173. [Side Story] Children Grow Up (1)
After a satisfying day, the couple returned home.
Even though I was busy with work and didn't pay much attention to him, my child was growing up very quickly. As I spent time laughing and being amazed at the new expressions my child would casually blurt out, it was soon time to go to bed.
"Yena said, changing into her pajamas.
"Dad, I'm going to count down to twelve o'clock."
"Do you know what a countdown is?"
"Yeah! 10, 9, 8, 7, that's it."
"That's late at night. Yena has to go to bed at nine."
"I won't sleep well today."
Following Christmas Eve, today too. The energetic children seemed to have some kind of romantic dream about staying up all night.
"Well, do you think Mom will allow it?"
"Dad, tell Mom."
"Honey, my daughter goes to bed at twelve."
Ji-heon relayed Ye-na's position to Jeong-oh. As expected, Jeong-oh's reaction was not favorable.
"why?"
"I'm going to count down! When the New Year hits, I'm going to bow to Mom and Dad!"
Yena is doing a New Year's bow.
Ji-heon, who had never received New Year's greetings from his daughter, felt a pang in his heart. Jeong-oh, who noticed Ji-heon's surprised expression, also suggested an alternative to Ye-na.
"It'll be hard to stay awake until then. Then go to sleep for now. Mom will wake you up."
"Okay! Then wake me up one minute before twelve. No, wake me up five minutes before. Got it?"
"But Yena can't wake up from her sleep. Can Mom tickle Yena?"
"No. No tickling."
"Then how do I wake him up?"
"Shout in my ear."
"What if I yell at you and you don't wake up? Can I pinch you?"
"huh."
"Don't cry because it hurts."
"huh."
After reaching an amicable compromise with her mother, Yena went to bed feeling good.
So, five minutes before midnight.
The important role of waking up Yena fell to her father.
"Princess Yena, you should wake up. It's five minutes to twelve."
Mr. Jeong Ji-heon, Yena clearly told you to shout in her ear.
If you whisper so sweetly, how can Yena wake up?
As expected, Yena didn't move at all, and Ji-heon moved on to the second stage.
Mr. Jeong Ji-heon approaches Yena's flabby body with his clenched hands.
"Yena. Jeong Ye-na."
From Noon's perspective, all I could do was sigh.
"Is that pinching? How can a child wake up like that?"
Noon pushed Ji-heon away and sat in front of Ye-na.
Thump thump thump.
"Jeong Ye-na, wake up! You have to watch the countdown!"
