The teacher stepped aside and the role play began.

“Where does it hurt?”

“My whole body just hurts. Crap.”

“Nurse, please give me a syringe.”

“Yes. Here it is.”

Five seconds after I started, I lay down and closed my eyes. Things were going as I wanted, so I figured I could just lay down and rest.

“I’ll give you an injection.”

He said he was going to give me an injection, but then I suddenly felt a finger press on my shoulder, and I started playing dead as usual.

Even though hip shots are the norm, I guess I got the shot in my shoulder.

“Doctor. Why won’t my boyfriend wake up?”

“Uh… I have to get up after getting the shot…”

I heard Ji-eun, who played the role of a nurse, whispering to Seon-woo, who played the role of a doctor.

“The author, not the nurse, said that if you don’t wake up after getting an injection, your girlfriend has to kiss you to wake you up.”

I was on the verge of falling asleep, so I had no choice but to wake up immediately when I heard that sound.

“Hey. This house is good at giving injections~”

“My boyfriend woke up. Thank you, teacher.”

“Oh.. That’s right!”

Our eyes met with those of our teacher, who was looking at us with sparkling eyes from a distance.

My mom’s expression, as if she was anticipating the next episode of a drama.

I was confused because I couldn’t figure out why, but it seemed like the teacher was a malicious idiot.

After the hospital play, the family play began.

As the father, I came home from work and pretended to go to sleep right away because I was tired.

It was a comfortable role-playing time where we could close our eyes and lie down while the rest of the children played a fun family game on their own.

And then the second lunch time at the kindergarten we visited.

Today, as I sat down, the teacher brought me a plate of food.

A menu that isn’t particularly special, like yesterday.

White rice, seaweed soup, bulgogi, cubed radish, bean sprouts, and braised eggs.

It seems like my feeling that it was a good restaurant yesterday was not wrong, and today it is still the same good restaurant.

In fact, to me, kindergarten was such a delicious restaurant that it felt like I was just coming here to eat.

“People who have finished eating, put your plates in front of you and go out like yesterday. Those who want to play, play, and those who want to rest, rest. Got it? Those who are going out, make sure to change your shoes! See you later~!!”

“”Yes.””

Today, I ate all the rice I had and even finished returning my plate.

I would have liked to lie down in a corner and take a nap, but I couldn’t bring myself to nap because my lips might be in danger like they were yesterday.

Finally, we change our shoes at the entrance and go outside.

A kindergarten playground where not only the Petal Class friends but also 5, 6, and 7 year olds are spread out here and there.

There are groups playing ball, some running around, and some gathered together talking.

Today, I feel more comfortable alone, so I’m looking around to see if there’s a nice corner somewhere.

-puck

Someone hit me in the head from behind.

What is this familiar feeling?

Finally, I turn around to feel the touch of the hand on my head, reminding me of the bastard who hit me.

A boy I had never seen before, a head taller than me, was looking down at me with his arms linked with a girl next to him.

“You’re blocking the road so annoyingly! Won’t you move?”

Since I was blocking the road, the boy probably hit me on the back of the head to look cool to his girlfriend.

If I hadn’t just let it slide when that bastard hit me in my past life, I wouldn’t have died.

I just pushed the boy in the stomach.

If the kids fight like this, it’ll just end with a few punches after they fall over and someone climbs on top of them.

But it doesn’t go over? Huh? Why? Ah, it’s the weight class difference!

“Did you hit me just now?”

I was hit in the face with a straight punch from the boy and fell backwards.

It seems that the weight class difference cannot be ignored even in children’s fights.

I lay there looking up at the clear sky, and the weather was incredibly nice.

“Don’t mess with me. You’ll die!”

A boy leaves with his girlfriend, coolly wiping the shoe prints left on his stomach.

The gentleman said he had been dissatisfied for ten years.

It is said that a gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years.

I don’t know who did it, but that’s what happened. Ten years is too long, wouldn’t five years be enough?

I vowed revenge, knowing that I could not win if I attacked him again with my skinny 5-year-old body.

If you tell your teacher, you might just get an apology and it’ll be over.

But I have no need for such a forced apology.

I got up from my seat, dusted the dirt off my clothes, and headed in the direction the boy had left.

I was watching him enter the sun class. Minji was coming out of that class. It looks like she’s in the same class.

“Sister. What’s the name of the guy who just walked in arm in arm with the girl?”

“Who? Oh, it must be Park Si-woo? Why?”

“No. Thank you, sis.”

Since they went to the same kindergarten, the school district would be the same. They would go to the same elementary school later. I remembered Park Si-woo, who was two years older.

I will definitely get revenge for the stab in the back of my head I received today.

As he enters the classroom vowing revenge, he sees children gathered around him and Minjun and his girlfriend Jiyoung Lee reaching out and showing off something.

Suddenly, I felt curious and went closer, and saw Minjun and Jiyoung showing off the rings on their thumbs.

“Isn’t it pretty? Minjun gave it to me!”

“Wow. It’s pretty. I want one too.”

“Wow. It’s sparkly.”

“Show me too!”

The kids are looking at the ring on Jiyoung’s thumb, wondering if the sparkly ring looks pretty, and next to them is Minjun, who is looking smug again today.

Even at a glance, it didn’t seem like something a five-year-old would have, so I approached Jaehoon and asked him.

“Minjun. Where did you get that?”

“Mom gave it to me!”

“Can I just look at it once?”

“Okay! I’ll give you special permission!”

When I lifted the ring and looked closely, it was indeed a gold ring. Even the middle wasn’t cubic but a diamond, so it couldn’t possibly be a wedding ring.

No matter how I look at it, it looks like a wedding ring. Since there are two of them, there can’t be anything else besides a wedding ring.

“Is this what your mom gave you?”

“Yeah! Mom said I can have the woman I want to marry!”

“When did you do that?”

“Um… a few months ago?”

“Where was the ring?”

“To Mom and Dad’s room!!”

“Did you bring that and give it to Minji?”

“Yeah!! I gave it to you because I’m dating Minji!”

“Okay. Cheer up and have a good day.”

“Yeah!”

I’m dizzy.

It seemed like Minjun’s parents were about to break down

But since I know your face, I can’t just pretend not to see you and pass by.

I went straight to the teacher because I felt like if I lost it, it would be a huge problem.

“Teacher. Can you please just make one phone call to Minjun’s house?”

“Huh? At Minjun’s house? Why??”

“Minjun and I live next door to each other, so I have something to tell you.”

“Um… It wasn’t supposed to work? Why is it like that?”

“Minjun brought his parents’ wedding ring and gave it to Jiyoung.”

“Huh? A wedding ring?”

“Yes.”

“Is this a wedding ring?”

“Yes, I think so.”

“Where are Minjun and Jiyoung?”

“It’s a petal.”

“The teacher will check and call you! Jaehoon is resting!”

“Yes.”

A teacher walking briskly towards the class.

It seems like Minjun’s accident has been resolved, so if he just gradually prepares for revenge a few years from now, it’ll be perfect.

First of all, the growth plate must never be injured, so while thinking of exercises that will not injure the growth plate, a crying sound is heard.

As we entered the classroom, it seemed like the teacher had taken away the rings that Minjun and Minji were wearing.

“Please stay in the classroom so the teacher can check!”

The teacher quickly disappeared with the ring in his hand.

Jiyoung sobbing and Minjun looking flustered.

Minjun, if you do well today, you might get hit.

After about 10 minutes of sitting quietly in the somewhat quiet class.

Minjun’s mother appeared with an angry face.

Since there are a lot of other children, he seems to be holding back his anger for now without saying much.

Minjun, whose shoulders slumped as if he finally felt anxious, walked out of kindergarten holding his mother’s hand.

In the afternoon, there was storybook reading time with the teacher.

As I dozed off to the sound of the teacher’s voice, which sounded like a lullaby, it was time for school.

After a brief greeting with the teacher, I came out and saw that Ye-eun’s mother was waiting for me again today, holding her in her arms.

“Jaehoon!!”

“Brother!”

“Just stay home, why are you here? You can go alone, Ye-eun’s hand!”

Now that Ye-eun has grown up so much, the mother looks tired and holds Ye-eun’s hand as she walks back home. As expected, it’s the situation next door that the mother talks about.

”There was chaos at Minjun’s house? What did Minjun do?”

“Heh heh. Really?”

“What did Minjun do? Why are you smiling like a villain?”

“Minjun brought his parents’ wedding rings, gave one to his girlfriend, and wore one himself, so I told the teacher.”

“Oh my. A wedding ring? That would be a disaster.”

“Maybe you don’t even know what you did wrong?”

“Are all the kindergarten kids like Minjun?”

“No, I see, he’s particularly strange.”

“Hehe. Really? Somehow, when I’m with Minjun, Jaehoon acts too mature.”

“….”

I was speechless again today, and when we all entered the apartment and got off the elevator, I could still hear the screaming.

“Mom told me you could give it to me!!”

“When you get married, you talk about it after you become an adult. It’s not like I’m going to just take it and give it to you without saying anything!!”

Hmm… Seeing him arguing like that with a 5-year-old, I wonder if Minjun takes after his mother.

Minjun must have come in an hour early, but he wouldn’t have been like that for an hour.

“Hehehe Mom loves Jaehoon so much because he’s kind and polite.”

“I told you Minjun is weird.”

The house next door was noisy, but our house was peaceful today too.
