Jo Sung-hyun chuckled and opened his arms to Chaeyoon.
"I won't fall. Don't worry, Chaeyoon."
He couldn't say that he was very good at riding a bike, but he wasn't bad at it either.
He couldn't do any bike tricks, but he wasn't going to fall while riding.
Jo Sung-hyun seated Chaeyoon first.
There was a child seat attached, so it wasn't that hard to carry Chaeyoon.
After putting on the seat belt, he looked at Youngjoon and saw that he was waiting for his dad to ride.
"How should we go?"
"I don't know the course, so you can go first and I'll follow."
Jo Sung-hyun answered to Yu Jae-kyun's words.
It was his first time riding a bike at the Han River, so he thought it would be easier to just follow.
Yu Jae-kyun nodded his head and started.
Jo Sung-hyun followed him soon.
"Wow!"
Chaeyoon shouted in excitement from behind.
Hearing the child's voice, Jo Sung-hyun smiled and pedaled.
The bike went smoothly.
Chaeyoon wasn't heavy, and Jo Sung-hyun's stamina wasn't bad either.
He had a very active job compared to ordinary office workers.
He had to walk a lot, and sometimes he had to run in some situations, so he had to have a little more stamina than just sitting and working.
So, Jo Sung-hyun was fine even when Yu Jae-kyun was a bit tired.
"Should we settle here?"
Yu Jae-kyun looked back and said, and Jo Sung-hyun gave him an okay sign with his hand.
On the wide lawn, Youngjoon's mother, Jung Mi-won, had laid out a mat.
The large mat was enough for five people to sit on.
When he looked at the clock, it was already an hour past.
The kids didn't pedal, but they were a little tired, so it was a perfect time to take a break.
Jo Sung-hyun and Yu Jae-kyun parked their bikes while Jung Mi-won set up the mat, and they helped the kids get off the bikes.
Chaeyoon giggled and hugged Jo Sung-hyun.
It seemed like she enjoyed his first bike ride.
"Was it fun?"
"Yes!"
"After we have snacks, let's ride again later."
"Chaeyoon likes bikes!"
The child replied with a smile.
They sat together on the mat and started to share the snacks.
The snacks Jung Mi-won brought were rice cakes.
Thanks to her, they could eat rice cakes after a long time.
Actually, they didn't have many chances to eat rice cakes these days.
Chaeyoon was the same.
Jo Sung-hyun didn't buy it, and it wasn't Chaeyoon's character to buy rice cakes separately, so he didn't have a chance to try them.
Chaeyoon blinked while watching Jo Sung-hyun eating rice cakes.
"Chaeyoon, what is it?"
Jo Sung-hyun finally asked when he saw the child looking at him.
Chaeyoon briefly looked at Jung Mi-won and then opened her mouth softly.
"...It's delicious?"
"Yes, it's delicious. Chaeyoon, try it too."
He cut a small piece and handed it to Chaeyoon, who finally started eating the rice cake with a relieved look on her face.
After putting a small piece of rice cake the size of her thumb into her mouth and chewing, Chaeyoon's eyes widened.
"Is it tasty?"
"So yummy!"
After saying that, Chaeyoon took a sip of yogurt.
Jo Sung-hyun cut another piece of rice cake similar in size and handed it to Chaeyoon again.
"Ah~"
Chaeyoon took the rice cake offered by Jo Sung-hyun and ate it.
The child playfully even lightly bit Jo Sung-hyun's finger.
Laughing heartily, Chaeyoon enjoyed eating the rice cake.
"What do you do, Mr. Sung-hyun? I heard from Youngjoon that Chaeyoon appeared in a music video somewhere..."
While watching the kids play on the grass after finishing their snacks, Yu Jae-kyun asked.
Jo Sung-hyun scratched his cheek.
It felt a little strange when he received a question about what kind of work he did just two days after resigning.
"I used to work as a manager. At a place called Pan Entertainment."
"Ah, I know. It's the company where Seo Yena is affiliated."
"Yes, that's right. I wasn't in charge of Seo Yena... I was in charge of Yumi. The music video that Chaeyoon appeared in was also Yumi's music video."
"Wow..."
Jung Mi-won exclaimed in amazement.
Jo Sung-hyun, awkwardly smiling, continued to talk.
"But, I quit the company on Friday."
"Huh...?"
Neither Jung Mi-won nor Yu Jae-kyun expected that, and they looked a bit flustered.
Quitting a company was usually not a good thing.
Especially at Jo Sung-hyun's age.
"It must have been hard for you. You did well."
"Well, I liked my job, but I couldn't take care of Chaeyoon much. One day, I decided to quit because I wanted to spend more time with her and take care of her more."
"Wow, that's cool. I want to quit too. Really..."
Yu Jae-kyun shook his head and said.
He always wanted to quit, but he couldn't because it would be too hard afterwards.
Many office workers were like that, they had to keep working even though they didn't want to.
"What do you do, Mr. Jae-kyun?"
"I'm just a teacher. At a school."
"A teacher?"
"Yes. I like teaching kids."
"What do you teach mainly? Korean, English, math, something like that?"
"Not that... I used to play string instruments. So I teach that to kids. At an art school. Violin."
Yu Jae-kyun explained with a smile.
And Jo Sung-hyun.
As soon as he heard his words, his eyes lit up.
Maybe he could hear something that would help Chaeyoon.
So he tried to ask various questions that came to his mind.
"Kyaa!"
Suddenly, he heard Chaeyoon's scream from somewhere.
