I knew it instinctively when I heard the phone vibrate.

‘It’s my daughter’s phone call.’

I had a phone call with my daughter yesterday too.

To be exact, I got a call from my daughter.

It was around 9 o’clock at night.

[Dad, did anything special happen today?]

[Yes, did your daughter have a good day today?]

[of course. Whose daughter is this?]

Her voice seemed bright.

[Dad, but do I have to call you all the time?]

An attack disguised as a question.

Minah was complaining about why I didn’t call.

[Are you not worried about sending such a cute and pretty daughter away?]

Originally, Minah wasn’t the type of child to talk like this.

Even during puberty, he was a child who listened to me well… but I don’t know why he suddenly became so aggressive.

[I’m sorry that dad couldn’t pay attention to his daughter.]

[Then will your dad call you first tomorrow?]

[Yes, of course.]

…I decided to call my daughter first.

But…I completely forgot.

“Ah…Arin, wait a minute!”

“…Yes?”

But Arin was dumbfounded as she saw me with a stiff expression on my face and taking out my cell phone from the clothes I had hastily removed.

Just moments ago, we were hugging and checking each other’s feelings.

But Arin must have been embarrassed because my face suddenly changed color and I was looking for my phone in a hurry.

“Seo…Senior, why on earth…”

“Shhh!! Never while I’m on the phone!! You must never make a sound!”

Arin seemed a little taken aback for a moment by the strong tone of command.

“…Yes.”

But Arin seemed to trust me.

He obediently did as I asked.

never.

I should never have let anyone know that I was with Arin.

Because that’s what my daughter hates.

Buuung.

Buuung.

If you wait any longer, the call will be disconnected.

Then your daughter will become even more angry.

“Gulp.”

After swallowing dry saliva once, I pressed the call button.

“Uh…daughter…..”

I woke up and started pretending to be my half-asleep self.

[dad? Are you dad?]

“Uh…uhh…what time is it…?”

[Um…it’s past 9 o’clock.]

Fortunately, Mina’s voice was calm.

“Hmm…I’m sorry. When I said my dad was calling… I was sleepy… so I fell asleep.”

[Dad, what happened today?]

“There was a patient with the truth that we talked about at that time, right? You came again today and made a fuss…don’t even talk to me.”

It’s not a lie.

There are real people who come to the hospital and make a fuss, claiming that the stitches were wrong.

They make a fuss periodically, but the last time it happened was just a few days ago.

[Ah… him? Have you not given up yet?]

“You’re going to make me pay for ignoring you?”

[So what did Dad do? Did you call the police?]

“There’s no need to call the police for something like that.”

[What a scary world it is these days… Dad, don’t do that.]

The voice of a worried daughter.

I didn’t feel any doubt.

okay.

He completely deceived his daughter.

“I understand. I’ll definitely call the police next time, so don’t worry, my daughter.”

[Thank you, Dad. For listening to me.]

A soothing tone of voice.

“Okay, Dad, I’ll just go to sleep.”

[Aren’t you with a woman?]

“Uh…huh?”

My daughter’s sharp voice.

A sudden question.

“What are you talking about, my daughter? This is home.”

[…I’m sorry, Dad. I guess I was a little sensitive.]

My daughter immediately changed her tone of voice.

There was something very sharp about it.

In fact, it is worth it.

This is my first time going far away from me.

In addition, I met my classmates for the first time… my seniors… and the burden of having to get used to the new system.

It must have been a lot of stress.

“My daughter.”

[…huh.]

“You know that my daughter is the only father for me, right?”

[…huh.]

“Dad, I will do anything if my daughter can do well.”

[Thank you, Dad…]

Her voice softened noticeably.

“So, don’t worry and sleep. Got it?”

[huh……]

“Good night, my daughter.”

[Good night, Dad.]

The phone was disconnected.

“Phew……”

Only then did I feel relieved.

Arin gave me a little hug.

“Senior……”

“I’m sorry, Arin. My daughter… doesn’t like me being with other women.”

“Ahh…..”

She made a strange expression, as if she didn’t quite understand.

I guess I didn’t understand it when I thought about her biological father, but I understand when I think about me.

“Was it Minah…?”

“Yes. Come to think of it, I didn’t even talk about my daughter properly. I’m sorry……”

“It must have been a bit burdensome to talk to you since you were divorced and raised your daughter alone. I understand.”

They were both naked.

Her body was colder than before.

It was the same for me too.

“…Should I wash it first?”

“Yes…I think that would be a good idea.”

Things that were on fire.

They have cooled down a lot.

We had to move on to the next step, but we weren’t in a position to do that right now.

I was interrogated by my daughter.

Arin heard that.

It occurred to me that I was doing something bad without my daughter knowing.

I feel anxious that she won’t be accepted by my daughter.

So our sexual intercourse ended unfinished.

“Arin wash up first.”

“Senpai, wouldn’t it be better to wash first?”

“Arin’s body is cold…so use warm water first.”

She laughs softly.

Sigh.

And she lightly touched my cheek with her lips.

“…Thank you, senior.”

****

I took a shower and brushed my teeth.

And got dressed.

When I came out of the shower room, Arin was also sitting on the bed, wearing everyday clothes.

I went and sat next to her.

“I’m sorry……”

“No, senior. He knows better than anyone else that his daughter is important to him.”

“…Then we…”

“Shhh.”

She puts her index finger on my mouth.

“I know what my senior is going to say.”

“……”

“In the end, Mina… Are you trying to say that our relationship can’t continue if my senior’s daughter doesn’t accept me?”

It was 180 degrees different from Arin, who until recently used the power of alcohol to speak her inner thoughts.

“….Yes.”

I answered briefly.

Even if I talk for a long time, it will only be an excuse.

“So……”

“So in the end, what I have to do is win Mina’s heart.”

“Ah…..”

An unexpected answer.

“I will work hard. So that I can be recognized by my senior’s daughter.”

I smiled bitterly.

“Uh…what are you going to do?”

But looking at the current atmosphere, my daughter never wants me to have a girl.

It won’t be easy to convince them by any means.

“Hehe, that’s a secret.”

Arin smiled brightly.

It may also be to reassure me.

“…Thank you.”

Still, I was thankful for Arin.

What kind of big deal is your daughter?

I thought he was going to rush in and say he’s an adult now.

She understood my relationship with my daughter and respected my actions.

In the end, he agreed that if he wanted to date me… he had to improve his relationship with his daughter, who was a member of his family.

“I have never seen Minah, but I am confident. Because I’m your child… I’m sure he’ll like me just like you.”

I smiled bitterly.

Mina is not my flesh and blood.

Of course, there are things that resemble each other as they live together, but it is doubtful whether they will accept Arin.

“Yes.”

“So…if I am recognized by my senior’s daughter…”

Come on.

She holds my hand.

“Will you accept my marriage proposal?”

It’s a quick ball.

“…We’re not even dating yet. Please give me time……”

“Senior likes me.”

“…….”

Her words were so decisive that I was speechless for a moment.

“I also know that the senior is just worried about his daughter.”

“…Arin you…”

“Please look at me.”

Turn your head.

Chueup.

Then her surprise kiss attack hit my lips.

I didn’t reject it.

There was no need to reject her sweet, moist lips.

Paa.

She parted her lips and looked at me with loving eyes.

Is it an illusion?

It felt like there was a heart shape in her eyes.

“You already like me, so you won’t reject me like this.”

“…I can’t deny it.”

Come on.

Her small, slender hand holding my hand again.

“Please trust me.”

“……”

“Just like you seduce your senior, I will also seduce your daughter in a nice way.”

The daughter is a formidable opponent.

But why?

It didn’t seem like Arin would lose.

I hope Arin wins.

okay.

I want to have a normal family.

dad.

mom.

And daughter.

This is a normal family.

A wife who loves me and is devoted to me.

A daughter who loves and follows me.

I want to smile and look at my wife and daughter playing tiki-taka while eating the food my wife cooks.

I want to live happily ever after with them.

I rested my head on her shoulder.

“…Is it okay to look forward to it?”

“Sure, senior.”

She also leaned her head against mine.

****

“Sleep well, Dad.”

widely.

Minah closed her old flip phone.

Minah continued to feel strangely anxious.

It’s been since I came to OT.

There’s something about dad.

But dad says no.

I am not a lying father.

But why be suspicious?

This can be easily solved by making a video call.

But it didn’t work because her phone was an old feature phone that only made calls.

‘I need to buy a smartphone quickly.’

As soon as OT is over, I plan to go to the cell phone store with my dad.

In this situation, there is no need to be suspicious as long as you can see your surroundings through a video call.

“You were here?”

‘Tsk.’

Taemin Kim.

He is the college’s student council president.

Minah avoided him throughout the OTI.

He tried very hard to get something involved with Minah, but Minah caught his intentions and did a good job of avoiding him.

“I was on the phone with my dad.”

“Now you too are an adult. You can’t stay with your parents forever.”

“There is no mother.”

“….I’m so sorry…”

Taemin’s face crumpled slightly.

I decided that I had made a mistake.

“No. Please go in even though it is cold. I’ll go back in a moment.”

Minah, who did not miss his mistake, gave him a cold answer as much as possible.

Taemin is embarrassed by Minah’s response.

“Ah… Anyway, I came because I have something to talk to you about.”

But he was no ordinary person either.

“What is it?”

“I was wondering if I could take on the role of first-year section manager.”
