Single dad Jeon Jungkook falls for a kindergarten teacher.

17

-It's been so long that you might not remember the previous part-

-I recommend you come here on a regular basis!-

At that time, the female protagonist seemed to have been in pain for three days. With no one around to take care of her, she was locked in a dark room, taking medicine and lying down, crying out loud because she was so sad.

You're going to cry so much that your vision is blurry, and even in that state, you're going to get angry at yourself for thinking about Jeongguk.

At that moment, Jungkook helped Jungmin get dressed and went out. On the way, he said he was sick, so he was worried about buying some porridge, but in the end, he ended up buying a bundle of vitamin juice...

I arrived by car, held a vitamin juice in one hand, and held Jeongmin in the other, and stood in front of Yeoju's house. I had to ring the doorbell, but after ringing it, I was wondering what to say when Jeongmin suddenly rang the bell and spoke.

전정민

Sunsan! Jjangmini is here! Sunsan!

But the door wouldn't open, so Jeongmin rang the door ding dong ding dong ding dong. Jeongguk got scared.

전정국

Why, why are you like that, Jeongmin!

But the door will open with a beeping sound at that loud noise. I'll make a magpie's nest and open the door with my eyes barely open, and with a squeaky voice

김여주

who are you...

Jungkook was flustered and dumbfounded when he saw the female lead, but Jungmin was so happy to see the female lead after three days.

전정민

Sunsan!

I will do it. Then the female protagonist will be confused.

김여주

huh...?

Then, he suddenly opens his eyes and checks to see who is in front of his house. Then, he will see Jungkook standing awkwardly while Jungmin is holding him and Jungmin struggling because he wants to go to Yeoju quickly.

After a moment of silence, the female lead closed the door and went in. Haha. The government was dumbfounded, but after a while, the female lead came out again with a loud noise.

While pressing the magpie's head, he would change from his stuffy pajamas into something else, and open the door with a very embarrassed expression. When Jeongmin struggled and reached out to Yeoju, Yeoju would naturally accept him and hug him.

But it seems like things aren't going well for Yeoju, who usually can easily lift Jeongmin, to start to sway. Then Jeongguk quickly grabs Yeoju's shoulder, and she flinches and avoids him. Feeling that, Jeongguk freezes.

Jeongmin is hanging on Yeoju's neck because he likes her. Something complicated and subtle is unfolding. Yeoju Jeongguk speaks without even looking at her.

김여주

What brings you here, Father?

Then, Jungkook, look at the female protagonist who is dazedly wandering around and say,

전정국

...Jeongmin really wanted to see the teacher.

Then, look at the face of Yeoju Jeongmin and speak affectionately.

김여주

Did you miss Teacher Jeongmin a lot? Your face is red? Did you cry?

When the female protagonist tells Jeongmin to speak again, he nods in tears and hugs her again. After patting the baby like that, she tells him to come in first since she can't leave him outside with Jeongguk anymore.

Jungkook goes in hesitantly, but the curtains are all drawn and clothes are hanging out.

Medicine was spilled on the living room table, water bottles were in disarray, and the basin filled with wet towels was crumpled. "You must have been really sick," she said, her expression slightly distorted in worry for Jungkook, but the female protagonist saw it again.

김여주

Sorry, the house is a bit messy..

If you do that, it's not Jungkook, and he'll put down the vitamin juice package first and naturally put away the medicine bag first. When the female lead panics and tells Jungmin not to do that and tries to pull him away, Jungmin kicks and clings to him tightly, not wanting to be separated.

Then, the heroine had no choice but to fidget while holding Jeongmin. Meanwhile, Jeongguk, who is secretly quick and neat, cleans up the living room. The heroine blankly watches him, then suddenly opens the living room curtains in surprise.

Just then, seeing Yeoju's slimmer figure clearly, a corner of me, Jeongguk, secretly felt a pang of sadness. Then, seeing Yeoju looking like she was having a hard time being held by Jeongmin, Jeongmin quickly handed her over and hugged her, and Yeoju would take the vitamin juice Jeongguk brought and pour it into a glass and bring it to him.

When Jungkook sits cross-legged at the table, Jungmin wriggles out and then slides into the lap of the woman sitting across from him. Then the woman smiles brightly and hugs him tightly.

After holding him in silence for a while, Jeongmin, who hadn't even napped and was crying a lot, fell asleep on Yeoju's lap. Jeongmin was still a baby, so he licked her thumb as he fell asleep... (heart attack)

After staring at it blankly, Jeongguk speaks in a quiet voice.

전정국

Were you in a lot of pain?

The female protagonist stops patting her hand. Jungkook still isn't looking.

김여주

A little bit,

I guess that's what happens. Then Jungkook

전정국

..sorry

I'll do it. I think Yeoju will cry when she hears that. So if you ask her what she's sorry about, Jeongguk will probably stay silent.

Yeoju, only then did Jeongguk look at her face

김여주

(sobs) I'm not sick because of my father, I just happened to catch a cold the next day.

As she spoke, slightly sobbing, Jeongguk panicked. The female lead said she was holding it in, but her face was filled with tears as if she would burst out at any moment.

Seeing that sight again, Jungkook's heart aches. Now that Jungkook has come, Yeoju, in despair, pours out her feelings. She covers her ears with her hands, afraid that Jungmin might wake up, and continues on.

김여주

It's funny to say this in this situation, but it's true that I thought of my father as more than a parent.

김여주

But that's all

김여주

The only time I showed my feelings was when I was drunk.

김여주

I'm not saying that I'm hoping for a change in our relationship, it was just a mistake... Just... forget it, I'll forget it too.

김여주

Originally, I had a mind to organize things gradually.

The female protagonist seems to be pouring out her thoughts to Jeongguk as she speaks. Jeongguk just listens without responding.

김여주

(biting her lower lip) I'm the one who should be sorry... I'm sorry. Please forget about it.

The heroine doing it. Eventually, tears will fall. And silence. Watching the heroine, who is silent and sniffling, and Jeongmin pats her even harder, Jeongguk barely manages to open his mouth.

전정국

...Would you please listen to my story too?
