“Mom. Mom!”
“Yeah, Wooju. What’s up?”
Seolwon lovingly looked at Wooju while straightening her yellow jumpsuit. Unlike the restless night Seolwon had, Wooju seemed to have slept well, and her chubby cheeks were particularly adorable.
However, for some reason, there was a subtle worry in her eyes.
As Seolwon tidied Wooju’s yellow jumpsuit, she soon opened her small lips and revealed the reason for her concern.
“Yeah~ Mom, did you fight with Dad Dae-wang?”
“…What?”
Surprised, Seolwon peeked behind her.
Chaeha, who hadn’t said a word since waking up in the morning, was absentmindedly touching his tie.
“Mom usually ties Dad Dae-wang’s ribbon. They get along very, very well! But why didn’t you tie it today?”
“Ah…”
Detecting even the smallest change from the usual routine, Seolwon couldn’t help but think that children were hard to deceive.
Intentionally, she even made their breakfast mismatched to avoid any awkwardness.
However, she couldn’t bring herself to tie Chaeha’s tie now.
“Dad Dae-wang wants to tie it himself today.”
“Okay~.”
Seolwon’s response seemed unsatisfactory, so Wooju stared at Chaeha curiously.
For some reason, he was awkwardly tying the tie that he usually did effortlessly.
Not only that, but he also seemed unaware of the fact.
Then, suddenly, Wooju ran towards Chaeha.
“Dad Dae-wang! I’ll do it for you.”
“Ah…”
Chaeha, momentarily surprised, eventually kneeled down and sat on the floor.
Seolwon, discreetly observing, watched as Wooju neatly tied Chaeha’s tie with her tiny hands.
After a while, Seolwon averted her gaze.
It was challenging to witness what seemed like an affectionate wealthy couple in this situation.
Wooju’s wish to live together with Dad Dae-wang for a hundred years in this place was probably not going to come true.
It couldn’t be realized.
Chaeha’s endlessly affectionate voice toward the child settled softly in Seolwon’s ears.
“Now, let’s go. Little one. Dad Dae-wang will give you a ride.”
“Yeah! Wooju wants to go to kindergarten with Dad Dae-wang!”
“…”
While he held Wooju’s hand and glanced at Seolwon, she just silently stared at the living room window.
The garden that was once full of greenery was now gradually being tinted with the light of autumn.
The season that seemed eternal was already silently bidding farewell without her realizing.
Summer had ended.
She comforted herself, saying she had only dreamed a good dream on a midsummer night.
A dream is just a dream. This time, she vowed not to let it take root and instead become the wind.
“Huh?”
During the break at the kindergarten, with the bus door wide open, Jeyun’s field of vision suddenly caught sight of Wooju.
As soon as she saw the round and adorable silhouette, her lips naturally curved into a smile.
However, Jeyun quickly realized that something was strange.
Wooju, who used to enjoy riding swings and playing with the seesaw with friends, was sitting alone in the kindergarten yard for some reason. Moreover, her usual bright demeanor was nowhere to be found; instead, an air of melancholy surrounded her.
Curious, Jeyun jumped out of the car and approached Wooju. “Wooju, what are you doing alone?”
“…Daddy Jeyun!”
As Wooju raised her head, a small wooden stick held tightly in her hand was revealed. She seemed to be drawing on the ground with that stick.
Jeyun’s heart felt a bit stingy as she looked at the drawing Wooju had made. A man and a woman sitting closely together, smiling brightly. It was undoubtedly the figures of Seolwon and Chaeha. A drawing that could be perfectly titled ‘Couple’ or ‘Parents.’ Jeyun, feeling a bit awkward about Wooju drawing such a picture with a worried expression, quickly crouched down and sat next to her.
“Wooju, is there something on your mind?”
“Yeah~.”
Wooju, looking gloomy, dropped the wooden stick she was holding and shook her head.
Then, she lifted her face again and stared intently at Jeyun.
“Daddy Jeyun, will you take Wooju and Mom to the island?”
“What?”
Caught off guard by the sudden question, Jeyun’s words got stuck in her throat. Maybe becoming even more curious while seeing Jeyun’s surprise, Wooju continued speaking.
“Now Wooju has Daddy Dae-wang too. But if Wooju goes back to the island, can’t Wooju meet Daddy Dae-wang anymore?”
“Ah, that’s…”
“Friends all live with their moms and dads in the same house. Since Wooju came here, she’s living with Mom and Daddy Dae-wang… So, if Daddy Dae-wang becomes Wooju’s dad, wouldn’t that be fine?”
Although it was an extremely innocent question, Jeyun couldn’t respond. It seemed like this child, with her pure curiosity, naturally began to question the concept of ‘dad.’
During the time Wooju spent here over the summer, the environment she encountered was probably what a regular family should have been like for her.
Unable to answer, Jeyun couldn’t help but feel the child was beginning to question the concept of ‘dad.’
Failing to get a response from Jeyun, Wooju kept babbling as if seeking affirmation.
It was all a question filled with the pure desire of the child.
