As he worked at the company, Jo Sung-hyun couldn't concentrate properly.
He had already lost interest in the company, and it was also because of what happened yesterday.
When he went to the market.
'Chae-yoon is not friends with everyone!'
She had said that.
He felt his heart sink when he heard that, and he was still anxious.
He hoped it wouldn't happen, but he wondered if Chae-yoon was being bullied at kindergarten.
What did it mean to say that she was not friends with everyone?
Jo Sung-hyun eventually sighed.
Then, his colleague who was sitting next to him glanced at him.
"Sung-hyun, what's wrong with you today? You look worried."
"Ah, no. It's nothing... I'm just worried about my daughter."
"Huh?"
When Jo Sung-hyun said that, his colleague was surprised and widened his eyes.
He was flustered by that reaction.
He didn't say anything strange, so why was he so shocked?
"Sung-hyun, you had a daughter?"
"Yes? Ah, yes."
"How old is she?"
"She's 7 years old."
"Wow... I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"No, it's okay. I don't think I ever told you."
Jo Sung-hyun shook his head and answered.
But he gave a bitter smile.
Even his colleague who worked right next to him didn't know, which meant that he was too focused on his work.
It also meant that he didn't pay enough attention to his daughter.
"So, what's wrong with your daughter?"
"At kindergarten... I wonder if she's being bullied. Yesterday, when we went to the market together, she said she wasn't friends with the kids at kindergarten."
"Oh... I heard that bullying happens even at kindergarten these days, but it'll be okay. If she's your daughter."
"...Do you think so?"
"Hey, Sung-hyun, you're handsome. They say daughters look like their fathers. If she looks like you, she must be really cute. How can such a kid be bullied?"
As if to tell him not to worry too much, his colleague patted Jo Sung-hyun's shoulder.
He quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, Sung-hyun. Do you remember that... We have Raon, right?"
"Yes. What about Raon?"
"I was wondering if you were really okay. You have to take care of Yumi and Raon."
"Raon is so nice, you know. I'm fine."
"Thank you. Really. Raon said he wanted to see Yumi so much that he sang a song...."
"Wow. You must be having a hard time."
The conversation ended like that.
Jo Sung-hyun, who had been still, eventually moved his mouse and searched for 'kindergarten bullying' on the portal window.
[Is there bullying in kindergarten? What should parents do?]
[It seems like my child is being bullied at kindergarten.]
[The bullying of children is becoming more serious. How can we stop it?]
[Children who are easy to be ostracized]
['I don't want to go to kindergarten!' Is my child being bullied?]
[Kang Esther was also bullied at kindergarten? 'I was ostracized because I was too ugly.' Confession.]
Jo Sung-hyun closed his eyes tightly as he looked at the posts on the internet.
Kindergarten bullying was more common than he thought, and he felt a strong sense of anxiety at the thought that Chae-yoon might be being bullied.
He eventually spent a long time searching for information about bullying, and had to deal with all the work that had piled up.
6 p.m.
Jo Sung-hyun was the first to get up and prepare to leave the office among all the people in the office.
"Team leader, I'll leave first."
"Okay. Go ahead."
Park Jung-won waved his hand and answered.
He still had work to do, and he didn't take his eyes off the monitor.
