Eunyul thought for a moment and first brought up something she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Wasn’t it difficult being with grandma?”
“It was okay except that I missed my dad.”
“Sorry.”
Sky shook his head at Eunyul’s apology.
“You promised that you would stay with grandma on days when dad is sick. are you okay.”
Since he had entrusted Haneul to Lim Bong-soon whenever the cycle came periodically, he responded quite dignifiedly. So I didn’t even know that I was even more sorry.
“okay. thank you.”
“Dad, put that block here.”
“huh.”
Eunyul opened her mouth as she placed her blocks on the castle that Haneul had built.
“I… … “Sky.”
“huh.”
As Haneul came and held something that could be a door, Eunyul lowered her head and looked into the child’s face.
It was cute to see the eyes concentrating on building a castle. However, since now was not the time to see and admire Haneul’s face, Eunyul forced herself to shake off her thoughts.
“There’s Uncle Kang Ha-jun.”
I already know that Haneul wants to embrace everyone, but I felt like I needed to sort things out at least once.
When Kang Ha-jun was mentioned, Haneul raised his head.
“You’re not my uncle. “You’re my dad.”
“ah… … yes. That’s right, Dad. That’s right, Dad… … .”
Eunyul shook her head and repeated what Haneul said. Then he looked at Haneul again and spoke quietly.
“Is it really okay for Heaven to be your father?”
I asked him if he accepted it in his heart beyond the fact that he was the alpha father who gave birth to Haneul. Eunyul seemed to feel sorry for me even though I brought up the story, so she brought another block and started fiddling with it.
“I’m sorry for not telling Haneul in advance. And I’m sorry for not being with you since you were born.”
Sky had no choice. From birth, all she saw was her omega father and grandmother, and there was no alpha father.
I thought maybe I was just thinking about myself too much. I shared these concerns with Lim Bong-sun and received comfort, but when she tried to speak directly to Haneul, her voice gradually became quieter.
“dad.”
The sky, seeing such grace, called to him.
“huh.”
“Does Dad hate Sky?”
“what?”
“Dad, was Haneul annoying?”
“no. Why are you saying that? “Why do I hate you and bother you?”
“So, was it difficult for you, Dad, to raise Haneul?”
“no. “It wasn’t difficult at all.”
These were thoughts I had never thought about while raising Haneul.
“Then that’s enough. I like my dad too. “It’s okay because my dad raised me alone and it wasn’t difficult.”
As it turns out, Haneul’s sudden questions had a reason. She was the same as herself when she comforted Haneul, who cried because there were no strawberries, and told her that her supermarket had wings.
“And now you have an alpha dad.”
“yes.”
“I also have a grandfather.”
“grandfather? ah… … “Great-grandfather.”
I wondered who he was talking about, and when I thought about it, it turned out to be my great-grandfather, Lee Hyun-seung.
“Can’t I just say grandfather? “Grandma is also a grandma?”
“that… … Let’s ask when we meet.”
“good.”
Haneul nodded and looked at what he had been making just now.
“Look at this. “I made it all.”
Seeing Haneul’s proud face as she was holding the castle made of blocks, Eunyul rubbed the child’s cheek.
“How can it be so special?”
My heart melted as I touched her soft cheeks.
“no. “If I keep doing this, I will lose my temper.”
Since Haneul couldn’t let go of her anger and only tried to stop her with words, Eunyul touched her cheek generously and then let go.
“Dad will clean up the rest.”
“Then I want to show this to Kang’s dad.”
Haneul left the room with his last name as if he couldn’t wait to show it off.
Eun-yul let out a long sigh as she heard the voice of the child calling Kang Ha-jun, who must have been nearby.
I think I can finally put my mind at ease now.

Hyun Je-ha saw Kang Hye-joo who came to visit him. Although she didn’t look like Kang Ha-jun, she had a strange similarity. She was so absorbed in the scent of her coffee that she seemed to have forgotten that she had come to run her business.
“They are all the same capsules, but why does the one you give me smell good?”
When I saw Kang Hye-joo drinking coffee while muttering that it was so amazing, her insides were very transparent.
“Nothing will change if you waste time like that. “What can I say?”
“Tina?”
“At least I didn’t come here to just have fun. “How much do you want the councilor to know?”
And I also know that it was Kang I-heum who sent Kang Hye-joo.
When Hyun Je-ha revealed that she knew everything, Kang Hye-joo did not hide it any longer. Rather, she revealed her frustration with a relaxed face.
“Tell me to be nice to my brother. And during the engagement ceremony, he asked me where I went and whether I knew Hajun was seeing someone else… … .”
Before coming to meet Hyeon Je-ha, I blurted out the words I heard from Kang I-heum.
“But how do you ask? “It’s not like I’m interrogating you about what’s going on between you.”
So I’ve only been drinking coffee a lot until now. She smiled softly as Hyeonjeha heard Kang Hye-joo’s pain.
Among Kang Ha-jun’s half-brothers, he was his favorite. She liked Kang Ha-jun, and he was bright, kind, and pure.
When I dreamed of a future with Kang Ha-jun, I also imagined hanging out with Kang Hye-joo, but now that won’t happen.
“I’m done with Hajun.”
“completely?”
“huh. And it’s also true that that person has a partner who is very lifeless.”
“Is it true that Hajun oppa likes someone so much? “I can’t believe I even got engaged.”
As Kang Hye-joo was shaking her head, Hyun Je-ha spoke in a calm voice.
“You know who your opponent is. “You can just ask.”
“Yes, but… … Would you like Ha-jun to tell me?”
“I think you’ll tell me.”
Even if no one else knows, what if it’s Kang Hye-joo?
“okay. I should ask my brother and ask him to meet me. only me!”
Kang Hye-joo, who is quick-witted, has said that she will not attract those who do not like Kang Ha-jun, including Kang Yi-heum.
This is why I liked Kang Hye-joo.
“Now Ha-jun, you don’t have to be nice to me because we will never meet again.”
“okay? That can’t be helped. But I will still be nice to Jeha oppa. Regardless of who Hajun oppa is, I like him. “He can come visit often from now on, right?”
When Kang Hye-ju acted as if asking for permission, Hyeon-jae responded with a smile. Because she was distant from Kang Ha-jun, I thought she wouldn’t be able to see Kang Hye-joo often, but that wasn’t the case.
“But you also saw that fiancé, right?”
“huh.”
“how is it? I’m so curious. Are you calm like your brother? Are you quiet like Hajun oppa? Or is Hyuk just rebellious like your brother?”
“hmm… … .”
As for Eunyul’s personality… … .
Hyun Je-ha thought for a moment and then said.
“It’s similar to you, but a little more… … .”
How should I express it?
“It’s delicious.”
“Gusu?”
Kang Hye-joo acted as if asking why such an explanation was given, but then quickly changed to a curious expression.
“Now that you say that, I want to see you more.”
How similar is it to me?

Eun-yul and Kang Ha-jun looked down at Haneul’s sleeping face. It was just about time after watching Haneul show off the castle he made out of blocks, having dinner together, and then taking a shower.
While listening to Haneul’s heavy breathing, Eunyul glanced at Kang Hajun.
“How did you feel when Haneul called you dad?”
In response to Eun-yul’s question, Kang Ha-jun recalled the time he hung out with Haneul today. Sky called me dad the whole time. He wasn’t even participating in the kindergarten event, but the child said he was the father.
At first he paused, wondering if it was calling him, the second time he was confused, and the third time he answered happily.
“good.”
“Just that?”
Just by looking at their facial expressions, it seems like they are just not at a good level. When Eun-yul asked back with a suspicious look on her face, Kang Ha-jun covered her eyes with her hand. And Eunyul also lifted her lips in a smile that seemed to relieve tension.
“I love it so much that I can’t think of anything else. “I feel like my mind has gone blank.”
Since my mind was empty, I understand why he didn’t say anything other than good.
“Well, I was like that too.”
