Reunion.

To be honest, I started to like a woman named Jisoo.

From the face to the gag code, it matched me.

If I had a strong surname, I would even think about marriage and even the names of my grandchildren.

As I continued to cling to Jisoo, she was receiving envious looks from those around her.

Dad smiles and asks me.

“Siyoon-ah, do you like Aunt Jisoo?”

I answered with a straight face at my father’s voice.

“what.”

“…Hmph.”

Jisoo, who was watching the conversation between me and my dad with a smile, took me in her arms and started playing a game on her phone.

In a game that I thought was just a video, the character moved according to the direction Jisoo moved.

‘Wow… look at the technology.’

“Do you want to do it too, Siyun?”

“Auntie, are you going to get scolded by dad?”

“oh…”

Jisoo looked at her father’s gaze.

“When Si-yoon asked me to play a game… I thought that was all he would do… I showed him a video on his cell phone when he was young, and he was fascinated by it, and that’s all he watches ever since.”

“My dad is young, so he lets me play games when I start elementary school.”

“Si-yoon… What are you talking about to your dad?”

I pretended not to notice and looked at the game Jisoo was playing.

It was like a game where you had to avoid the decreasing magnetic field, survive, and come in first place.

I watched the game for a while, and then I felt tired, so I approached my dad.

“Are you tired Si-yoon?”

“My leg hurts. Massage it.”

Dad made me sit on his lap and massaged my thighs.

“It’s cool~”

“Is that so?”

After a brief conversation, I passed out.

Everyone spoke cautiously for fear that Siyun would wake up.

“Si-yoon is so pretty, isn’t she?”

“Thank you… Wait a minute, Si-yoon, lie down.”

Jisoo said while waving her hand.

“No, we can stop here today.”

“Ah… shall we do that then? I think it would be better for Siyun to sleep at home too.”

Rize nodded from the side.

“Okay~ I’ll practice the rest~”

“Good job everyone, go in and rest.”

“”Yes~ Thank you for your hard work~””

After finishing cleaning the studio and the girl group members left, only Kim Ji-ho and Siyoon remained in the studio.

Kim Ji-ho started organizing the recordings alone, holding Si-yoon in his arms.

I moved carefully in case Siyoon woke up.

Then someone knocked on the door.

“Oppa! Aap.”

Ji-eun was about to call out loudly, but when she saw Si-yoon sleeping in Kim Ji-ho’s arms, Ji-eun quickly covered her mouth.

And Ji-eun, who was watching, spoke carefully.

“Si-yoon… was sleeping.”

Kim Ji-ho, who looked at Si-yoon’s face for a moment, nodded and answered.

“Yeah, I’m going to clean up and go.”

“I was going to ask you to hang out with the Dreaming kids once they’re done.”

“Guys, it’s over. You’ll be there when you go to the dorm.”

“Really? I understand, you did a good job too~”

“Yes, go in~”

Jiho carefully headed to the parking lot while holding Siyoon.

As C-19 worsened, my father, who had strong protective instincts, did not let me out at all.

As there seemed to be no sign of an end, my father set up a studio in the house.

I spent my time making songs with instruments with my dad, going to the swimming pool with Dayeon, or taking online classes at kindergarten.

In 2021, I turned 6 years old.

It seemed that our society had already adapted to the repeated epidemics of C-19.

In kindergarten, children were admitted with parental consent.

The rest of the classes were held virtually.

-“Si-yoon, you should look at the screen.”

A young teacher appeared on the laptop.

“My eyes are getting worse.”

-“It won’t get worse if you look at it for a while.”

The class taught by the young teacher was a drawing class…

To be honest, he’s worse at drawing than me.

-“Now, please draw what you see on the screen~”

I turned the pen and drew quickly.

In kindergarten, we had to take this type of class for 4 hours a day.

“Siyoon~ Are you finished?”

“huh.”

After hearing my answer, Dad came out to the living room and sat on the sofa.

My dad doesn’t go out because he’s afraid he might catch C-19 and pass it on to me.

I rolled around in my bear pajamas and watched my dad cook.

My dad started watching YouTube cooking shows and started making various foods.

He told me that if there was something I wanted to eat while watching YouTube, he would make it for me.

I sat at the table without answering and concentrated on drawing Alpha and Beta.

As I spent time with Dayeon’s family in the apartment, 2022 quickly approached.

In the meantime, I became a star through the songs I released with my dad and the child model photos I took.

And now that he is 7 years old, C-19 has completely ended, and he can finally go to kindergarten again.

“Siyuna~”

“why.”

Dayeon, holding a comic book, blushes.

“Did you see Basketball on the Camino?”

“no?”

“You really have to see it! It’s amazing!”

Ever since I showed her the animation, Dayeon has been obsessed with Japanese cartoons.

“okay?”

“Yes, Camino… it’s so cool…”

“delicious?”

“…It’s cool.”

I opened the novel, thinking that I had led Dayeon down the wrong path.

– I am Ando, a manager.

“It’s completely Japanese?”

Dayeon has been with me for a long time, her English has already reached a perfect level, and she is learning Japanese through comics.

“huh,”

Dayeon’s reading speed is much slower than mine, but she reads calmly.

I was considerate of Dayeon and slowly turned the pages of the book.

“It’s difficult…”

“It’s because I was young.”

“Siyuni too… she’s young?”

“Um… I’m a mermaid.”

Maybe it’s because I’m going through growing pains, but sometimes my body throbs.

As Da-yeon and I sat together with different body proportions, the air felt different from the other side.

On the other side, kids were fighting over toys.

‘I guess that’s normal…’

But I have no intention of acting like that.

As we grow older, our young teachers age rapidly.

‘It’s a lot of hardship.’

I said while looking at Dayeon.

“Where has the unfortunate Antonio gone?”

“ah!”

Dayeon, who had a serious expression on her face, quickly took out a rabbit doll wearing lace clothes from her bag.

“ご(Gomen), Antonio!”

Dayeon’s Japanese seemed to show off her cuteness.

Dayeon holds the unfortunate Antonio in her arms and reads him a book.

“Camino is… the light of the siren.”

“…?”

Dayeon was fascinated by Japanese comic books, so she explained it to Antonio.

“It’s similar. Camino is.) Wow~”

I read it in Japanese and spoke to Dayeon, who was smiling brightly.

“Hmm… Antonio is British, so maybe he doesn’t know Japanese?”

“Heh!? Antonio! You couldn’t understand… until now?”

Dayeon suddenly became serious and started translating into English.

I was amazed at Dayeon’s language skills that were improving day by day.

The young teacher clapped his hands, attracting the children’s attention.

“A new friend arrived today~”

A little boy with an annoyed expression.

They say you shouldn’t judge a person by their appearance, but he looks very naive and stupid.

“My name is Jihoon Park. Everyone, please welcome me~”

“”Wow~~~””

The clothes were also luxury goods.

The kids here have met their parents well.

“Jihoon, have fun with your friends~”

As the young teacher walks back with a horse, the new kid’s reaction is unusual.

“…Why are you with these little kids… Hey, you two…”

Before the boy named Park Ji-hoon spoke, the word ‘sipul’ was clearly visible from the shape of his mouth.

I looked at Park Ji-hoon for a moment.

The tone of voice, that expression, and especially that gaze are all very familiar.

When she spots me, she nods to herself, muttering, “You’re pretty,” then takes the blanket to a corner and lies down.

The young teacher was embarrassed and approached Park Ji-hoon, who was lying down.

“…Jihoon?”

“I’m going to sleep, don’t touch me too much.”

“…..”

Feeling a sense of déjà vu, the young teacher looked at me for a moment and smiled awkwardly.

As I kept my eyes on Park Ji-hoon, Dayeon looked at me like that.

While I was watching Jihoon Park, a big boy who was playing with a toy stepped on Jihoon’s foot.

It was the same little boy who stepped on my foot when I was first sleeping.

At that time, the little boy cried alone, but now, three years later, his reaction was a little different.

“Why are you sleeping here?”

A big boy swearing at Jihoon and hitting him with his toy.

Then I heard a murmur.

“Haa… what a brat… he really is…”

“You! What did you say…”

Park Ji-hoon grabbed the leg of the toy that was hitting him and slammed it against the drawer.

Park Ji-hoon is holding the leg of a shattered toy.

“Go before I stuff it in your mouth.”

A big kid with hiccups.

Park Ji-hoon said, throwing the toy leg to the back of the drawer.

“That kid is really… annoying.”

Seeing that reaction made it clear.

In the past, a young student tried to steal my lighter and was severely beaten by my subordinate.

Perhaps because he is the type of person who cannot live with losing, the student, who had caught his breath, bit off his subordinate’s ear with a bloody face.

The subordinate who lost one of his ears took out a knife, but the young student looked at me with eyes completely devoid of fear, and that was the beginning.

He told me that he would be by my side until the end, that he would protect me, and that if he couldn’t protect me, that he would die with me…

An asshole who died faster than any of us.

Even as he fell after being stabbed with a knife, he grabbed his feet saying he would not let him get to me, but was hit in the face with a blunt object and caved in.

Even though he couldn’t even speak because all his teeth had fallen out, he told me to run away.

That’s why the idiot I cherished more than anyone else is lying in front of me.

While I was muttering and looking at the little boy named Park Ji-hoon, Dayeon whispered to me.

“Ignorant…”

Dayeon looked like she had seen something dirty, but tears began to form in my eyes.

“Really…? Haha… I wasn’t the only one who came…”

“Siyuna?”

“I wasn’t the only one who came to the future…”

And then I approached Park Ji-hoon, who was sleeping.

“Fuck… I wasn’t alone.”

Park Ji-hoon must have sensed my presence and deliberately made louder breathing sounds to show that he was sleeping.

I kicked that idiot hard in the stomach.

‘Cuckoo!’ There was a sound, and the surroundings became quiet.

“Whoa!”

Park Ji-hoon, chuckling at the strength stronger than expected,

The kids who saw that cheered for me, who was number one in their ranking.

“Ha, fuck, Jin…”

Park Ji-hoon became speechless after seeing my crying face.

“Why are you crying?”

Jihoon said in embarrassment.

“Why are you crying when you hit me first? I’m going to go after you because I feel unfair.”

“Haa… are you… Jaehyeong?”

The little boy’s pupils shook violently.

“…uh?”
