Quickly wiping away the tears, Taekyung raised his head and smiled widely. Minjun, who hadn’t wiped away Taekyung’s tears yet, did so with his small hands.
“Dad, don’t cry.”
“Sure. Dad is just too happy.”
Even though he knew he had a son, he couldn’t call him “son” for the past five years. It was too regrettable to have missed the cute time of this lovely child.
Not knowing it was his own child and thinking it was someone else’s child.
He felt pathetic.
Minjun hugged Taekyung. Even though his small body couldn’t fully embrace the large one, Taekyung liked Minjun’s embrace so much that he wished time would stop.
“Dad, thank you for coming to save Mom and me.”
“If Minjun is ever in danger, Dad will come to save you anytime.”
“Wow. Like Superman?”
“Of course! Dad can do anything! Want to see? Dad’s magic?”
Minjun’s words filled Taekyung with pride.
“Look at Dad’s magic!”
Taekyung rolled up the patient gown sleeve and flexed his non-IV arm, showing the bulging biceps that made Minjun’s eyes widen.
“Can I touch it?”
“Sure. Want to hang on it?”
“Um. No. Since Dad is still a patient, I’ll just touch it.”
Minjun tensed up, pressing his index finger against Taekyung’s arm.
Then, with a surprised look, he stared at Taekyung’s face.
“It feels like a rock!”
“Really? Dad is cool, right?”
“Yes!”
“Because Dad is sturdy and strong, Dad will always protect our Minjun.”
Minjun responded by embracing Taekyung again.
Taekyung, cautious not to hurt the small child but embracing him firmly, vowed silently not to part ways again.
Never miss seeing you grow up.
I’ll make sure you don’t remember the things you experienced without Dad.
I’ll do everything I couldn’t do over a lifetime, several times over.
You’ll become a wonderful adult who can proudly say, “My dad.”
Minjun, who changed my world.
I love you. Dad truly loves you.
Watching Taekyung and Minjun from a distance, Seoha turned her head and wiped her eyes with her sleeves.
At that moment, Hyunyoung also found the hospital room.
“Seoha.”
“Mother. You came?”
“Yes. How are Minjun and Taekyung?”
When Hyunyoung asked Seoha with a slightly tense expression, Seoha pointed to the bed.
Smiling brightly while hugging each other, both Minjun and Taekyung, Hyunyoung also shed tears.
“It’s fortunate. Minjun is indeed a generous child. To embrace his father like that. He’ll grow up well. He’s praised for being very smart even at kindergarten.”
At Hyunyoung’s happily spoken words, Seoha smiled brightly.
Seoha was grateful that her child received such great love.
Hyunyoung had become a grandchild fool.
Every little thing about Minjun was so lovely and pretty that she didn’t know what to do.
Minjun received love abundantly. He was thankful even for small things and knew how to express his gratitude.
“Seoha, you raised Minjun so well. I didn’t know how well he speaks. His expressive abilities are good, too. Seems like he takes after you. Thank you. It must have been difficult, but you raised Minjun well. You’re truly amazing.”
“Thank you. I’ve learned a lot from Minjun. It seems like Minjun coming to me is a gift from God.”
Hyunyoung held Seoha’s hand tightly. Both of them watched over Taekyung and Minjun.
Seeing Hyunyoung, Minjun jumped off Taekyung’s lap and ran to Hyunyoung.
“Grandma!”
“Oh my, our puppy. Have you been good?”
“Yes! Today is a day off from kindergarten, so I came to see Dad at the hospital with Dad. Did Grandma see Dad’s magic? He’s really tough like a rock!”
“Haha. Is that so? Did you not want to see Grandma?”
“Of course, I wanted to see Grandma too!”
Minjun grabbed Grandma’s leg and smiled brightly.
Minjun’s laughter brightened up the hospital room. The sound of the child’s laughter was more sweet and sparkling than any music.
Minjun, holding Hyunyoung and Seoha’s hands, approached Taekyung.
“Dad! Grandma is here.”
“Is your body okay?”
“Yes. Mom. I’m fine. When I see Minjun, nothing hurts at all.”
At Taekyung’s words, Hyunyoung wore a contented smile. Unlike her husband, who terribly neglected his child and wife, Taekyung was commendable for taking good care of his child and his woman.
“Thank goodness he didn’t take after his father.”
Hyunyoung sighed with relief.
“If you want to play with Minjun, recover quickly and get discharged.”
“Yes. That’s right. There’s a lot to do with Minjun. We’re planning to go camping, skateboarding, and skiing.”
“Haha. Sure. Let’s do it all. We should do everything Minjun wants.”
Hyunyoung patted Minjun’s head.
The long winter was coming to an end, and spring was approaching.
Yuna, seeing Cheolwook leaving, quickly came down. Cheolwook’s study was off-limits to just anyone.
Cheolwook always kept the door locked, and the only person who could enter his study was the cleaning lady. Even that was only during specific hours.
Coincidentally, the cleaning lady was opening Cheolwook’s study door for cleaning.
“Ahjumma!”
“Yes, miss.”
“Are you going in to clean now?”
“Oh. Yes.”
“I’ll help too.”
Suddenly offering to help clean Cheolwook’s study, the cleaning lady chuckled.
Is what I heard and understood correct?
“You’re helping with the cleaning?”
“Yes. I want to score some points with Father.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to offer a massage when the doctor is here?”
Due to the cleaning lady, who didn’t smoothly go along, Yuna felt a pang of annoyance.
However, she quickly responded with an awkward smile.
“Oh, I can do massage and cleaning. I have to try everything I can.”
“Well, it’s okay if you say so.”
“Anyway, let’s go in together.”
How can someone claim to help with cleaning without cleaning tools? With a perplexed expression, the cleaning lady entered Cheolwook’s study. Yuna followed along with a meaningful expression.
