Chae Yoon's misunderstanding was quickly resolved.
Jo Sung Hyun quickly explained to the child that his eyes were fine again, and Chae Yoon only cleared her misunderstanding after checking two or three times by holding out her fingers.
There was a commotion like that, and when they returned home, Chae Yoon showed a more excited expression than usual.
Of course, she always smiled and looked happy when she was with Jo Sung Hyun, but... now it was a little different.
"Hehe."
She would laugh like this without any reason.
"Chae Yoon likes daddy!"
She would hug Jo Sung Hyun and say she liked him out of the blue.
It was clear that her reaction was a bit different from usual.
Jo Sung Hyun just found it cute and nice, but he was also worried that Chae Yoon might be expecting too much.
What if the concert was less than Chae Yoon's expectations? He wondered.
Should he have chosen a more famous and skilled pianist's concert instead?
Those thoughts crossed his mind and passed by.
But those worries soon disappeared.
Chae Yoon started to play the piano and have fun, and Jo Sung Hyun always smiled contentedly when he saw the child like that.
The song Chae Yoon played was not 'Do you want to play with the fallen leaves?'
It was not a song that existed in the world.
It was just a performance where Chae Yoon expressed her emotions by making sounds.
The child, who had been playing the piano for a long time and expressing her joy, suddenly became curious or bored.
She stared at Jo Sung Hyun and opened his mouth.
"Daddy."
"Yes, Chae Yoon."
Jo Sung Hyun, who was looking at his smartphone, immediately moved his gaze to Chae Yoon when he heard his voice.
"When is the concert?"
"It's tomorrow evening, so... maybe we can leave around 4 o'clock tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow...? Can't we go today?"
Chae Yoon asked cautiously.
Jo Sung Hyun smiled slightly.
Chae Yoon always used honorifics when she had something to ask or when she was in a delicate situation.
She often used honorifics in general, but she always used them when she had to talk about something that seemed difficult.
It was somehow cute and amusing.
"We can't go today. I booked the concert for tomorrow."
"Do we have to sleep one night then?"
"Yes. If we sleep one night, it will be tomorrow, so we just have to wait a little longer, right?"
Jo Sung Hyun answered in a calm voice.
Chae Yoon, who was sitting on the piano chair and thinking about something, suddenly got off the chair with a thud.
The child ran into her room and quickly changed into her pajamas.
"Chae Yoon, are you going to sleep?"
"Yes!"
Chae Yoon, who answered loudly, went into the bedroom without even properly wearing her pajamas.
Jo Sung Hyun, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, turned his head and looked at the bedroom.
Chae Yoon, who went into the bedroom, climbed up the bed and burrowed into the blanket.
Only then, Jo Sung Hyun could understand what the child was thinking.
He got up from the sofa and approached the child, who had her eyes tightly closed.
He swallowed the laughter that was about to leak out and opened his mouth.
"Chae Yoon, what are you doing?"
"Shh. I have to sleep fast!"
The child said, bringing her finger to her mouth.
Looking at Chae Yoon, Jo Sung Hyun finally laughed out loud.
He went to the child and carefully hugged her.
"Chae Yoon has to sleep fast..."
She said as if she was asking why he woke her up.
Jo Sung Hyun stroked Chae Yoon's head once and headed to the bathroom with the child in his arms.
"You have to wash up before you sleep, right?"
"Hmm... Can't I wash up after I sleep one night?"
Chae Yoon said as if she didn't like it, but Jo Sung Hyun shook his head.
"No, you have to wash up so that bad cavities won't grow in Chae Yoon's mouth."
"Huh...?"
"If you don't wash up, bad germs will eat Chae Yoon up, right?"
At that, Chae Yoon looked at Jo Sung Hyun as if she was telling him not to joke.
"Chae Yoon is not afraid of bad germs."
She said confidently as if hse could win.
Seeing Chae Yoon, Jo Sung Hyun smiled brightly.
"I'm scared. What should I do?"
"Daddy is a coward!"
Chae Yoon said, laughing and teasing Jo Sung Hyun as if she was having fun.
Jo Sung Hyun nodded his head.
"That's right. Daddy is a coward. So I think I can sleep only if Chae Yoon washes up quickly and gets rid of the bad germs. Can Chae Yoon protect daddy?"
"Chae Yoon can protect very well!"
Chae Yoon nodded her head with a confident face, as if sshe could protect him for sure.
The child took the toothbrush that Jo Sung Hyun offered and started to brush her teeth diligently.
And so, that day was passing by.
