“Even if I’m busy, I should come to see our little one. Let’s go somewhere. It’s perfect timing that I arrived just in time.”
Bending down to eye level with Woo-joo, who was in his arms, Chae-ha stood up, and Ji-yoon, who was boarding the school bus with the children, appeared.
While exchanging a casual greeting with her as she approached, Rabbit Class Teacher, who was happy to see them, came over.
“Hello. King Dad of Woo-joo!”
“Hello. Is everything okay at the kindergarten, Woo-joo?”
“Is everything okay! Woo-joo is the best star even at our Leaves Kindergarten!”
“Really.”
“Of course! Getting along well with friends, doing only pretty things like this, King Dad of Woo-joo must be so happy… Ah.”
Pausing, Rabbit Class Teacher observed Woo-joo’s reaction.
The sunny Woo-joo, unaware of anything, brightened his eyes at the praise pouring down on him.
Quickly handing over the envelope she was holding, Chae-ha changed the subject.
“As the late summer heat takes hold, I bought some ice cream to share with the kids.”
“Oh my! How kind of you! Even though I turned on the air conditioner today, the kids were still sweating a lot.”
Teacher, holding the hefty bag, smiled with her characteristic rabbit teeth.
Then, she first took out ice cream and handed it to Jaeyoon, who was standing next to the car.
“Eat this. It’s hotter inside the car. Make sure the kids get some too.”
“Oh, yes… Thank you.”
With a puzzled expression, Jaeyoon accepted the ice cream and went to share it with the kids in the car.
Chaeha watched the scene absentmindedly.
“Oh? Isn’t Wooju’s mom here too?”
Teacher Rabbit pointed with her finger, and there was Seolwon walking over with a bewildered expression.
Wearing a sun hat and a white dress, she looked unusually innocent.
Even though it hadn’t been a few hours since they last met, Chaeha’s heart trembled as if a long time had passed.
Before Seolwon arrived on this side, Wooju ran to her mother.
“Mom!”
“Wooju.”
“Mom, you should have ice cream too. Dad bought a lot of ice cream!”
“Oh. Dad…”
While folding her parasol, Seolwon looked at Chaeha, who had come unexpectedly.
He had said that today’s meetings would continue one after another, so it was a strange situation.
“We decided to have the meeting through a video call at home. Today’s a simple informal meeting. Like a strategy meeting.”
“What? A strategy… meeting?”
“You don’t have to worry about anything.”
With a relaxed smile, Chaeha approached Seolwon.
Then, suddenly, she grabbed her shoulders and hugged her.
…!
Although many eyes were watching, Seolwon’s pupils widened at her unexpected action.
Moreover, Jaeyoon, behind the car window, was peeping in their direction.
Whether to say or not, Chaeha, with her shoulders pressed even closer, greeted Teacher Rabbit with a nod.
“Well, we’ll be going now. See you again next time.”
“Yes, yes! Take care. Wooju, goodbye.”
“Yes! Teacher Rabbit, I’m going with Mom~.”
Wooju, bowing and waving, faced a new dilemma when she looked up again.
Should she hold her mom’s hand or her dad’s hand?
“Come here. Little one.”
Creating a space by lowering her hand, Chaeha neatly resolved Wooju’s dilemma.
Soon, with a hearty laugh, Wooju held one hand each of Seolwon and Chaeha.
The warmth of those two hands brought smiles to both faces at the same time.
“Let’s eat the ice cream in the car, Wooju.”
“Yes! I want to eat a really, really delicious one!”
Seolwon and Chaeha were holding Wooju’s hands together.
A unique and lovely world created by the two, irreplaceable by anything.
“Phew, it’s so hot. Really!”
The three cheerful shadows left the front of Leaves Kindergarten and disappeared for a while.
Behind the brick wall, two sweaty shadows sluggishly emerged.
“Yeah, who’s been hiding here on a day like this?”
“Without even caring to bring an umbrella, why talk so much! Director Yoon, are you becoming more negligent in your work?”
“I’m not negligent, especially not towards Director Saemo. I always do my best for Chaehoon.”
“What’s that got to do with anything?”
Facing Hyeongju, who glared as if to kill her, Director Yoon sighed deeply.
“Why do you have to hide behind a wall when you didn’t even commit a crime? You could’ve just watched from the car. The air conditioning is strong.”
“That’s what you call an excuse? It’s not visible from the car! Our adorable baby’s face!”
“Ha. If you catch the summer fever, you won’t say such things.”
Wiping the sweat-soaked forehead, Director Yoon shook his head with a distressed expression.
There was moisture on the inside of Hyeongju’s sunglasses as well, but he decided not to point it out.
In addition to the heat, Hyeongju’s discomfort index had risen significantly due to the recent situation.
“I thought I’d see the baby today, but why did everyone gather here! It’s irritating, I might die of annoyance!”
Actually, they were the ones who gathered here, but it seemed better not to point it out.
Instead, to prepare for work-related contingencies, he decided to subtly gauge her intentions.
“So, what are you going to do? As you saw earlier, those three insist on being together. It seems impossible to separate them.”
In response to Director Yoon’s provocatively taunting tone, Hyeongju unusually wore a serious expression.
It was a fact that even a fool wouldn’t be oblivious to, having witnessed that scene.
It was hard to resist the urge to grab the small hand she was holding, a rather jealous sight.
However, the news that Baeksa-ra was pressuring Chaehoon, whom he had acquired today, made it impossible for her to sit still.
It seemed like a new strategy was needed.
“For now, let’s try to persuade Sara.”
“Baek Sara?”
“Yeah. I’ll tell her to give up on Chaeha and get along with me.”
“Do you really think Baek Sara is genuinely fond of you and is following you, Madam?”
“Director Yoon! Whose side are you on?”
“Calm down, Madam. What will you do if you really collapse from the heat?”
“Ugh, I’m really annoyed in every way!”
Even though she waved her hand in frustration, Hyeongju, in truth, agreed with Director Yoon’s words.
What Baek Sara wanted was her son, not her. As such, overcoming this crisis seemed challenging.
