Mr. Jung Il Hwan picked up the call even before the signal rang three times.

[Vice President. Did you call? I heard you won’t be coming to the office today.] “I have a favor to ask. Mr. Jung, you used to work for an event company, right?”
Looking at the relentless rain outside the window, Chae Ha clearly stated his request.

As Woo Joo’s doelike eyes, filled with immense anticipation, came into his sight, he pulled up the corners of his mouth.

Until now, he hadn’t attached much significance to his position and wealth.

But now, he felt like he could use it quite effectively.

For a special existence that was oneofakind in the world.

Two hours later, when Chae Ha’s house door opened, a flood of children poured in.

The adorable group dressed in bright yellow uniforms were heading towards the rooftop.

“Wow!”
“Wow~ It’s a forest! There’s a forest!”
“Hehe~ It’s so huge~!”

Upon receiving Chae Ha’s message, the teachers who had escorted the children from Ippal Nursery were left speechless at the sheer scale of it all.

They had already anticipated from the entrance, but once inside, the rooftop’s size was truly enormous.

Inside the giant dome set up to prevent the rain from entering, a forest, as the children put it, had been implemented.

Between large trees, there lay a soft artificial grass field and a makeshift hut reminiscent of a fairy tale.

Although the animal dolls placed here and there were not real, they were enough to capture the children’s hearts.

Moreover, a red mini train that followed the dome’s outer edge was not less than any amusement park.

Also, in one corner, carts filled with children’s favorites like cotton candy and ice cream were lined up.

By now, the teachers were literally at a loss for words.

“Oh, you’ve arrived.”
Chae Ha, who just happened to be at the end, came over and greeted them.

In the face of his always imposing presence, the nursery teachers hesitantly opened their mouths.

“Hello. We were told to come to Woo Joo’s house, so we came….”
“Yes. Since it was raining and we couldn’t go on a picnic, I thought we’d change the picnic site.”
“Oh. Ah… But where’s Woo Joo?”
“He’s over there. He said there was something he wanted to do.”
Just as he mentioned his name, from the corner where Chae Ha had been, Woo Joo suddenly poked his head out.

“Eh? Rabbit Class Teacher! Turtle Class Teacher! Wow~ My friends really did come for a picnic at Woo Joo’s house!”
“Is that so? The Giant Uncle was right, huh? Do you like it?”
“Very, very much!”
At Woo Joo’s innocent smile, the teachers burst into laughter time and again.

This was because Woo Joo was dressed as a tiger.

With a convincing tiger costume and even tiger patterns drawn on his face, he looked quite complete.

Soon, the children who discovered his look gathered around Woo Joo.

“Wow! Woo Joo has become a tiger!”
“Where, where?”
“Really? Me too! Me too!”
“I want to be a rabbit in the forest!”
“Then I’ll be a deer! Attach antlers too!”
“Uh, kid… kids…”
Suddenly everyone wanted to be animals.

As the nursery teachers wore contemplative faces, Chae Ha gestured with a grin towards the back.

There, Director Jung and a few employees were waiting for the children with various animal costumes and makeup tools.

It took mere seconds for the children to rush over with screams of delight.

Soon, the forest created inside the dome was filled with baby animals showing off their cuteness and bravery.

The pouring rain was soon drowned out by the children’s happy shrieks.

“Now, our friends. It’s time to go home.”
“Mr. Woo Joo here has prepared gifts for our friends. Now, let’s thank him, shall we?”
“Thank you~!”
All the students of Ippal Nursery bowed to Chae Ha in unison.

Next, Director Jung handed out new toys to the children one by one.

Seeing the children who had played merrily, eaten their fill, and received toys, a sense of pure admiration surfaced.

“Woo Joo is lucky. He has a cool dad~.”
“Indeed. Woo Joo’s dad is the best!”

“Hehe, it’s our Great King Uncle!” Woo Joo, the little one, rubbed the tiger whiskers smeared all over his face with a shrug of his small shoulders.

At this, his friends giggled and then suddenly asked with a puzzled look.

“But why is he ‘Great King Uncle’ and not ‘Dad’?”
“Yeah, isn’t that uncle your dad, Woo Joo?”
“Uhm?”
“Come on, kids. It’s time to go home, don’t you think your moms and dads are worried?”
“Right, Ha Yool. Your mom has come to pick you up.”
Sensibly separating the kids, the teacher offered greetings to Chae Ha.

One by one, the baby animals, who had filled the rooftop with regret, began to depart.

And in the midst of that forest, there stood a tiny baby tiger, Woo Joo, standing dumbfounded.

Chae Ha, noticing his condition, quickly approached the child and squatted down to his height.

“Hey, little one, what’s wrong?”
“Uh, Great King Uncle….”
For some reason, Woo Joo’s expression was unusual, so Chae Ha didn’t rush him and waited for his next words.

However, Woo Joo said something completely unexpected.

With his steadfast eyes, resembling mine, he said.

“You know, Great King Uncle. Can’t you be our dad?”
“……!”
It felt like a blow to the gut.

Something that I was desperately wishing for, Woo Joo had voiced it out first.

“Huh? Great King Uncle. Woo Joo… I like you.”
His tiny, fernlike hands fiddled around in Chae Ha’s large palm.

At his adorable gesture, Chae Ha’s senses were about to fly away.

“I am……”
The words “I am already your dad” had risen up to his throat.

But he could not bring himself to voice it out.

Considering the child and Min Seol Won, who could become confused due to his emotional outburst.

So, Chae Ha put forward a compromise, blending the child’s wish and his own desire.

He felt that he wouldn’t be able to bear it if he didn’t do it this way.

“Alright, little one. Let’s combine ‘Number 6 Dad’ and ‘Great King Uncle’ and call me ‘Great King Dad’ from now on.”
Seeing the child’s eyes light up, Chae Ha broke into a smile too.

Who knew the term ‘Dad’ could be so delightful.

After Min Seol Won and Woo Joo entered his world, it felt like flowers were finally blooming in his previously barren life.

Soon, Woo Joo called out his newly christened title with a lively voice.

“Alright! Great King Dad!”
