From the moment a cigarette butt fell in front of Chae-yoon’s feet, Jo Seong-hyun couldn’t control his expression.
Originally, Jo Seong-hyeon was the type of person who tried not to cut people recklessly.
How can you fully understand a person by looking at only fragmentary parts?
You have to judge a person by looking at various aspects and observing them for a long time, isn’t it true about that person?
So, even when he was angry, he would warn me once or twice before getting angry.
‘But this is… .’
Definitely crossed the line.
There was no warning.
Even taking out a cigarette was understandable enough.
Yeah, maybe it was instinctive to think that I needed nicotine.
Usually, I put it back in right after taking it out or as soon as I put it in my mouth because I miss it… It is clearly wrong to smoke openly.
But if that had been the case, Jo Sung-hyun would have just swallowed the discomfort inside.
The problem is that he was too casually bouncing a cigarette butt on the ground, and the butt fell in front of Chaeyoon’s feet.
I don’t know if it was intentional or a mistake.
At first, Jo Sung-hyun had no intention of questioning it.
Whether or not I threw out a butt with the intention of dropping it in front of Chae-yoon’s feet, this is upsetting.
Did you notice Jo Sung-hyun’s anger?
Han Ah-reum looked at Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon with a bewildered face.
A face that is in trouble.
There was no one to dry.
Even Jang Hyun-ah, who is in a position to dry… It was because his face was so stiff that he looked as angry as Jo Sung-hyun.
“under… .”
Seonghyun took a deep breath.
At first, he wasn’t the type to be angry, but now, if he doesn’t exhale like this, he thinks he’ll start screaming.
Irritation surged, but Jo Sung-hyun was able to open his mouth after calming it down a bit by exhaling.
“I, Director Park.”
“Oh, yes, Seonghyun.”
“If you just throw your butts on the floor, you’re in trouble.”
“… … .”
At Jo Sung-hyun’s words, director Park Yeon-cheol looked at him with a frown on his forehead.
Director Park Yeon-cheol looks at Jo Sung-hyun with the eyes that he doesn’t like.
Despite his gaze, Jo Sung-hyun did not stop talking.
“It’s a place that many children come to, so it’s kind of like having something like this on the floor.”
He whispered, pointing to the butt in front of Chaeyoon’s feet.
Director Park Yeon-cheol shook his head as if it was ridiculous.
“No, it could be because I threw it away in a hurry.”
“It cannot be. Director.”
Jo Sung-hyun said in a firm voice.
The atmosphere was starting to get heavier.
Jang Hyun-ah had no intention of stopping Jo Sung-hyun in the first place, and the other staff knew that Director Park had done something wrong, but it was a situation where they could not say anything about it.
After all, they were people working under Director Park, so it would be difficult to tell their superiors.
Only one person can move.
Only Secretary Kim.
At least in the zoo, she could have had the same voice as Chairman Jung Man-soo.
“Director Park.”
“Yes.”
“Sorry, but cigarette butts must be thrown in the trash.”
“Hey, I really… .”
At Secretary Kim’s words, director Park Yeon-cheol scratched his head and cried.
“okay. Okay. With a cigarette butt, you make a man a treason.”
Director Park Yeon-cheol says with a smirk and clenched his tongue.
He finally beckoned while looking at the step next to him.
I don’t want to pick it up myself, so I have another staff member.
Jo Sung-hyun narrowed his eyebrows at that look.
The staff didn’t like the atmosphere, so they looked at Park Yeon-cheol and Jo Seong-hyun alternately.
Park Yeon-cheol laughed at the staff watching their eyes.
“Hey, damn it really.”
Eventually, he swears and sets off to pick up cigarette butts.
Jo Seong-hyeon gently pushed Chae-yoon behind him.
The child takes a step back and approaches Jang Hyun-ah.
Director Park Yeon-cheol bent over, picked up the cigarette butts he had thrown away, and threw them in the trash can next to him.
“It would be nice to have a good life man as my father, my princess.”
Director Park says so in a sarcastic tone and reaches out towards Chae-yoon’s head.
Chae-yoon instinctively curled up and hugged Jo Sung-hyun’s waist.
Jang Hyeon-ah put her hand on Chae-yoon’s shoulder and tried to pull her towards her, but when she saw the child clinging to Jo Seong-hyun, she took a step back and came to Chae-yoon.
Director Park Yeon-cheol’s hand as he strokes Chae-yoon’s hair.
widely.
Jo Seong-hyeon grabbed him without hesitation.
In the hands of Jo Seong-hyeon, who grabbed his wrist, director Park Yeon-cheol had a stern eye.
“What are we going to do now?”
“That’s what I’m going to say. Director. I made it clear earlier that kids don’t like being patted on their hair. There… If your hand touches a cigarette, I will not allow it.”
Jo Sung-hyun said in a strong voice.
What was the first thing he did when he returned?
It was quitting smoking.
Jo Seong-hyeon was originally a smoker, but on the first day he returned, he stopped smoking with Park Joong-won for the last time.
What’s good for a child to smell a cigarette?
As for himself, it was impossible for someone else to touch Chae-yoon with a hand that was smoking a cigarette.
It’s not like you’re stroking with a good heart, especially if you’re stroking your hair with a sarcasm.
In the first place, doesn’t Chae Yoon-yi refuse the touch of director Park Yeon-cheol?
Director Park Yeon-cheol angrily shook off Jo Sung-hyun’s hand.
Jo Seong-hyeon let go of his hand without any regrets.
In the first place, I was holding on to not stroking Chae-yoon’s hair, but I wasn’t holding my wrist to hold him.
Director Park Yeon-cheol opened his mouth as if it was absurd while stroking his wrist that Seong-hyeon was holding.
“It’s not like you’re kidding me. what the hell is this I can’t eat it because it’s fucked up. I was told to pick up cigarette butts, so I picked it up and threw it away, but what else do you not like?”
Are you asking because you don’t know that?
Jo Sung-hyun thought for a moment.
what don’t you like
I don’t like swearing in front of children and throwing cigarette butts anywhere.
From the outset, he tolerated inconsiderate, or in other words, rude behavior.
All of these things are understandable.
Because Chae-yoon wanted to do a CF shoot and thought it would be fun.
Cho Sung-hyun himself thought that it would be okay if he did it once, so he was working on it.
While working as a manager, I had seen countless other rude behaviors of others, so I thought about Jang Hyun-ah’s position and understood it to some extent.
But, after coming this far, I couldn’t stand still.
I like the zoo, I like the CF shooting, and I love working with Chaeyoon.
Yeah, it’s all good.
It seemed impossible to work with such a person.
Jo Sung-hyun wasn’t working alone, and I didn’t like the fact that Chae-yoon had to work with such a person.
“… Today’s meeting ends here.”
Seong-hyeon Cho declared.
“Your senior. You suffered.”
Jang Hyun-ah answered immediately.
As if she had no intention of vomiting Jo Sung-hyun’s words, she immediately settled the situation.
“sorry. Secretary Kim, I will contact you separately.”
Jo Sung-hyun bowed his head slightly to apologize to Secretary Kim.
When things went like this, Secretary Kim bowed her head as if she had no choice but to open her mouth to Jo Seong-hyun.
“Let’s reschedule. You can come in today and rest comfortably.”
It was director Park Yeon-cheol who interrupted Secretary Kim’s words.
“Where are you going? What are you really going to do with me? He is a person who has no sense of responsibility.”
He blamed Cho Sung-hyun, talking about responsibility.
Jo Sung-hyun turned his head to director Park Yeon-cheol with an expressionless face.
no responsibility
Yes, it may feel that way.
But this is the way Jo Sung-hyun takes responsibility.
As a father, I take responsibility for bringing my daughter to a meeting with such a person.
Obviously, you could lose in one way or another, but it’s bearable.
“Director Park. It is your responsibility as an adult to be careful about your behavior in front of children. Please, I hope that Director Park also feels a bit of responsibility.”
“What?”
“What I am responsible for, I take responsibility for myself.”
Jo Sung-hyun said that and turned around, holding the child.
Jang Hyun-ah turned around without hesitation.
Han Ah-reum followed Cho Sung-hyun while alternately illuminating Seong-hyeon Jo, secretary Kim, and director Park Yeon-cheol with the camera.
The meeting ended abruptly without notice.
Jo Sung-hyun, Jang Hyun-ah, and Han Ah-reum.
No one had any regrets about the act of leaving.

“I’m fine… After that, isn’t Dad going to get scolded?”
Chae-yoon, who had been quietly shutting her mouth until returning home, asked Jo Sung-hyun with a worried voice as soon as the front door closed.
Seong-Hyeon Cho smiled.
“Why is your father scolding you?”
“That can’t be it. I’m a person who shoots advertisements… It’s the director, the director.”
chae yoon yi says:
Jo Sung-hyun paused for a moment at the child’s words.
It was cute to worry about being scolded, but suddenly I heard that the director said no… I didn’t like it a bit.
It’s not that I don’t like Chae-yoon, it’s that I didn’t like the child’s worrying about it.
“Why are you a director?”
“Before, Yumi unnie also told the director that when we were filming a music video, we had to be very careful.”
“… … .”
“Jena also said that it’s good to be close with the director.”
“okay?”
“yes. Should I go now and say I’m okay or I’m sorry?”
Chaeyoung looks at her and says.
Even though he was noticing whether Jo Sung-hyun was still angry, he was genuinely worried that he might get scolded later.
He scratched his head.
Do I have to say something so that Chaeyoon will feel safe?
Even with those thoughts, it didn’t feel good to have to worry about such things.
Why do I have to worry about this only because of director Park Yeon-cheol?
‘Do you want to work harder?’
I think it should be a little bit more secure.
He gently stroked Chae-yoon’s hair.
Chae-yoon gently rubs her head in Seong-hyun’s hand.
Seeing the child’s behavior, Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth.
“I’m never going to get angry, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“really?”
“yes. Later, when Director Park got scolded by other people, I got scolded. Dad won’t be offended.”
“… okay.”
Chae-yoon looked at Jo Sung-hyun for a moment, then nodded her head.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled as he saw the child reluctantly nodded and answered.
Probably.
‘I have to show you for sure.’
What kind of person Jo Sung-hyun is and why you don’t have to worry.
I felt like I had to tell you for sure.
