Junwon, who had worked together like brothers with Minje, a colleague from the daycare center for almost 10 years, stealthily tiptoed through the garden, muffling his footsteps.
The creaking sound of the entrance door opening and closing echoed, revealing Jiho’s figure.
“Sir, over here.”
Jiho spoke in a hushed tone, shaking hands. It was like scenes from a spy movie, with cautious movements.
“What happened?”
In sync, Junwon, who had also lowered his voice, examined Jiho’s face.
“Well, I can’t get caught by my sister.”
With round eyes glancing anxiously around, Jiho spoke. Junwon had no idea what secret Jiho was hiding. So, squinting his eyes, he stared at Jiho’s face. The child hurriedly added, fluttering his hands.
“Sir, I have something I want to ask.”
“Sure, go ahead.”
“To become friends with a man and a woman, what should I do?”
“Huh?”
Seeing Junwon’s bewildered expression, Jiho, who was now more composed, gestured and spoke.
“So, ways for adult men and women to become friends.”
Junwon couldn’t come up with words to say. How could he explain ways for adult men and women to become friends? That was not something easy to talk about.
Suddenly, most of the thoughts that came to mind were not beneficial to the child. Junwon let out a bitter laugh.
“Hmm? Sir, I thought you would know.”
Seeing that Jiho looked even more confused than him, Junwon scratched his cheek. Perhaps the child believed that the divorced 40-year-old Junwon naturally knew the answer to his question.
‘The most challenging thing in the world is the relationship between men and women.’
Junwon couldn’t bring himself to answer like that and racked his brain to find something to say. Seeing the child asking such a question, his thoughts were vividly apparent.
As someone who knew all about Minje and Jiho, Junwon didn’t have any opposition to the child’s thoughts. In fact, he was more in favor. The affection Jiho showed for Ha-yeon was exceptional.
However, that was different from answering the child’s question. What on earth should he say?
Ahem, first, Junwon cleared his throat and tried to express himself as diplomatically as possible.
“Well, you know, adults, men and women, become friends by spending a lot of time together.”
“By spending time together?”
Looking at Jiho’s gaze filled with questions, Junwon felt cold sweat.
“So, you have to spend a lot of time together.”
“But Dad is busy and doesn’t have much time. What should I do?”
Unaware that his plan was halfway exposed, Jiho fell into contemplation. Junwon was still at a loss because he couldn’t say the words that Jiho was thinking. The best way Jiho thought of for men and women to become close was through ‘skinship.’
“Well… there’s a sports day at kindergarten in a few days, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Well, there’s a good way to approach that.”
“What is it?”
Junwon hesitated for a moment, wondering if this was appropriate. However, when he looked at Jiho’s face, his concerns disappeared like bubbles. It seemed natural for an adult to help when a child was so earnest.
Whether it’s good or bad is a matter for the individuals involved to decide, so there’s no need to worry too much. Having reached that conclusion, Junwon whispered something to Jiho.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.
“What are you doing here?”
Ha-yeon appeared, and the two of them screamed in surprise at the unexpected sound.
“Ah! Wh-what a surprise!”
“Wh-why is my sister here?”
It was as if their hearts had jumped out. This is why people can’t live after committing a sin.
Seeing the confusion on both of their faces, Ha-yeon, with a sly smile, greeted them.
“Hello, Mr. Kim. I was just looking for Jiho since I couldn’t find him.”
“Well, I came out to look for him and happened to meet Jiho, so we chatted.”
The word ‘happened’ seemed heavily emphasized for some reason. It made the situation even stranger.
“Oh, yes. Now that I’ve confirmed where Jiho is, I’ll go back. I didn’t mean to disturb your good time.”
Ha-yeon politely spoke while hiding her true feelings.
“N-no, it’s not like that.”
“W-well, not really.”
When Junwon clapped his hands, Jiho nodded along.
Ha-yeon unintentionally smiled as she looked at Jiho’s blushing cheeks. She couldn’t understand why both Mr. Kim and Jiho were so transparent. With such faces, they probably couldn’t lie for their entire lives.
“Alright, then. Let’s go inside together.”
Smiling sweetly, Ha-yeon turned and went inside. At times like this, it was polite to act like you didn’t know.
Junwon and Jiho, thinking that Ha-yeon hadn’t discovered their plan, sighed in relief.
Then, the two who locked eyes exchanged meaningful glances, as if asking each other when they had been startled.
A few days passed, and the day of the sports day arrived.
“Wow, one, two, three… How many layers of lunchboxes are there?”
Ha-yeon exclaimed when she saw Miran skillfully constructing lunchboxes from the early morning.
“Why are you so surprised? You need this much to enjoy the taste properly when you unfold and eat it somewhere.”
