The Return of Superman - Kim Family (Hyunji Version)

9.

Note:
Sad to hear this morning that Seo Ye Ji will be deactivating her fancafe account. :( It's the only place we can receive posts from her directly. But I'm sure this was done with a lot of thought and I really hope she is okay, protected by GM and her loved ones (including *erhems* Mr Kim)

We've been blessed with updates from the two of them over the last two days. Hopefully, we get some updates on V-day and his birthday! This chapter was inspired by Park Jin Woo's experience in TROS. 

Soo Hyun's phone rings while he drives to the next location.

Narrator 2: Oh, is it Omma?

"Chingu-ya! Are you still alive? Did you manage to even sleep?" asks the person on the phone.

Narrator 1: That voice sounds familiar! Who is he?

"What a sarcastic remark! If I'm dead, I won't be able to receive your call and even talk to you! I'm driving now, I will pass the phone to Ae-ra. Help me entertain the kids while I drive! Ae-ra ah, your favourite So Ju Sam Choon is calling!" Soo Hyun said while passing the phone to her.

Narrator 2: So Ju Samchoon?

Camera zooms into the phone showing the video call.

Narrator 1: Its Park Seo Jun, one of Soo Hyun's close friends in the industry! So, he is So Ju Samchoon! Haha! Soo Hyun-ssi must have told his friend that he is joining the cast of 'The Return of Superman' and Seo Jun-ssi is checking in on him!

"Annyeong Ae-ra ya, nomu yeppuda! Aigoo Ha-Junnie, you have grown so much!" Seo Jun exclaims.

"So Ju Samchoon, when are you coming to play with us? Will you bring me more presents? Yesterday, Appa brought us to play with sand, and we built a huge castle which we can all stay in, it was fun!" Ae-ra continued.

Ha-Jun starts babbling and lifts his hands, trying to get hold of the phone that Ae-ra is holding. It was as if he wants to speak to Seo Jun Samchoon as well.

Seeing that, Ae-ra shifts the phone towards Ha-Jun allowing him to "speak" to Seo Jun Samchoon. He laughs as Seo Jun continues to engage him in conversation. Seo Jun asks him a few questions in a baby voice and continues to coo when he sees a cute Ha-Jun blabbing, as if answering his questions.

"Ae-ra and Ha-Jun ah, have fun with your Appa! I'm sure he will bring you somewhere fun later! So-Jun Samchoon has to go now, I will visit you soon! Stay healthy! Ae-ra can you pass the phone back to your Appa please?" Ae-ra bids her goodbye to Seo-Jun and passes the phone back to her father.

"Chingu-ya, I got to go back for my shot. I will catch up with you soon! Take care and Hwaiting! Hope the surprise tonight works out well!" Seo-Jun said, ending the video call.

Narrator 2: Surprise?? Has it got to do with what we saw in the sneak peek for today's episode?

After a few minutes, Soo Hyun exclaims, "We have reached!"

Narrator 1: Soo Hyun Appa seems more excited than the kids. I wonder where he is bringing them.

Soo Hyun unbuckles and frees Ha-Jun from his baby seat. He proceeds to put him into the baby stroller and carries Ae-ra in his arms.

"Ae-ra ah, this is a kid's café! Look, you can play with anything that's in here!" Soo Hyun explains as they make their way into the café. Similarly, the camera crew had to make special arrangements to film the family so as not to attract unnecessary attention. Soo Hyun booked the private room in the café so that his children can experience what it is like to play in a kid's café.

"Whoa! So many balls! So many slides and toys!" exclaimed Ae-ra as she saw the ball pit, trampoline and play area.

Soo Hyun brings his children to the ball pit. Ae-ra starts playing and throwing the balls around as soon as she makes herself comfortable in the ball pit, but Ha-Jun grabs on tight to his father, unwilling to let go.

Narrator 1: He must be afraid of the sound in the pit, and he probably has not seen so many balls before.

To let Ha-Jun acclimatise to the surroundings, Soo Hyun goes into the ball pit while carrying him.

"Ha-Jun ah, look, ball!" Soo Hyun starts playing around with the balls and passes one to Ha-Jun. Once he relaxes, and starts to touch other balls, Soo Hyun sits with him in the ball pit. Ha-Jun loosens up and gets comfortable in the ball pit as he starts to throw the ball around.

Ae-ra jumps around the ball pit, disappearing under the vast sea of balls. She starts playing around with Ha-Jun as she continues to jump around him. The place was filled with their giggles and babbles as they played together in the pit. Soo Hyun holds Ha-Jun carefully with both hands, leans his body down into the ball pit and does several sit ups, leaving his children laughing hysterically as it was as if they were playing peek-a-boo.

Narrator 2: Appa Soo Hyun really is the eldest child in the Kim family! Look at him enjoying himself with the kids! He really is a child at heart, but we have also seen how he loves and cares for his children as a father.

Narrator 1: Yes, and now he's actually having a full body work-out doing those sit ups while entertaining and playing with his kids!

Soon, Ha-Jun is comfortable enough to stand in the ball pit with his father's help. He sweeps and pushes the balls in his way and squeals in excitement as the balls fly around. Ae-ra goes around the play area to explore the other toys available.

She gets on a toy car and zooms around the play area, leaving Ha-Jun and Soo Hyun in the ball pit. Ha-Jun notices his sister zooming past with curious eyes. He points at his Noona and babbles for her. Soo Hyun carries him out and lets him try sitting on another toy car.

Ha-jun starts figuring out how the car works by turning the steering wheel, but soon realised that it was not moving the car forward. Soo Hyun starts pushing the car he was sitting on, allowing Ha-Jun to zoom past. Ha-Jun gives his signature eye smile and laughs when the car comes to a halt.

Narrator 2: It's fun right, Ha-Jun? He is so cute! Look at him smiling so brightly!

Ha-Jun's laughter can be heard whenever his toy car was given another push, and he lets out a grunt when the car stops as he is unable to move it further. Soo Hyun tries to push harder so that Ha-Jun can go a further distance, but this time, he loses his balance and slides down onto the mat. Ha-Jun looks shocked for a moment but regained his composure and starts to climb up the car again.

Narrator 1: Wow! He has good reflexes! And look at that, he is really into that toy car now. Even after he falls off, he still wants to get back up!

The children continue to play and explore the other toys until they get exhausted and decide to take a rest on the sofa in the room.
