89 Dad's too strong. 88.

Streetlights illuminate the dim street.

Do-joon and Kwon Hyuk-soo sat side by side on the bench under the street lamp.

The night view of the Han River and the city, as you can see from the front.

Kwon Hyuk-soo opened a can of beer in his hand.

A beer froth that rises with a squeaking sound.

Breathe out a long breath after a gulp.

Do-joon, who was watching from the side, picked up a can of beer and drank it.

The carbonation goes down with a cool scratch on the neck.

"It's a place I find when I have a lot of thoughts. Empty your thoughts and stare at the night view......... I mean, it sort of sort of sort of sort of sort of sort of sort of sort of sort of sort of sort of Ironically."

Dojun didn't put all fours on the horse.

He is just staring at places like Kwon Hyuk-soo.

Come to think of it, it was the first time Kwon Hyuk-soo personally asked to drink.

So I couldn't refuse. Because of the complicated look on his face when he asked me to drink.

"You said your daughter was 17 years old."

Dojun nodded.

"I think you're amazing. Raising a child alone......... I can't imagine it. Especially at that age, he's in the midst of course."

To raise a child.

It was unthinkable for Kwon Hyuk-soo.

Starting next week, I had to babysit a 4-year-old child of a relative living next door.

It was only for the evening, but I wondered if I could handle it.

"Because I'm selfish......... it's hard for me to take care of myself. I'm worried if I can do well or if I'm a nuisance. When I get home from work, do I have the power to take care of my child?"

Kwon Hyuk-soo laughed and drank beer.

"I don't know. You'll do well."

When Dojun returned from the midfield and first went to the crack management department.

All the other employees ignored Dojun, but Kwon was different.

He taught me the basics step by step, and silently worked with me no matter how busy I was. So that it melts in Dojun's office.

"And... ...if you were such a selfish person, you wouldn't have bought a book."

A book placed next to Kwon Hyuk-soo.

in a plastic bag

Dojun thought, gulping down his beer.

I met a really good person.

***

After seeing a text message saying she was going home after drinking with her co-worker, Seol had dinner with the dragons.

It was a relatively simple side dish, such as seasoned deodeok, sausages, and fried eggs, but the food she made always tasted good.

Boiling, bubbling.

"We had dinner.

Yongyong looks into the pot where bean sprout soup is boiling.

After finishing the dishes, I wondered when I saw Seol Yoon-hee buying a bunch of bean sprouts from a mart in front of her house and making soup. He seemed like he didn't have to make soup even though he wasn't going to eat rice.

"I'm making a hangover soup for you."

"Haejangguk?"

Master Izaa. Haejangguk means soup that you eat to relieve hangover soup means soup. Asparaginic acid in bean sprouts is said to be effective in detoxifying alcohol. Maybe it's just for the owner to drink too much.

......well, detoxification.

He's not poisoned in the first place.

I wondered if it was necessary to decipher it.

Yong-yong kept quiet about that part, saying that he could not sprinkle ashes on the cooked rice.

"It's the master."

Yong-yong pricked up his ears.

As the elevator opened, I could hear someone's footsteps.

Now Yong-yong is on the verge of being able to guess whether it's Do-jun or not just by the sound of footsteps.

Yong-yong, who rushed to the front door, waited for the door to open with his tail fluttering.

in a burst

"I'm home."

"Hot-ha, traveler. Take my quiz to get through this road! In the morning, my legs...…..

"People."

Yong-yong spread his front feet to both sides and started to give quizzes.

Dojun naturally takes off his shoes and walks into the living room, saying the answer.

Yong-yong froze on the spot with a slight shock.

It took him two hours to figure out the question that Carthiel had asked.

"Hello, Master."

Carthiel bowed his head and greeted politely.

Dojun smiled and stroked Karsiel's head.

Carthiel smiled cheerfully.

"Welcome, Father."

"Yes. Haven't you had dinner yet?"

"We ate."

"But why the soup...…."

"You said you were coming for a drink, so......... for your hangover....... Don't you like bean sprout soup?"

When Do-jun showed no response, Seol Yoon-hee looked at him with anxious eyes.

If I knew this would happen, I should have made dried pollack soup," said a source of regret.

'Hangover......'

Do-joon, who first entered the state of being impervious to reading.

There was nothing to be taken. due to the internal organs circulating in the body.

But he didn't express himself.

"Thank you. Thank you for the food."

***

Meanwhile. First floor in the center.

After Dojun returned, the star left alone approached him.

When Byul was bored playing alone, she would spend her time talking to the Wisdom Tree, who always talked to her. The tree of wisdom is so knowledgeable that it knows everything.

Korea is a country where a human named Dojun Lee lives. You know he's from Earth. But Lee Do-joon gave you a name.

"Woong."

I'm sure you said star. That's a name that suits you.

"Goma language. Modern itjana. I'm going to go to a one-gug and I'm chic."

The star cried as he recalled Dojun.

Draw Dojun's face on the dirt floor with a small stone held in his dainty hand.

The star that drew his eyes crooked, it was all over the place!You muttered something.

I cried when I saw the finished face.

"No and no."

then

The star's drawing was erased.

A tree root stuck in the floor peeped out to the surface.

Roots began to paint as if they were hands.

It was Dojun's face.

Star. It looks like this, right?

"Wow!"

Lee Do-joon, drawn by the Tree of Wisdom.

It was a perfect match for what the stars saw.

It was recreated that he looked cold and had a warm feeling.

The star grinned at the tree of wisdom.

"A lot."

Star. But...To tell you this, Dojun Lee is a dangerous person.

"Danger?"

The Tree of Wisdom showed a video of what happened at the tutorial stage.

Eliminating the Militant's Fossil, breaking down a weapon and gaining a skill-enhancing ring that no one had gained, killing Uroboros and gaining a black status window.

Last of all, Shin Hwa-jong, tore Lai Kahr with a single gesture.

Ever since the birth of the center, I have seen countless adventurers who say they fly and grow long, but this has never happened. It can't happen, it can't happen.

I was sure that if he made up his mind, he could destroy the ecosystem in the center. Star, I'm not sure yet, but if he's evil...….

"Oh, I'm the only one who'sorry.

Byul said, word by word.

It was a sign of discontent with the tree of wisdom.

Lee Do-joon gave himself a name.

I played with him all day long.

I hope he lives on Earth as it is.

"I made an appointment with Bree. They're coming back."

..........

"Won't you come, Azure?"

***

Dojun who puts rice in bean sprout soup and eats a spoonful.

Along with chopped cheongyang peppers, the spicy soup was art.

Although there was no hangover, it was the best.

Do-joon was in awe of Seol's increasing cooking skills.

".........."

Dojun who stopped eating.

She looked at Seol Yoon-hee, who looked at her with a subtle smile.

In fact, Dojun knew what she wanted.

I want you to say it's delicious.

"What do you say?"

"Delicious."

In that short word.

Seol Yun-hee had the happiest expression on her face.

It is a series of restless days where they do various chores such as cleaning, washing, and making dinner after finishing the academy's hard schedule.

A word of praise from Do-joon seemed to relieve my fatigue.

In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that she lived to hear this word.

"Well, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

Seol Yoonhee got up and went into the room with something.

He carefully placed it in front of Dojun.

It was a family newsletter.

"Mathematics trip?"

A four-day school trip to Busan.

Looking at the itinerary, it was simple.

It seemed to be part of the field trip, such as exploring the site of the first crack and participating in the International Hunter Festival to be held in Busan next week, but participation was half-autonomous.

"Please sign here."

"Huh?"

Where Seol Yoon-hee pointed her finger.

There was a compartment for parents to sign or seal.

When Do-jun looked up a little bit and looked up, a circle was drawn where he did not want to participate.

"You're not going?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

School trips are the flowers of my school days.

Of course, it depends on your will whether you participate or not.

As a parent, Dojun wanted his daughter to experience what she could enjoy in school just like other children.

Then Seol Yun-hee pushed in.

Item four there.

4. B shall be faithful to the housekeeping during the term of the contract...….

"When I go on a school trip, I can't stick to the lyrics."

Why

Will it seem happy?

No, is that a misunderstanding?

Apparently Seol Yun-hee was smiling.

Dojun sighed.

"Go, go, go."

"Yes, yes?"

"There's no such thing as a bad father who won't let his daughter go on a school trip because of family business."

"Well, but I...…."

Seol Yoon-hee was about to cry.

It's not that I don't want to go on a school trip.

I wanted to go with a frank heart.

But it was better to stay at home than that.

Because there were Dojun, Yongyong, and Karsiel at home.

However, Do-jun's expression seemed firm.

"......please do me a favor."

"Yes."

"Welcome..." Do you have to come out?"

Dojun nodded.

"I'll see you off."

Only then did Seol Yoon-hee's face become bright.

***

the day of the school excursion

The academy's playground was packed with large chartered buses.

In addition to Do-jun, there were quite a few parents who saw him off.

"Well, I'll be right back. Father."

"Yes. Have a safe trip."

"Make sure you eat well while I'm away. I made dinner side dishes for 4 days in the fridge, so you can heat them up in the microwave. Okay? And I'll clean and do the laundry after I get back, so leave it there and put what you ate in the sink, and I'll wash the dishes after I get back."

"Thank you."

Dojun patted Seol Yoon-hee on the head.

"Well, I'll be back."

"Yes. Oh, take this."

"This is..."

It was a duffel bag.

But it weighed quite a bit.

"Hey, there's something in it. Father?"

***

After the bus leaves.

Dojun looks at the empty playground for a while.

I take a step to go to work.

I think about what to do alone for 4 days.
