First impressions

While I was watching the documentary for a while, my dad started talking while placing his hand on my protruding stomach.

“Shall we get a cat?”

“No, it’s annoying.”

In response to the firm answer, Dad smiled slightly and nodded.

“okay…”

“It’s more bothersome to dad than me~”

In a dark room, the documentary was introducing the strength of a cat.

Dad looked at me watching TV without thinking.

“Shall we sleep now?”

“Um… just watch for one more hour.”

Dad touched my cheek and smiled playfully.

“30 minutes.”

“45 minutes.”

“Um… 37 minutes and 30 seconds.”

“40 minutes and 45 seconds.”

My dad must have given up, and he said while looking at me watching TV with my chin folded.

“I’m going to watch for another 40 minutes and 45 seconds before going to sleep.”

“huh.”

Dad set an alarm on his cell phone.

“But I sleep at daycare too?”

“You have to sleep a lot to grow taller.”

“What if the woman is a little short?”

Dad refutes what I said.

“Don’t you know that tall women are cool?”

“Wouldn’t it be cool if I were taller than my dad?”

My dad must have imagined me being bigger than him, so he nodded and spoke quietly.

“Is that so…?”

A day passed, and I left my body with my dad and got ready to go out.

I saw the ringing phone and said to my dad.

“grandma.”

Dad came over, checked his phone, and answered the phone.

“Yes. Hello?”

After I started going to daycare, my father must have had a conversation with my grandmother, and he repeatedly smiled and nodded differently than usual.

“Yes, yes, I will come visit you next week, yes.”

My father placed me in the head seat with a car seat,

After fastening the car seat belt, I started the engine and headed to the daycare center.

“Whew… this isn’t fun.”

“Didn’t Siyun make a friend?”

“What kind of friend is that, you’re too young?”

“…Then wouldn’t it be okay for Siyun to take care of the children?”

“Babies are annoying. Sometimes… haha… they pee in their pants.”

“Uh… um…? It’s obvious… isn’t it…?”

On the day of the parents’ meeting, my father was bombarded with endless questions from other mothers.

How can I raise my child to be smart like Si-yoon?

I still can’t forget the look on my dad’s face, who was afraid of facing the fans, but suddenly became embarrassed when questions about me were asked.

“Would you like to buy me a cell phone?”

After a long time, I nodded vigorously to my dad, who made a suggestion that I liked.

“huh.”

Dad smiled brightly and looked at me.

“Instead, I will set it so that it can only be viewed for 4 hours a day.”

“… How about calling when you’re in a hurry?”

“You just have to make it so that you can always make phone calls~”

Dad turned the car around and headed to the store to buy a cell phone while calling the daycare center.

“Wow… I guess that kind of function has been added…”

“what?”

“No~”

After arriving at the store, my dad bought a tablet the size of my small body and a cell phone thicker than my forearm.

“This is Dad’s, this is Siyoon’s.”

“huh.”

Since I can only use my cell phone for 4 hours, I put it in my pocket without turning it on, and my dad looked at me like I was cute.

“Shall we go to daycare now?”

“huh.”

The staff gave me food, and I looked annoyed as I received it.

“It’s a hassle to brush my teeth, but I’ll eat well.”

“If you do that, we’d be grateful~”

I got into the car seat with my dad’s hand, and we headed to the daycare center.

I sat on a chair and quietly drew a picture, then glanced at the place where the commotion had become.

A young kid who looks like I’m annoyed, and the teachers who feel burdened by such a kid.

The little boy was receiving that gaze as if it was natural, and then our eyes met.

The clothes were extravagant, and they were the first clothes my father tried to dress me in.

My father surrendered to the declaration that he would take off his clothes rather than wear them.

The little boy glanced at me for a long time,

Then, with the lace on her clothes fluttering, she crept closer to me.

“Hello? My name is Dayeon.”

“Okay, nice to meet you.”

“You’re so pretty~”

“Okay, thank you.”

“The clothes are really pretty.”

“Okay, thank you.”

As I was concentrating on drawing, the little boy who was looking at my drawing laughed.

“Ahaha, your picture is so ugly!”

“…? Is this you?”

A little boy who gives me a serious look at what I say.

“…it’s not me.”

A little boy named Dayeon was looking at me with a gloomy expression.

And big kids fighting over toys from afar.

A toy that can transform in 12 stages.

We fought with a toy as big as my body, and when we lost the toy, the huge toy flew towards Dayeon.

A 12-speed transformation toy that flies in a parabola.

I lightly grabbed one of the legs of the flying robot, twisted the angle of the toy, and smashed it into the drawer next to it.

Kwaang!!!

“You kids… just stay still.”

The 12-speed transformation robot disintegrated due to impact and fell to the floor, with only one leg of the robot in my hand.

Little kids flinch at the sound of my voice.

As a result, the Sunbeam class suddenly became quiet.

However, a child named Dayeon was looking at me with sparkling eyes.

“…?”

A house large enough to be called a mansion.

A woman approaches a child named Dayeon who was playing with a doll inside.

“Da-yeon, what do you want to do today?”

“I want to go to daycare.”

The woman’s eyes sparkled at her daughter’s unexpected answer.

“Oh my? Does Dayeon want to go to daycare?”

“yes~”

“Then shall we get ready?”

“yes!”

Dayeon’s mother took out her phone in an elegant manner, looking like she had all the luxury items plastered on her body.

“Driver? Please get ready to go out.”

“What should Dayeon wear today?”

“Pretty one!”

“Other than what Dayeon likes?”

“yes!”

“Our Dayeon is pretty no matter what she wears~”

Dayeon shook her head at her mother’s words.

“What mom chooses!”

“Oh my~”

Dayeon’s mother is smiling with pride, no matter what happened to her daughter.

“And I also have a cell phone!”

“Cellphone? Does Dayeon have any friends who use cellphones?”

“huh.”

Dayeon’s mother smiled, dressed Dayeon, and called Hanbit Daycare Center.

“I have to say hello to teacher Siyoon.”

Thinking of myself as chic, I roughly waved at the young teacher.

“What did they tell you to do when greeting adults?”

I listened to my father and bowed again.

“Girl, I’m going to leave now.”

“Ugh…”

Dad sighed with laughter, then picked me up and put me in the car.

“Did you have fun today?”

“Haa… My name is Dayeon, I’ve got a troublesome girl…’

“huh?”

“He follows me around because he likes me…”

“Oh… Our Siyoon is the most popular?”

I thought of a little girl named Dayeon whom I met today.

After I broke the boys’ toys, they tried to imitate everything I did.

I came up with a good idea and told my dad.

“Oh… Dad, buy me a book.”

“Book? What book?”

“A novel, in English.”

Dad asked me while concentrating on driving.

“Suddenly? Then shall we go to the bookstore?”

“huh”

After arriving at the bookstore, I pointed to the book on display in the front row.

“Can you read?”

I opened the book while being held by my father and read it while translating in front of him.

“…..”

“I’ll take this.”

Dad held me with one hand and counted the books with the other.

“Oh my, your daughter is so pretty… Huh!”

A part-time worker who looks at me and is surprised to see my father.

Dad lowered his hat, wondering what was so embarrassing.

“thank you…”

“Yes, please come again…”

After a woman called, the young teacher started to get nervous.

“Yes, Dayeon’s mother.”

Dayeon’s mother asked about the cell phone.

Hanbit Daycare Center, a daycare center in Ichon-dong.

Here, the use of cell phones was prohibited due to the parents’ decision.

“…Huh? Ah…Are you talking about Siyoon?”

The young teacher looked at the director with a troubled expression, and the director asked, ‘What’s going on?’

A young teacher mouthing the word ‘cell phone’.

The director indicated that he should hand over the phone.

“Mother, just a moment.”

“Hello~ I am Dayeon’s mother, and I am the director of Hanbit Daycare Center.”

A long conversation continued, and the director hung up and started cleaning the area.

As time passed, Dayeon’s mother came to the daycare center along with Dayeon.

The two who appear to be bodyguards behind.

“Hello~ Please come in. Mother.”

The young teacher lowered his posture to match Dayeon’s eye level and greeted her.

“Hello~ Dayeon, how are you?”

“yes!”

“Shall we go in and draw with the teacher?”

“yes!”

Dayeon and the young teacher were gone, and only the director and Dayeon’s mother remained in the entrance hall.

Lee Da-yeon, the youngest daughter of Lee Jin-seok, the young representative of Hansung, the second largest business in Korea.

It will not take long until Lee Jin-seok, who has been designated as the successor, takes the position of the next Hansung Chairman.

His young wife, Kim Seon-hwa, was sitting at the daycare center.

“Wouldn’t cell phones have a negative impact on children’s thinking…?”

“that is…”

The director tried to continue speaking, but Kim Seon-hwa spoke with a worried expression.

“Dayeon… said she had a friend who was using a cell phone… and she wanted to use it too…”

The director, who was listening to Seonhwa Kim, played a video to Seonhwa Kim on her laptop.

Siyoon was seen sleeping there, with a barricade set up around him.

“…Is this child Siyoon?“

The director nodded, showed the current CCTV situation and spoke carefully.

“Si-yoon… is so different from other children… “

Si-yoon was reading a book, and it was all in English.

And next to him, Dayeon was looking at Siyun curiously.

Siyun wiped Dayeon’s mouth with a smile and said something.

Seonhwa Kim nodded, unable to even imagine that those words might be an insult.

“You seem like a very smart kid…?”

“From an educator’s perspective, we shouldn’t judge children as smart, but… Yes… I already knew everything they could learn at daycare, so I thought I’d give them elementary education quickly…”

Dayeon’s mother looked at the director with interest.

“But… Siyun’s father didn’t want it.”

It was Si-yoon’s father who was refusing the kind of ‘gifted education’ that others could not do even if they wanted to.

“…..”

“Unless Siyun doesn’t want to, I want her to learn at the same pace as other children.”

“What about your cell phone…?”

“Like the video I showed you at the beginning… Siyoon is not interested in anything that might interest children.”

“Ah… So that’s why you were sleeping…”

“Yes… Si-yoon’s father was watching that with pity…”

Dayeon’s mother nodded as if she understood.

Even if Si-yoon looks at his cell phone, he hides it in a place where the children can’t see.

That little boy was clearly aware that he was not allowed to have a cell phone at daycare.

Dayeon, who had been following him, watched.

“Is it possible for me to talk to Siyoon?”

The director nodded and spoke to Kim Seon-hwa.

“Then, shall we ask Siyun’s father for permission?”

Even if other parents talked to Dayeon, he said, thinking that they would have to get his permission.

“Of course, I will do it myself.”
