Food came out.
The conversation about the contract was cut off for a moment, and the usual conversations came out.
Jo Sung-hyeon watched the child eat to see if Chae-yoon couldn’t eat well.
If you don’t like it, you’ll have to order something else.
But luckily, Chaeyoon ate ramen and opened her eyes.
There was no sign of dislike at all.
“How are you, Chae Yoon-ah?”
Yu-mi is also looking at Chae-yoon, and asks Jo Seong-hyun before she even opens her mouth.
Chae-yoon smirked.
“it’s delicious.”
Saying that, the child picks up a Japanese-style spoon unique to a ramen restaurant and eats the soup eagerly.
Jo Sung-hyeon smiled and picked up a little of the child’s ramen with chopsticks and placed it on the spoon that Chae-yoon was holding.
hooch.
Chae-yoon quickly drinks the ramen.
As Jo Seong-hyeon did, the child moved his chopsticks and began to eat noodles with the soup little by little on the spoon.
Jo Seong-hyeon, who confirmed that Chae-yoon was eating well, started eating with a spoon himself.
Tonkotsu Ramen was made with broth made from pork bones.
Since it was quite Cho Sung-hyun’s taste, he was able to eat it deliciously.
“Okay.”
“yes. They said it was a restaurant, but it is true.”
Park Joong-won nodded at Jo Sung-hyun’s words.
The longer you work in the entertainment industry, the more you learn about restaurants.
Usually, they come out quickly and get to know a lot of delicious restaurants, and then they get to know restaurants that contain the celebrity’s taste.

Managers tend to share information about restaurants in many ways, but this ramen restaurant was really good.
“The chashu is also delicious.”
A chunk of meat served with ramen is called chashu.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled as she saw Yu-mi cut Chashu into small pieces and put it on Chae-yoon’s spoon.
I am so thankful that Yumi takes care of me when I don’t care.
“Are there any issues in the company these days?”
“Anything? Oh, do you remember the guy you worked with last time? My name is Woojin Choi.”
“I remember.”
The composer who composed Blue Night and a trainee for Pan Entertainment.
“He joined the debut group this time.”
“uh? okay?”
Now is not the time, is it?
Choi Woo-jin entered the debut group quite sooner than Jo Seong-hyun remembered.
“Honestly, I don’t think I’m going to fall this time again, but anyway, it’s definitely good news for the kids.”
“Because you’re good, you’ll be fine.”
Anyway, Choi Woo-jin succeeded as an idol, so Jo Sung-hyun wasn’t too worried.
In the first place, he was not in a position to worry about Choi Woo-jin.
‘What do I say?’
Not long ago, Jo Sung-hyun was a manager.
From https://noblemtl.com
Managers should not be in a position to worry about trainees.
it’s all there
Jo Seong-hyeon thought to himself and drank the ramen broth.
“Hyung, do you know any news about female trainees?”
“yes? Although I don’t really know if it’s the kids I’ve contacted. I barely hear the news. Do you have any children you are interested in?”
“My name is Yerin Lee. I’m a female trainee… I will be close with Woojin.”
When I was working on Blue Night with Choi Woo-jin, I mentioned Lee Ye-rin, saying that Choi Woo-jin recommended a guide vocal.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and there was no one who could capture emotions as well as Jo Seong-hyun himself, so I did it myself.
‘We met once after that.’
I remember it being pretty lively.
I don’t know much about music because I haven’t heard it, but if Woojin Choi acknowledges and picks Yerin Lee as the guide vocalist for his song, I’m sure he’s doing something in the middle.
At first, being a trainee at Pan Entertainment meant that I was on average better than trainees in other small entertainment companies.
It was a passing relationship, but suddenly I remembered it.
I don’t know if I will debut later or not.
I literally just thought of it as if it was passing through my mind.
“Yerin… I’ve heard it a few times too. They said that the kid who had always stayed in Group A was dropped into Group B in the last two months.”
“Oh yeah?”
A Jomyeon Literally, it can be said that he is a talented person who can start preparing for his debut at any time.
Even when debuting, most of the kids are selected from Group A.
It was almost one of two things that stayed in Group A and then dropped to Group B.
lack of practice.
Or, if the mental state is very shaken.
Usually, the problem arises because of the lack of practice.
However, no matter how much you practice, if your skills are still the same, there are many cases where you can’t because your mental is broken.
If it was like that from the beginning, it’s just that you don’t have talent, but if you’ve stayed in Group A, it means you don’t have talent.
Cho Sung-hyun scratched his cheek.
There is one good news and one bad news.
It was a sudden thought, and even after hearing the bad news, there was nothing Jo Seong-hyeon could do about it, so he merely shook his head a few times to respond.
The meal was a bit leisurely.
There was no need to eat quickly, and Park Joong-won, Jo Sung-hyun, and Yumi had a habit of eating quickly, even because of their schedules.
It wasn’t Chaeyoung.
As Yumi and Jo Sung-hyun were taking care of Chae-yoon and eating, the meal time was later than usual, and Park Joong-won also ate slowly according to it.
Thanks to you, we were able to talk a lot.
“Oh, I was really struggling. Won’t my brother suddenly resign? Maybe I did it too hard, I regret it a little, and I was worried about many things musically, and it was at that point that my brother and Seo Ye-na are preparing an album together… ”
Yumi unraveled the story she had been hiding for so long.
As an artist, she also faced a lot of difficulties.
Now that the reaction is slowly coming, I was happy in that part, but there were a lot of problems both musically and humanly.
Jo Sung-hyun knew how sensitive Yumi was at that time, so he nodded his head in sympathy.
It was because Yumi showed a slightly different appearance from the Yumi that Jo Seong-hyeon usually knew, to the extent that she even had a fight with Seo Ye-na.
Park Joong-won said that Yumi’s appearance was not strange, but for Jo Seong-hyeon, it is true that it was a little unexpected.
So I finished eating.
They moved to the cafe.
The talk of the contract began to come and go in earnest.
“Then you will be involved in composing and listen to all the songs you’ve heard so far, right?”
“You have to start by listening. If you don’t find a song you like, you have to go find composers.”
“If not, are you working?”
“yes.”
“Can you do it?”
“brother.”
“yes?”
“Who did Yena Seo’s album production?”
“OK.”
At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Park Joong-won smiles lightly.
“When will work start?”
“It starts right from Wednesday.”
“okay. Then, the down payment will be processed immediately in the morning of tomorrow.”
“Yep.”
Jo Sung-hyun nodded in response.
Park Joong-won slipped a pen and a contract to Seong-hyeon Jo.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and signed the contract.
Chae-yoon looks at him curiously from the side.
After signing the contract, Jo Sung-hyun smiled softly and stroked Chae-yoon’s hair.
So he got to work for Pan Entertainment once again.

way home.
Jo Seong-hyeon took the child’s hand and moved.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“yes?”
“Would you like to stop by before we go home?”
“where?”
“Just, Mart?”
At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Chae-yoon blinks.
However, the child nodded as if he knew immediately whether he hated going to the mart.
“But you have to go home quickly.”
“okay?”
“yes. I have to go home and play the piano.”
“I wanted to play the piano, but I couldn’t play, did I just come out?”
“Jungwon has an uncle and Yumi unnie.”
As the child said that, he grabbed my hand and dragged me as if to go to the mart.
Jo Sung-hyeon gently stretched out his arm and hugged Chae-yoon.
I went camping, and I want to keep playing the piano at home, but I put up with it and had an appointment for dinner, so I guess I just came out.
In fact, even when he went camping, Yeongjun drew his favorite pictures to his heart’s content.
However, Chae-yoon was not in an environment where she could play the piano while camping, so she must have thought that she wanted to continue playing the piano.
Of course, Chae-yoon likes to play with Jo Sung-hyun, but she also likes the piano very much.
I just came home and wanted to play the piano to my heart’s content, but I came out for an evening appointment, so I think I’ll want to go home right away.
“Let’s go shopping and go inside.”
Jo Sung-hyun kissed Chae-yoon’s cheek lightly and said.
When he kisses his cheek, Chae-yoon also kisses Seong-hyeon’s face with a pleasant face.
“Let’s go!”
The child waved his arms and said, and Jo Sung-hyun laughed and hurried his steps.
After arriving at the hypermarket near his house, Jo Sung-hyun headed to a place that sold things like children’s toys, not the food corner he usually went to.
Chae-yoon followed Jo Sung-hyun with a puzzled face.
Of course, he thought he had come to the grocery store to buy something to eat.
Jo Seong-hyeon leaned on one knee in front of the toy mart inside the hypermarket.
He made eye level with Chae-yoon and looked at the child.
Chae-yoon also looks at Seong-hyeon with a single eye.
“I’m sorry that Dad couldn’t bring you a Christmas present, Chae Yoon-ah. It’s a little late, but I’ll buy you a present that Chaeyoon likes.”
Hearing Jo Sung-hyun’s words, Chae-yoon made a sound like hey, opened her arms and hugged Jo Seong-hyun’s neck as if wrapped around her.
“Is your dad giving you presents instead of Santa?”
“yes. right.”
“okay!”
The child answered with a bright face.
Chae-yoon believes that there is no Santa, but there is no reason to dislike gifts.
The child wandered around eagerly, looking at the toys.
Jo Seong-hyeon also followed Chae-yoon and watched the toys the child was watching.
It’s because Chaeyoon doesn’t talk about what she wants or wants.
I’ve only recently been able to express myself a little differently, but there are still a lot of things that my child finds difficult to say.
Chae-yoon often stayed in places where there were dolls.
There is a little mermaid doll in the house, but there is only one.
There must be several dolls in the children’s house this time of year.
‘Should I buy it often?’
Jo Seong-hyeon was thinking to himself, and Chae-yoon, who had stayed in the corner with the dolls for a while, turned and looked at Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Sung-hyeon erased the thoughts in his head and looked at Chae-yoon.
What did the child choose?
“Dad.”
“Yes, Chae Yoon-ah. What do you like?”
I asked that question, but the child shook his head.
Jo Sung-hyun looked at Chae-yoon with a puzzled face.
What do you not like?
“Instead of Santa Claus, Dad gives Chae-yoon a present.”
“yes.”
“Then who gives Dad a present?”
Jo Sung-hyun paused at the unimaginable question.
The child met Jo Sung-hyun’s eyes.
Jo Sung-hyun looked into Chae-yoon’s eyes and thought about it.
It’s also what I think of every time I see it.
The child’s eyes were so clear.
