I Become a Doting Father chapter 111
Expectations.
On the way to the meeting place with Woo-young, Seo Ji-hye called.
I usually get minor calls, but it wasn’t this phone call.
It was nothing but a contact about the study materials.
“Excuse me… Oppa.” “Yes, Jihye.” “Can I ask how far the work is going?”
Of course, it’s a question that I can ask, but I felt sorry for him.
Basically, Seo Ji-hye is the producer, and I am in a position hired for painting.
In fact, this was a matter of course for her to ask me.
The scheduled publication date is approaching, and I have never delivered the progress of the work to Seo Ji-hye separately.
Of course.’
It wasn’t that I didn’t deliver it on purpose.
C. I had my own thoughts.
I thought it would be neat to deliver the finished product within a fixed period of time rather than to bother them.
However, when I think about it now, I think I lacked a little consideration.
As the deadline approached, there might have been anxiety that I would not be able to complete the painting.
It’s true that I didn’t have enough time to draw everything by myself.
Since Seo Jihye knows how much she works, she might have felt more anxious.
It’s late, but make me feel safe now.
I needed to give it to you.
“You don’t have to worry.”
Seo Ji-hye asked in a strange voice at my words.
“What?” “I was about to contact Jihye soon.”
“Huh? What kind of contact…” “About the progress of the work I just talked about. “It’ll probably be over by today.” “Really?”
“Ha ha, of course it’s true.” “Why would I lie like this?”
After a brief silence, Seo Ji-hye’s emotional voice came.
“I knew it…” “What?” “I knew it!”
He must be nervous by himself.
It was a voice with a different level of tension than the initial question.
I started to be playful.
He murmured slylyly.
“Hmm… I don’t think so…” “What?” “When I first asked, my voice trembled a lot. “Didn’t you not believe it at all?”
At my playful words, she replied in a bewildered voice.
“No, it’s not!” “I believed you because you’re older than me…”
“I believed you”.
After a brief silence, she talked as if giving up.
“Honestly, I was a little nervous. I knew how much I had to draw.
Even if I said this, I didn’t think I was a little anxious. | This is what I expected, but I didn’t even ask because I thought it would be a rush. | If I knew this would happen, I would have opened it earlier.
I’m telling you after I lock it.
I’m not playful and I have a low voice.
I said Ri.
“I’m sorry.” “What?” “I should’ve told you first. “I didn’t think about it.”
It was better to apologize even if it was late.
Fortunately, Seo Ji-hye replied coolly with a smile.
“Kkkk, no, it’s not. “I didn’t ask you.”
“Oh, that’s true”.
“What?” “HaHa, I’m kidding. Kidding.” “Wow, you’re so mischievous…”
While exchanging such light jokes, Seo Ji-hye continued.
“But… Wasn’t it hard?” “What?” “There were a lot. The amount of work.” “Oh, that’s true.”
I didn’t tell her about the progress, but I didn’t tell her anything.
*
The fact that he decided to work with Woo-young was immediately told at the time.
“Because I was the one Seo Jihye asked for.”
In other words, it meant that I was the only one she trusted and entrusted with painting.
All
Therefore, if I had found someone to collaborate personally, I was obligated to inform them of the fact.
Actually, I talked about Woo Young right away.
“Jihye said it was okay right away.”
L
As a result, the work was almost completed through collaboration with Woo-young.
I briefly explained the process to Jihye.
“…. So, Woo Young was of great help. “It would have been really tight if I were alone.”
“I see. Then, you’re a very grateful friend”.
“Right.” “Hehe…”
Huh? This isn’t Seo Jihye’s laughing voice. A smiling voice came into my ears from somewhere.
Looking sideways, Yeondoo had a bright smile. I quickly figured out the meaning of that smile.
“You’re proud.”
He seems to be proud of the phone call praising Woo-young.
Well, if it weren’t for Yeondoo, I wouldn’t have worked with Woo-young.
In fact, it was safe to say that Yeondoo holds most of Woo-young’s stake in assistance.
By the way, seeing Yeondoo smiling makes me feel better.
I lightly stroked Yeondoo’s head walking with one hand.
Meanwhile, Seo Ji-hye was talking alone without knowing anything.
“Oppa, when we publish our study materials, Let’s have an after party together!”
“After party?” “Yes, my club members and my brother
Yeondoo, and Woo Young, too!
Well, it was possible enough after the study paper was successfully published.
Even if the parts they are in charge of are different from each other, they are colleagues who participated in the production of the same study journal.
It felt so heartless not to see my face once. I wonder if Woo-young will go to an after-party or something.
I answered with a smile.
“Good.”
Now I think we talked about everything we needed.
I was about to hang up, but I suddenly had a question.
I brought up the story that I had in mind right away.
All
“But aren’t you curious, Jihye?” “What?” “How did it go?” I think I didn’t ask the most important thing.”
I realized it now. She didn’t ask about the quality of the painting.
In fact, in terms of importance, it was as important as it could be closed.
“If it were me, I would have been very curious.”
It was a long call, but I didn’t mention it once.
Amid such curiosity, Seo Ji-hye’s answer came.
“I know what it’ll be like.”
“What?”
“I’ve never doubted the quality. From the beginning to the end.”
I smiled at the unexpected answer.
I didn’t expect this, but I didn’t ask.
You’re right.
The same was true when I first entrusted my painting.
Seo Ji-hye was surprisingly trusted even though she had no experience.
Originally, I didn’t like to talk before I made the results.
Whether the results are good or bad, it’s because I think there’s nothing good about raising expectations.
But now I was going to act a little differently. in this fashion
“You can look forward to it.”
No matter how high Seo Ji-hye set expectations, it didn’t matter.
I was confident in producing higher results than that.
Soon after, I arrived at the appointment place. The place where I arrived was none other than Woo-young’s house.
In fact, at first, I didn’t think I would go to Woo-young’s house like this.
We just promised to meet and finish the work together.
As time passed, I had a problem making an appointment.
There’s no suitable place.
The cafe I met last time could not even be considered.
It’s burdensome to have a lot of people, but Gyeul.
It was a place where I couldn’t draw in silence.
Therefore, I had to think of another suitable place.
I thought about it for a while, but it was a small studio for me to draw alone.
It was frustrating just to have three people in the house, so I almost couldn’t last long.
Next, the place Woo-young suggested was the school art room. Their school keeps the art room open even during the vacation.
And.
Of course, I refused right away.
“Because I’m an outsider.”
Just because it is open does not mean that outsiders can use it.
I didn’t want to risk being reported for nothing.
So, the final place that was decided was Woo-young’
Actually, I refused this at first, too.
It might be a nuisance, so I couldn’t say yes.
But I got permission from my mom.
I eventually said okay to Woo-young’s words.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no place as good as home.
“Yeondoo.” “Yes.” “What should I do when I meet Woo Young’s mom?”
Yeondoo replied with a big smile.
“It’s a funny bow…” “Ha ha, okay.”
In fact, it was unnecessary early education.
Even if I don’t say this, I know Yeondoo will greet politely.
Meanwhile, the elevator reached the 7th floor.
“Whoo…”
When I arrived at the door, I was a little nervous.
I took a deep breath and pressed the bell on the front door.
Ding dong.
Soon after, the door opened.
It was none other than Sunwoo Young who opened the door.
“Are you here?” “Yes. It’s been a while.”
I kept exchanging works, but it’s been a while since I saw my face.
Apparently, nothing seems to be different from before.
Sun Woo-young then greeted Yeondoo.
“You followed me again today”. Peanuts.”
Like its appearance, the name for Yeondoo remained the same.
Unlike usual, when she was angry, Yeondoo smiled and muttered.
“Hehe. Yeondoo is no longer a peanut.”
For some reason, I knew what Yeondoo would say next.
Meanwhile, Sun Woo-young asked with a puzzled look.
“Huh? Why not?” “Yeondoo grew up!” It’s over 100 now!
As expected, it was the same remark I thought.
At Yeondoo’s words, Sun Woo-young burst into laughter and said.
“Who said that?” “If it’s over 100, it’s not peanuts.”
“Oh, they said it’s a huge number!” “I’m sorry, but in my standards, it’s a hundred-degree peanut.”
“Then… What’s your number, Woo Young?”
The number is… Master of Yeondoo.
I think I’m asking how tall you are.
Looking at his expression, it was clear that he asked because he was purely curious.
The problem is that Woo-young, the subject of the question, is speechless.
“I think it’s kind of a complex.
Yeondoo made an unintended attack.
As soon as Woo-young tried to answer something, a shadow cast over his back.
Then some hand hit Sunwoo-young’s back.
(Screams)
“Argh!”
It was a back smashing just by hearing the sound.
Sun Woo-young screamed and looked back.
“What? Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?”
It was none other than Woo-young’s mother who hit Woo-young on the back.
I’ve never talked about my face.
I remember seeing something.
When I volunteered to draw portraits at the zoo, Woo-young was drawing next to me.
She felt young for a mother with a high school student as a child.
She said to Woo-young, who looked at her with an unfair look.
“What do you mean by peanuts to such a pretty princess?” Peanuts!”
“No, I’m singing whatever I want, but why?” “Sigh… You’re not going to be quiet? I don’t know if I lose or grow. There’s not much difference with me.
While doing it.”
“Car, what do you mean there’s no difference?” What are you talking about?
At first glance, I could feel what kind of hat it was.
Well, when I saw them at the zoo, they had this kind of conversation.
Woo Young, who’s always being cheeky. And a mother’s conversation with her mother.
After punishing her son like that, she turned her head and looked at me.
“Hoho, welcome.” “It must be uncomfortable because the house is small…”
What is it? Suddenly, the tone became ridiculously sweet.
I couldn’t imagine the way I just spoke to Woo-young.
Perhaps that’s why. Woo-young was also looking at her mother with an absurd expression.
Well, what I had to do in this situation was to be greeted.
“No, thank you for allowing me to do this.”
“What do you mean?” I’m more thankful. I heard from Woo Young that your name is Lee Joo Won, right?
“Yes, that’s right.” “I’m Yoo Eunsook.”
After the announcement, I handed her a gift that I had prepared.
It was the same juice set as the gift I bought when I went to Grass Leaf Company.
I thought it was the most normal gift.
Even though it was a small gift, she thanked her several times.
And he said while looking at Yeondoo.
“Oh, my princess got prettier”.
As she said in the elevator, Yeondoo bowed her belly button.
“Hello, ma’am!” “How can you be so polite?”
Looking at his eyes, he seemed to love Yeondoo very much.
After a while, she guided us into the room.
“I think you can work here.”
“Thank you.”
“Hoho, then I’ll go out so that I don’t get in the way. If you need anything, please call me. Call him even if he’s messing with me.”
This guy was obviously referring to Woo-young.
After saying this, she closed the door and went out.
Sunwoo Young sighed and said.
“This is why I asked you to go to the art room.”
“Haha, I think your mom is a great person”.
It’s sour.
“And it’s quite violent.”
Looking at the table, it seemed that Woo-young had all the tools ready.
It is not too late to chat after finishing all the work. I think Woo Young is only thinking about drawing.
Cute Yeondoo was also holding crayons in her hands.
I smiled and opened my mouth.
“Shall we start right away?” “Yes, sure.”
Finally, it’s time to complete the study paper.
That’s right.
