“Is that so? It’s a shame. It was just fluttering when you were waving and smiling so prettily.”
“Um…”
Taken aback by his unexpected comment, Seol Won licked her lips.
It was difficult to adjust to a person who had never been like this before now pouring out such words every day.
It was too late to argue that he hadn’t been like this before.
Watching her carefully, Chae Ha teased her with a tone full of laughter.
“Ms. Min Seol Won seems to be at a loss for words again. Well, it’s true that you’re prettier than any flower here. Isn’t that right, kiddo? Isn’t mommy the prettiest?”
“Yes! My mom is the prettiest in the world!”
With a look of Itoldyouso, Chae Ha threw a triumphant gaze at Seol Won.
It was unfair to exploit one’s innocence like that.
“I…I’ll go now!”
As Seol Won hastily left, covering her blushing cheeks with her hands, the sound of Chae Ha’s laughter echoed from behind.
He said she was pretty so casually, it made her heart pound wildly.
It seemed that the one who was more flustered was Seol Won herself.
Chae Ha, who had been watching her until she disappeared from sight, then affectionately looked at the universe in his arms.
“Now, kiddo. Shall we go see the flowers, too?”
“Yes! I love space flowers!”
To soothe his regret, Chae Ha pressed a kiss to the glowing cheek of the universe.
The soft sensation was so pure and innocent it was touching.
His child, as lovely as Seol Won.
To be able to spend the weekend with two individuals more beautiful than flowers, that was what happiness must be.
Blaming himself for not realizing this happiness earlier, he too began to slowly move.
The venue was extremely spacious.
Typically, flower festivals are mainly held in the spring, but this coastal city attempted to attract summer vacationers by opening in the summer this time.
The giant sculptures adorned with various flowers captivated the children’s attention at once.
Of course, what captured Chae Ha’s attention the most was the sight of the universe running around with a bright smile.
“Wow! There’s a really, really big dinosaur here!”
“That’s amazing~ This flower is blue!”
Without tiring, the universe looked around every corner with curious eyes.
Just in case they missed anything, Chae Ha busily took pictures with his phone.
The day his phone gallery was filled with pictures of the child was so surprising even to him.
He splashed water at the fountain, rode the children’s train, bought hot dogs, and before he knew it, time had flown by.
Looking down at the universe munching on a sausage, his lips instinctively loosened.
“Shall we go see mommy now?”
“Yes! Mommy will also give me a hot dog.”
“My little one, you’re such a dutiful son.”
Chae Ha smiled and wiped the ketchup smeared around the universe’s mouth.
Holding onto the small hand tightly, Chae Ha headed towards where Seol Won was working.
Knowing that she probably didn’t even have a proper lunch, he brought along the lunchbox he had packed secretly in the morning.
Fortunately, the destination was not too far from where they were.
In the innermost part of the spacious festival grounds, right against the mountain range, was the central garden.
“Huh? There’s mommy!”
Woojoo abruptly pointed at a spot with his little finger.
Inside an area cordoned off by a simple fence, she was bustling about.
Chae Ha stopped Woojoo who was about to rush to his mother in joy.
“Shhh, shall we watch Mom work for a bit?”
“Yes! Big Daddy. Hush!”
Chae Ha placed his finger on his lips, and Woojoo adorably copied his action.
Thanks to this, Chae Ha could observe Seol Won’s figure from a little distance.
Even though they had managed to bring her home after reuniting for the first time in 5 years, a faint anxiety always shaded Seol Won’s expression.
It was obvious that a huge wound was embedded in her.
Her charming eyes seemed blurred with tears, different from before, which made Chae Ha’s heart ache.
Yet, the eyes of Seol Won who was diligently inspecting flowers in front of him were the same as before.
The eyes that used to gaze at me directly, filled with pride.
The resolute eyes of Min Seol Won, which he could never forget over a long period of time.
Chae Ha, so in love that his heart filled up, unknowingly squeezed Woojoo’s hand tightly.
Then, interestingly, Woojoo looked up at him, wrapping his little hands around his large one.
“…….”
Chae Ha momentarily had the wind knocked out of him.
In front of him, the beautiful eyes so much like her mother’s shone like stars.
He really felt like he could do anything for these two.
He felt like he could even give up his life if needed.
It was then.
A sharp voice broke the loving atmosphere between father and son.
“Well, well, who do we have here? Isn’t it Miss Min Seol Won?”
“….Senior?”
“Senior? When have you ever treated me as such?”
“Oh my. It’s been years, Min Young Unni. We were wrongly accused and fired from Laura and James because of her!”
“Indeed. They say you meet your enemy on a narrow path, and here I am seeing all of you.”
The three people surrounding Seol Won were familiar faces to Chae Ha.
They were the protagonists who had pushed all their work onto Seol Won and backstabbed her on the first day he met her, eventually causing trouble for her.
Not only that, they were also the ones who had wrongfully accused Seol Won of damaging the silver bell flowers.
Even with the passage of time, they seemed unchanged, especially in their character.
From the looks of the flower pots and shovels they were carrying, they seemed to have come for work as well.
Soon enough, the woman named Min Young, with a spiteful face, picked a fight.
Her face carried all the malice in the world.
“I hear you married into a chaebol family?”
“…….”
“You used to flirt with the owner, and now you’ve switched to a man with more money? Selling your body……”
Suddenly, there was a loud crash, causing a racket around the three women.
The fragments of a flower pot that had suddenly flown and shattered next to them startled the group, causing them to scream.
However, that scream quickly retreated at the cutting edge of Chae Ha’s voice.
“Watch your mouth.”
“….!”
Not just flower pots, but with a momentum as if he’d throw them next, Chae Ha immediately unleashed his rough anger.
“Garbage that couldn’t be recycled, whether then or now.”

He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
