Chapter Index



    Little kids’ resolution.



    I made a sour expression, but Dayeon looked at me with a smile.

    “But Siyuni says people like her even if she stays still like a princess!”

    I felt like the story was leaking somewhere else, so I told Dayeon the facts.

    “I’m not a princess. And Dayeon has received many confessions, right?”

    “…..”

    “Really? There were kids who confessed even if they stayed still like princesses, right?”

    “…huh.”

    While chatting with Dayeon, I suddenly became curious and asked her a question.

    “But why did you reject them all?”

    “…so stupid…”

    “The friend in that photo must be stupid compared to Dayeon?”

    I hoped to erase that fox-like bastard named Kim Tae-oh from Dayeon’s mind, but Dayeon’s reaction wasn’t like that.

    “But it’s cool!”

    Looking at Dayeon’s expression… I 100% thought that she would confess someday.

    I took my time hoping that the smart Da-yeon would see Kim Tae-o as a stupid friend.

    “Even if you look cool, you can’t show it off. All you have to do is act pretty until the other person falls for you.”

    “!!! Then, will Dayeon like it?”

    “Of course~ Everyone wants to get married even if you stay still like a princess!”

    “Okay! I’m going to be a princess too!”

    I clapped my hands at the 9-year-old’s pledge.

    As I came out of the room, I noticed Jinseok Lee, and after receiving my gaze, Jinseok Lee naturally entered the study.

    The study is the inviolable territory of the little ones in this house.

    This is an area where Jinseok Lee and I can meet face to face naturally.

    “Let’s get to the point, do you think I’m tired?”

    Lee Jin-seok with a sad expression.

    Ji-ho Kim, who had asked about his daughter not long ago, came to Lee Jin-seok’s mind.

    “Eh…eh… no way.”

    “I think I know the truth just by looking at the reaction… I’m not the person to talk to without my dad.”

    “…sorry.”

    I sighed, clenching my chin.

    “Ha… Thanks to you, I got over the argument with my dad. Anyway, next time.”

    “…..”

    Lee Jin-seok, who flinched at the look in my eyes, crossed his arms and started to notice me.

    “I told you not to use Kim Tae-oh.”

    Kim Tae-oh, the kid from HSW that I picked a while ago.

    Lee Jin-seok was taken aback by the sudden name.

    “…? Why?”

    “Dayeon is hooked.”

    “What?! We’ve only met once?!”

    “Dayeon… I never thought she would be Geumsa’s partner…”

    Lee Jin-seok, whose expression became serious, asked me.

    “Should I cancel now?”

    “Are you confident that you won’t see Dayeon’s face next time?”

    Lee Jin-seok, who understood exactly what I meant, began to think seriously.

    “…..”

    I looked at Jinseok Lee, sighed, and continued speaking.

    “You’re smart enough to remember everything, right? First of all, I told you well.”

    “Thank you…”

    “It’s natural that your eyesight will naturally become higher as you grow up… but this little boy named Kim Tae-oh had an unusual appearance…”

    “…..”

    “That thing is… it will shine even brighter when it grows up. Just like me.”

    “no…”

    Looking at Lee Jin-seok in despair, he continued to say a few more words.

    “Dating is not an option. Don’t waste your time like this. If you tell me not to do it, I’m at an age where I’ll want to do it more.”

    “…That’s why you…”

    Lee Jin-seok, who flinched at the look in my eyes, turned the book he wasn’t even looking at upside down and read it.

    “What am I?”

    “Oh…no.”

    “No, tell me. I need to know my shortcomings so I can change too.”

    Lee Jin-seok looked at me for a moment and closed the book.

    Jinseok Lee’s hands were shaking as he had just discovered that the book was upside down.

    “I heard from Jiho… he said he wanted to do things he didn’t want you to do…”

    “Because the rest is what Dad likes.”

    “…As an adult, you are bound to be worried.”

    I released my hand from holding my chin, slowly clasped my fingers together, and asked Jinseok Lee.

    “What is the reason?”

    Jinseok Lee seemed to have organized his thoughts and spoke accurately.

    “I’m worried that it might have a negative impact on the child’s personality development.”

    “What is my personality like?”

    “Sprout gourd…”

    Lee Jin-seok watches me carefully and says exactly what he wants to say.

    My blood pressure rose for a moment, but I realized that this was the image I had for adults.

    Actually, if I had seen a kid acting like me in the past, I would have given him a night’s sleep.

    “Then how should I act?”

    “…I can see Dayeon… right…?”

    “…? That’s greed.”

    “…..”

    I nodded as if I roughly understood and told him my next plan.

    “I know you want to send Dayeon to study abroad, but please cancel the plan.”

    “…..”

    “Or Kim Tae-oh won’t stop Dayeon even if she eats him?”

    Jinseok Lee looks at me with a shocked expression.

    “Do you think you’ll like Taeoh more than you later? No, do you still think that way?”

    “Stand… no way.”

    “Don’t ask Dayeon carelessly.”

    I made a straight face and looked straight into Jinseok Lee’s eyes.

    “Later, when Dayeon asks me if I told my dad about what I like about Taeoh, he… he really… won’t be able to handle it.”

    Lee Jin-seok swallowed his saliva at the sound of my cold voice, and a gulping sound rang out in the quiet study.

    “Siyu noona! Siyu noona!”

    I stroked Ga-yeon’s head, which was clinging to me and not letting go.

    “Lee Ga-yeon! Si-yuni is having a hard time!”

    Dayeon tried to pull Gayeon away from me, but she stopped because she was about to cry.

    Kim Seon-hwa, who was watching the scene, smiled and said.

    “I couldn’t watch Siyun’s movie because of them~”

    “The trailer for the drama we filmed this time has been released. Check it out.”

    “Oh, so?”

    Seonhwa Kim searches on her cell phone and smiles brightly.

    “Oh my~ It’s so pretty~”

    Jeongyeon glanced at him, pretending not to be interested.

    Kim Seon-hwa, who was quick-witted, showed her cell phone to Jeongyeon, and Jeongyeon blushed.

    “This… it’s pretty…”

    “Really? I guess this drama wanted Si-yoon to gain some strength from his popularity~“

    This is my role, which goes beyond my father’s influence and includes Hanseong’s influence.

    A role that cannot be filmed normally…

    I guessed Kim Seon-hwa, who pretended not to know.

    “I felt like I was more invested in my role than the adult nine-tailed fox.”

    Dayeon watched the video and her eyes sparkled.

    “Wow… it’s a tail…, Siyuni was a nine-tailed fox!?”

    “That’s right~”

    “I heard you were a mermaid last time!”

    “Sometimes, if you stay on the ground for too long, you turn into a nine-tailed fox.”

    “…Ugh…really?”

    When Dayeon refused to believe me, I reacted as if I was annoyed.

    “Don’t you believe it?“

    Dayeon sees my reaction and runs towards me like a conditioned reflex.

    “Trust me!! Siyuni is a nine-tailed fox!”

    “Then shall we have a snack and go to the pool?”

    “”huh!””

    When Ga-yeon joined in and answered, Kim Seon-hwa smiled and said.

    “Oh my~ Then the adults should go too~”

    Before class, Jihoon Park put his bag down on the desk.

    “hi.”

    “Looks like the habit isn’t going anywhere, I see you going early.”

    Jihoon and I were the only ones in the classroom.

    I leaned back on the chair and stretched.

    “I don’t know, dad picks me up at this time.”

    “Me too… Ugh…”

    Jihoon, who hung his bag on the bag hanger, nodded and spoke seriously.

    “I want to learn modern martial arts.”

    “Mixed martial arts?”

    Jihoon nods his head seriously.

    “why.”

    “It’s embarrassing to lose to a woman, so I can’t do it.”

    “You idiot, am I a woman?”

    “The problem is that other people think that way…”

    “Okay, just work hard.”

    Sometimes I watch modern fighting on YouTube without my dad knowing, but it’s a lot different from the way it was in the past.

    And our fighting methods in the past even seemed ineffective.

    I think it would also be fun to see Park Ji-hoon with a different fighting style.

    After turning on the phone again, when I saw Park Jihoon concentrating on the video,

    I could see that Park Ji-hoon was more serious than I thought.

    Before we knew it, spring had passed and summer was approaching.

    Park Ji-hoon started learning kickboxing first.

    Usually, the dismissal time for private elementary schools in Seoul is 6 o’clock. Jihoon chose the 1 o’clock dismissal time as he was missing his special sports class.

    Today again, Jihoon left school, and I was drawing with paints with teacher Go Minsu.

    Teacher Go Min-soo was looking at the picture with a serious expression as his drawing skills showed an overwhelming increase.

    “Si-yoon, why are you doing art?”

    “Don’t you have anything else to do?”

    “…..”

    It seems that Teacher Go Min-soo is not satisfied with my answer.

    “Is there something you want to do most?”

    Faced with a sudden barrage of questions, I stopped and thought for a moment.

    I told Park Ji-hoon to have a goal, but about what I really wanted to do…

    Until a few years ago, our targets were Taebaek and S Company.

    not now but.

    Currently, Hansung is swallowing up S Company without any hesitation.

    There seemed to be no need to interfere with S Company, which was collapsing on its own.

    In the end, after thinking about what I wanted to do the most, I nodded and said.

    “Hmm… rich unemployed person?”

    I’ve been busy living life, and I’ve been running without looking back.

    If you think about how you will spend your second life…

    After all, being unemployed and rich is the best, enjoying the moment and doing nothing.

    However, Teacher Ko Min-soo seemed to put a lot of thought into my answer.

    “Hmm… I guess it doesn’t matter if I do something other than art?”

    “That’s not true.”

    “why?”

    “Because I decided to succeed by doing what I’m worst at.”

    “…..”

    As expected, Go Min-soo, who poured everything into his paintings,

    His expression got worse, as if he didn’t like that I was making light of the painting.

    “Then… would you like to move forward with your goal…?”

    “how?”

    “There will be an international student art contest in a year. Do you want to give it a try? From there, if you win the gold medal, you will have to submit your work to a world competition held in Australia called ‘Bsa.’ If you win a prize there, your work will travel around the world.”

    Teacher Ko Min-soo speaks seriously.

    I understand your desire to raise me.

    Since he taught me a lot and poured a lot of passion into me, he must have thought a lot after seeing me develop at a rapid pace.

    You will definitely be greedy, and since you are young, your passion will be high…

    But as I said before, I don’t want to do anything that’s a hassle.

    “I won’t do it.”

    “…Because you want to live in peace?”

    “Yes. Because I don’t like being busy.”

    Teacher Ko Min-soo picked up a brush with oil paint and stamped it on the canvas, which is different from the watercolor painting I use.

    “Aren’t you already too busy for that?”

    “…..”

    Actually, because of the movie ‘Zombie’, which I filmed because I wanted to experience acting… audition invitations came from Hollywood as well.

    Although I rejected them all.

    “Si-yoon, if you just draw a picture… the teacher can send it to you…”

    The brush held by teacher Ko Min-soo, whose face exudes a good image as if he has never been angry.

    At the tip of the brush, he drew a turbulent landscape, as if expressing his emotions.

    “What’s the topic?”

    “…freedom.”

    I nodded wordlessly and continued drawing, and Teacher Go Min-soo silently corrected my drawing.

    I told my dad about the international competition, and he immediately created a workspace at home.

    I sat upright in a chair and stamped oil paint on the canvas.

    I’ve used it a few times, but it has a texture that is very different from watercolor paint.

    Brushes and paints that allow you to feel what emotions the artist was drawing.

    Unlike what I have seen and drawn so far, I drew the scene in my head without seeing anything.

    Unlike watercolor paint, it was fun because it moved more according to my thoughts than expected, and because of that, I consumed the paint at an incredible rate.

    Even the canvas I had disappeared quickly, and the paintings piled up in proportion to it.

    It was midwinter, and time passed quickly toward the end of my 9th year.

    Among the many rooms, one room is full of paintings.

    I asked to throw it away for organizing purposes, but my dad didn’t want to throw away my painting.

    “Ugh… then let’s hand out the fans.”

    “Oh!! After all, our daughter! Should we do that then?!”

    My dad and I began carefully wrapping each item one by one and signing them.

    A canvas with no title and only numbers written on it.

    It was a number to check how many times I had painted using oil paint.

    I’ve already turned 10, and as if to warn me that summer is coming soon.

    The once beautiful flowers were losing their power and decorating the streets.

    I was standing in front of the art room holding a canvas wrapped in paper that was larger than my body.

    “Are you Siyun?”

    “yes~”

    “Oh… what is that?”

    “Hmm… I thought about it… I guess it wouldn’t matter if I was somewhat busy.”

    Teacher Go Min-soo’s expression had not been good since a year ago when he told me about the international competition.

    The more my artistic talent blossoms, the more…

    However, upon hearing what I said, Teacher Ko Min-soo’s expression changed completely.

    “They say life is too short to brag about what you’re good at.”

    Mr. Ko Min-soo, who received the canvas from me,

    I opened the package carefully.
