, there were quite a few cases where fathers also came.
Jo Sung-hyeon sincerely thanked Yumi.
Because Chae-yoon was happy.
The child was talking to Jo Sung-hyeon and Yumi in turn, making a pleasant face.
“brother.”
“Yes, Yumi.”
“Oppa, what kind of award do you think Chae-yoon will receive?”
“I do not know. Encouragement Award… ?”
You could try to win the grand prize, the grand prize, and the first prize, but in reality, the encouragement prize had the highest probability.
At least, that was the case for Cho Sung-hyun.
“why? Isn’t our Chae-yoon the perfect winner?”
As if Yumi wasn’t like that, she patted Jo Sung-hyun’s shoulder and said.
Jo Sung-hyun scratched his cheek.
Park Han-yul’s piano was too good to be considered a grand prize winner.
He played the standard and textbook piano, which was obviously too good a performance to win a competition.
If Chae-yoon’s piano is worse than that, it’s not an easy thing to answer, but if you were to say who has a higher chance of winning, Jo Seong-hyun could immediately say that Park Han-yul is much higher.
Chaeyun’s performance was definitely good, but it wasn’t a good performance to score points.
Because the judges give each score, add up the scores, and decide the prize… It was the best for a standard performer to receive an award.
“If one of the judges does not give Chae Yoon a generous score, it will probably be a little more difficult than the Encouragement Award.”
Seong-Hyeon Cho said.
Since the award is awarded by combining the scores evaluated by several judges, it would be really difficult to win more than the Encouragement Award if there were no judges who gave Chae Yoon an unusually high score.
‘But there is no judge to give an unusually high score.’
Therefore, Cho Seong-hyeon was expected to receive the Encouragement Award with a high probability.
“Are you expecting to win an award anyway?”
“… I don’t think I will.”
Although Jo Seong-hyeon is not a judge, there were times when, as a musician, listening to a child’s performance brought admiration spontaneously.
It wasn’t a very textbook performance.
It was a performance that had a strong feeling that Chaeyoon was playing freely.
Still, it was a performance that showed off freedom while keeping the basics well.
Rather than not giving the award at all, I thought that it would be an encouragement award.
yet.
The awards ceremony has begun.
“Congratulations. Encouragement Award, Eun-hye Oh, and Hyun-tae Kim.”
As soon as we started, two children received the Encouragement Award.
Jo Seong-hyeon’s predictions were brilliantly wrong.
Now, unless it’s more than the Encouragement Award, it’s impossible to even win a prize.
“Before announcing the Grand Prize and Excellence Award, we will first announce the Grand Prize.”
The presenter says so, takes a moment to catch his breath, and then raises the microphone.
Jo Sung-hyun looked at the stage as calmly as possible.
and.
The presenter’s mouth opens.
“Congratulations. Miss Jo Chae-yoon.”
And from his mouth, Chaeyoon’s name came out.
