201 Daddy's too strong. 200.

early dawn

The sun is starting to rise dimly.

Dojun came out to the veranda and captured the scenery of dawn in his eyes.

It's a landscape I've always seen, but depending on the season, the feeling varies slightly over time. The security guard, stretching out and sweeping the floor with a sari-bi, bowed to each other as their eyes met with the milk delivery man. The clothes of those who were short-sleeved changed into long-sleeved ones, and the leaves began to fade.

Scrape!

Dojun saw a new crack appearing five kilometers away. October is the month when cracks open the most among the year. Dojun sensed the size and energy of the crack and roughly estimated the grade. Maybe, that's about class D. I've heard that by this time of year, officials and hunters in the Crack Management Department will be busier than usual.

a squeaking sound

Of those who were sleeping in the master bedroom,

The first thing that happened was the star.

Wearing the rabbit pajamas bought by Yong-yong, Moon Byul came out to the living room, nodding her chocolate bread. Byul always kept some chocolate bread under her bed like emergency food, and Dojun was laughing because he looked cute.

"Hot."

Byul, who met Dojun's eyes, quickly hid the chocolate bread behind her back.

I rubbed the chocolate around my mouth with the sleeve to sell it. Seol Yoon-hee told him not to eat snacks before breakfast, but he destroyed the evidence because Do-joon was afraid of getting caught.

Looking at Byul coming out of the veranda, Do-jun grinned and lifted the baby up.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Woong. Abba-on-jae, are you getting better?"

When Byul opened her mouth, a strong smell of chocolate wafted.

Byul must have felt it, so she covered her mouth, and Do-jun smiled.

"I'll keep it a secret from my mother. But if possible, eat chocolate bread after breakfast. Do you understand?"

"Bee Mill, right?""

"Sure. Finish what's left."

Ung!"

Only then did Byul take out the chocolate bread she had hidden and chew on it.

I looked at Hakase and Kiriel, who were preparing for the sale of the cart. From early dawn, the two were working on replacing the old vinyl in the cart.

Kiriel, replace it from here. I'll go that way.

Byul who was listening to the conversation between the two.

asked Dojun, pulling at his sleeve.

"What's that dog named Abba Gyo-ha?"

At this time of year, children were listening, watching and learning from all around the environment.

Dojun easily explained the meaning of the word "replace" that is still difficult for Byul.

"It means you're changing."

"Gle Ku Na."

Lizard. It's torn.

You stupid bastard! It's because you pull it by force!

Why are you cursing at me!

From early dawn Hakase and Kiriel roared in front of the cart.

"What's ge laal doing?"

Dojun put his forehead on.

***

The existence of a child was simple, yet quite complex.

Han Ji-hye, a day care teacher at a day care center, was a veteran who worked here for more than 11 years and took care of countless children. Today's morning class is word matching class. It was a class where children were shown picture cards, asked what the corresponding pictures were, and the children answered.

"Everyone, what is this?"

A fluttering cape and triangular panties worn over a chewy top.

The letter S is engraved on the chest of a man with bursting muscles.

The children raised their hands, shouting 'Me!' Han Ji-hye grinned and stood up in place, raised her hand and pointed to the little girl, who was jumping about.

"Yes, Hyo-joo, tell me."

"Superman!"

"That's correct."

"Hehe."

Lee Hyo-joo sat down smiling as if she was in a good mood.

"Do you really have Superman, sir?"

"Yes. Superman is a hero who shows up and saves us when we're in danger. It's always with us."

A boy who listened to their conversation with his chin on his hand.

He crumpled his face as if he didn't like it, and said in a pathetic tone when he looked at the children.

"Where in the world is Superman? It's a made-up story. Everyone~ Adults are lying."

Choi Young-hoon, a boy, said, "The atmosphere in the classroom was calm.

"No! There's a real one! You said you had a teacher!"

"Fool. Do you really believe that? Then prove it to me. Call Superman and I'll trust you."

Choi Young-hoon grinned.

Then, Han clapped her hands and called the children's attention.

"Come on, boys. Don't fight. It's time to go out and play. I'm going to eat at 12, so come in before then."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Children run out to the playground in front of the daycare center with cheers.

Choi Young-hoon, who remained alone, was watching them play in the playground as if he didn't like it, and soon joined their ranks with a sigh.

A barrel.

children playing with rubber balls

Choi Young-hoon thought they were pathetic.

In this rough world, how on earth did he intend to live?

"The adults are all liars."

Whole!

The rubber ball rolls in front of Choi Young-hoon.

"Younghoon, throw me a ball!"

"Don't be there. Let's play together!"

Choi Young-hoon was staring at the ball.

Holding the ball, I trudged towards my friends.

Then, the ball game began as soon as the ball was blown the ball.

"Wow! Younghoon is good at kicking!"

at the height of one's frolicks

As always, a crisis came without warning.

Scrape!

a sudden crack

The crack sucked at the things around it.

The children floated in the air as if they were being led by a strong magnet.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The entrance to the huge crack that swallowed the children had vanished like a lie.

***

When I woke up, there was a monster in front of me.

A muscle mass monster with green skin that easily exceeds 10 meters.

With a club as big as his body in his hand, it was Ouger.

It was a desolate forest area where the children were. The children, who were taken to a place they had never seen before, were shaking with fear.

"Well, what is that...…?"

"It's a monster..."

"Mom! Argh!"

When a child burst into tears, children around him followed suit.

The same was true of Choi. But soon he stopped crying. I realized that crying doesn't solve the situation. Furthermore, somehow the monster in front of his eyes did not attack him. Only, slowly. It comes very slowly up this way.

"You fools! Run away quickly!"

Choi Young-hoon shouted.

But the children couldn't move because they were numb with the fear of Ooger.

So did the children, as if they were paralyzed when they encountered a tiger in the mountains, and some people died of a heart attack in severe cases. I couldn't lift a finger.

Choi Young-hoon, who pretends to be fine, was also paralyzed in his senses.

He was just a little less afraid than other friends.

Ooh ooh ooh!

It's only three meters away from the kids.

It was then that Ooger roared.

At the same time, it was also the moment when Choi Young-hoon's string of reason, which remained fine, snapped.

To flop.

"Oh, ah, ah, ah...."

I couldn't stand up anymore because my legs were shaking.

In the meantime, Choi opened his arms wide. It was a threat of its own to the coming Ouger. Don't come any closer. Stay away from your friends.

"Do, help me...…."

Anyone is fine.

Superman is a hero who saves us when we are in danger. It's always with us.

"Help me..."

The flowing tears blocked the view and the auger began to appear blurred.

Then, on the left, there was a loud crack in the window. In a hazy view, someone appeared in front of Choi Young-hoon.

Sweep.

I rubbed my sleeves around my eyes.

Only then did my vision become clear.

What I saw in front of me was the back of an adult man.

The man punched lightly, boom!

Ooger, who was staring at his friends like he was going to kill them.

It was an instant to fly away that far away.

Swoosh.

The man looks back.

Superman... ...was not.

Neither did he, he had no cape and no Superman's trademark.

Not even in tights. But he's dressed like any other office worker.

"I'm fine now."

The man patted Choi Young-hoon on the head.

Only then did Choi drop his arms open.

At the sight, the man smiled.

Without saying anything, he raised Choi Young-hoon up.

"......man."

"Huh?"

Choi Young Hoon is pouting.

"Shuh, it's Superman."

His eyes glistened.

***

Han Ji-hye, who was preparing lunch.

I was embarrassed to see the children coming into the classroom.

She hugged her with tears and runny nose and explained what happened.

Suddenly, he was taken somewhere, met a monster, and a man saved him.

"......what?"

Is there a crack or something?

However, I didn't smell anything.

Besides, if it had happened, there would have been a disaster broadcast.

"......huh?"

Choi Young-hoon, who sticks to the window like a gum and looks at the entrance of the daycare center, comes into view.

After lunch.

In the afternoon, I had a class to write down my future career network.

A class in which one expresses one's dreams with pictures in a sketchbook.

Scientists, police, presidents, entertainers....

Various occupations are expressed in cute pictures.

Then, Han Ji-hye's hand stopped for a moment, and her eyes rested on a picture.

A man in a white shirt and a black tie.

It was a picture of a green monster hitting with his fist. Choi Young-hoon is the one who drew it.

Unlike other children, he felt mentally mature.

"......."

[Long Hope: Superman]

Where in the world is Superman? It's a made-up story. Everyone~ Adults are lying.

What do you mean the kid who said that in the morning class wanted to be Superman?

It occurred to me that I knew but didn't know about the existence of a child.

***

After work, Dojun came to the bathhouse near his house.

On Friday, Do-jun dropped by the bathhouse in the sense of sometimes wrapping up the week.

After taking a shower, take a bath in a 45 degree hot bath. Hot heat spreads all over the body. Dojun, who crosses human limits far and wide, had little sense of being hot or cold, but at least he could feel that the water had heat.

Yes, Dojun can accept that sense whenever he wants.

"You hold out for a long time, lizard."

"Are you tired? You can go out if you're tired."

With Dojun in the center.

Hakase and Kiriel, fighting for pride on both sides.

Dojun gently closed his eyes and thought he shouldn't have brought them.

On his way to the bathhouse, he begged me, saying, "I miss you!" So I had no choice but to bring him, but Do-jun was regretting it.

"I'm not tired at all."

"The same goes for this body."

"Then let's change the sport. By diving. For your information, I can dive for 100 seconds."

"Only? This body, 200 seconds."

"In fact, I can do 1,000 seconds."

"This body is 5,000 seconds."

Hakase and Kiriel growled at each other, glaring at each other.

"Lord of the Earth, please be the judge. We need to make sure who's more superior."

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

Dojun sighed.

"You guys..."

Pointed to the children's room where the children were playing in the water.

"Go play over there."
