First impressions

In the car, Dad looked at the business card for a while.

“Dayeon’s parents are Hanseong… She was Lee Jin-seok’s daughter…”

“know?”

“Who? Dayeon’s parents?”

“huh.”

Dad nodded and asked if he knew anything about Hanseong.

“Of course~ He’s the second richest person in our country, right?”

“…uh?”

“I have a lot more money than my dad.”

“Wow… are you that rich?”

“Then~”

As far as I know, Hansung was not that rich.

No, you can’t become that rich even after 20 years.

In my organization, I contributed to making Company S a global company, but at the same time, I also played a part in lowering Korea’s large corporations to the level of mid-sized companies.

I quickly turned on my phone and searched for news.

Company S also applies… the war on crime.

I was able to predict what happened just from that article.

Company S, whose arms and legs were cut off.

Although it is said to have lost limbs, it was a company that shook Korea at the time.

It quickly overcame the crisis and remains number one in the business world to this day.

And the current CEO of S Company is someone who has been afraid of me since I was young.

He is the person who eventually ordered me to be killed immediately after becoming CEO.

The person with the small bowl that even I, who was nothing more than my own hunting dog, was afraid of was the representative…

“Si-yoon, what are you looking at?”

“Hansung, I’m curious~”

“Si-yoon’s cell phone was also made by Hansung.”

“oh…”

‘So you were concentrating on my phone?’

“Shall we go to Dad’s office today? See Aunt Jieun?”

“huh”

My father may have wanted to work, but he made up my own excuse and headed to his company.

The JSM CEO I ran into while carrying me inside.

Only Jang Seong was looking at his father.

“Jiho!”

“Ah, CEO.”

“Do you know how worried he was? He didn’t answer the phone for a while.”

“I wanted to see you too, but you have to drink every time you meet the CEO.”

Dad looked at me, and Jangseongman also looked at me intently.

“Wow… she’s so pretty. Really wow… she’s a baby angel…”

Out of 100 people who see me for the first time, 99 are mesmerized.

“i know.”

Of course, I didn’t like myself for having such weak bones and muscles.

“Did you come to play with dad?”

CEO Jang Seong-man flinched when he spoke in a tone that treated me like a child and looked at me like he was looking at a bug.

“…Uncle, are you hurt?”

“grandfather.”

He looked at my dad with an expression that seemed even more shocked when he heard my grandfather yell at me.

“…I think your daughter hates me…?”

“Shave your beard, CEO.”

Only Jang Seong, who touched his beard, nodded and said.

“Daughter, I’m waiting for you. I’ll come back soon with something nice~”

“She’s not grandpa’s daughter.”

“…..”

CEO Jang Seong-man disappeared with his shoulders drooping and a lonely look on his face.

“Siyoon~!”

I nodded chicly at Aunt Ji-eun, who greeted me warmly, and tried to look at my phone.

But Aunt Jieun was holding something in her hand.

‘snack…?’

In the end, I couldn’t resist the temptation of the bag full of snacks in my hands, and when I looked at it, Aunt Ji-eun looked at me playfully.

“I want to eat?”

“Can I call you Mom?”

“Ahaha”

I threw my phone aside, took out a snack from a bag bigger than my body, and handed it to Aunt Jieun.

“As expected… Siyun likes mustache snacks~”

Aunt Ji-eun, who opened the bag of snacks and gave it to her, looked at her father and said.

“Oppa, when are you going to upload a song?”

“Huh? You recorded it with Siyoon?”

“huh!”

“You’re not planning on posting that?”

Aunt Ji-eun, embarrassed by her father’s words, hit the desk hard and asked.

bang!

“why?!”

Aunt Ji-eun found me and apologized for fear that I might have surprised her.

I sat on the sofa and watched them both.

“I just wanted to leave it as a memory~”

Aunt Jieun looked at me, and I made eye contact with her.

“?”

“Siyoon, don’t you want other people to hear the song you sang with your dad?”

“why?”

“Hmm… Then other people can be happy when they hear Siyun’s voice.”

I chuckled and crossed my legs.

When my father saw that, he shouted.

“Siyoon, you said that if you cross your legs like that since you were little, it will hurt later, right?”

I uncrossed my legs and spoke to Aunt Jieun.

“Are you trying to seduce me too emotionally?”

“…uh?”

Dad laughed bitterly at my tone.

“Try tempting me with something more plausible.”

“Uh… um… if I release the song, I’m sure there will be a lot of money…?”

I was embarrassed by my aunt’s words made by my father.

“Hey Lee Ji-eun!”

My father urged my aunt, but I nodded.

“Oh… how much do you make?”

Aunt Ji-eun was looking at me with suspicion, wondering if I was really a 4-year-old.

At that time, Jang Seong-man came in.

“Huh? Hello, CEO~”

Aunt Ji-eun stood up and politely greeted Jang Seong-man, and Dad made eye contact and said that they were closer than I thought.

“came?”

Jang Seong-man appeared as a clean-cut middle-aged man, wearing a suit instead of a singlet and his hair up.

CEO Jang Seong-man nodded roughly to my father’s words and approached me with his eyes fixed on me.

“How do you feel? Do you still look like your grandfather?”

“huh.”

CEO Jang Seong-man pretends to fall down with a shocked expression upon hearing my answer without any hesitation, and puts his arms on the sofa to support his body.

Finally, he acknowledged that he was a grandfather and looked at Aunt Jieun and asked.

“What were you talking about?”

Aunt Ji-eun looked at her father’s thoughts, and when her father nodded, she played a song.

“how is it?”

“…..”

My father’s and my voice mingled together, giving off the feel of a hip children’s song.

“Why aren’t you paying this? Is it because of the down payment? Shall we sign again with a blank contract like before?”

Dad said, laughing at Jang Seong-man’s playful and exaggerated words.

“It’s okay, it’s just a song I made for Siyun to have fun with.”

“You always make something half-baked and it becomes a big hit, right? This is sure to be a hit! It’s perfect for your return!!!”

“You know, I have no intention of returning, but even if I do, I will do it once Si-yoon is older and I can at least enter elementary school.”

CEO Jang Seong-man nodded and continued speaking.

“Yes… But why haven’t you given up on your dream… You know the contract remains the same, right?”

“Of course~”

Aunt Jieun sat down and concentrated on the conversation before speaking.

“Siyoon asked me how much I would earn if I sang this song.”

“hmm…”

After thinking for a moment, CEO Jang Seong-man sat down next to me and said.

“Originally, if you put out a song with money in mind, it only ends up being about 1/10 to 1/100 of what you expected, right?”

I nodded, looking at CEO Jang Seong-man’s face.

There was a strange smell in my mouth, as if I had sprayed something.

“It’s worthy of your father’s name, a song released by a rare genius after 4 years… and for various reasons… it’s a hot topic.”

To indirectly mention my mother’s death in front of me… I wondered if I was being tactless…

My father, perhaps aware of CEO Jang Seong-man’s personality, only looked slightly uncomfortable and didn’t say anything.

“Even if this song is played only in Korea, it is enough to reach at least a billion units, and if you include overseas, it is enough to reach more than 10 billion units…”

My eyes widened at the ridiculous price, which surpassed what I had imagined.

“There are at least 285,715 mustache cookies…”

“”…..””

“If you eat one every day… you can eat for 782 years…”

They were looking at me with shocked expressions as I was perfectly able to do division and multiplication at the age of 4.

Meanwhile, my father was also shocked.

“Wow…genius…”

“i know.”

“Rare…”

“i know.”

In the past, I never thought that my brain was good.

But now my head is spinning. As if it wasn’t me.

When you think deeply, the surroundings quickly seem to stop.

I looked at my dad and said.

“Dad, let’s sing a song.”

“…Is it because of money?”

I put my finger on my lips.

“Hmm… I don’t really realize how much money it is…”

Dad checking my face in the rear-view mirror.

“Are you going to lie to Dad again?”

“Yes. It’s a white lie.”

“…..”

When I admitted it obediently, my father nodded silently.

“I’m hungry.”

“Do you really want me to sing a song? Then… Dad might get busy and not be able to play with Siyoon…”

Dad holding the steering wheel with an expression as if he wanted someone to hold him.

“Then you don’t have to do it.”

“…..”

Dad seemed to be very concerned about what I said, and his face was filled with worry.

“Haa… Dad.”

“huh?”

“If I sing, will you abandon me?”

“Never!!! Si-yoon is the only father?!”

“If I sing, won’t you take me there?”

“no…”

“If I sing, they won’t cook you food?”

“…no.”

“If I sing, won’t you sleep with me?”

“…..”

“If I sing, won’t you play with me?”

“ah…”

“Well, nothing different from usual…”

“but…”

Dad eventually stopped the car.

“Dad… he likes singing so much…”

“Why couldn’t you be with your mom?”

Dad closed his eyes tightly at my last comment.

“…..”

Dad had extreme control over his favorite activity.

The 6 hours I spend at daycare every day.

So, for exactly 5 hours a day, no matter how good an idea I had, when the alarm rang, I left without any regrets.

As if to prove that the nickname ‘rare genius’ is not given to just anyone.

My father, who was a ‘rare genius’, was unable to watch my mother die or give birth to me because of his talent.

Because of that trauma, if I was in the studio after the alarm went off, I would quickly get out of there as if something big would happen.

“Dad, you sing.”

“…..”

“And you’re spending time with me.”

“huh…”

“Of course, my dad wanted to do it, so he took me to work, but…”

“…..”

Dad gave me a look that asked if he even knew that.

“Can’t we stop now anyway?”

“…No, I won’t do it if Siyoon tells me not to.”

“Wow.”

“…..”

Of course, if I tell him not to do it, that young dad who thinks I am everything won’t do it.

Dad looks extremely happy when he listens to music or plays a toy piano.

For me, he didn’t even look at music for four years.

I am not selfish enough to prevent a young new father from being happy.

“Just sing like you’re playing with me, and show people what you want to show them.”

“…..”

“Dad said he likes me better than singing.”

“huh…”

“Then, Dad can control it. If you’re not confident about it, you can just not do it like you are now.”

Dad sighed and looked at me.

“My daughter is so smart… Dad made me worry?”

“That’s all you need to know.”

“Then… shall we just upload the song I sang with my dad?”

“What were you editing just now?”

“Oh… did you know that too?”

“huh.”

CEO Jang Seong-man and Aunt Ji-eun didn’t know what my dad had modified so far, and only knew the song that my dad and I first created.

“Do you want to listen?”

“huh.”

I felt for myself why rapper Jiho Kim is a genius at composing music.

The melody created along the lines of the piano made me feel like I was entering a cozy cloud.

At the same time, I felt complex emotions.

The blue and clear sky that seems infinitely bright, but on some days it seems sad…
