My Daughter Has Become A Fool

Chapter 11

Episode 11. Real Sweetness@@@@

“Whew..”

I was so absorbed in admiring Yeondu’s beauty that I almost missed the train.

Fortunately, we managed to board the train just in time.

“Thank goodness. Our seats... we can sit here.”

“Yeondu, do you want to sit next to Dad?”

“Yeah. Next to Dad.”

“Hehe.”

Yeondu giggled softly.

Soon, the train departed.

“Wow.. why does she look so pretty?”

“Oh my. Look at you smiling. You’re truly an angel~”

“We should hire her as an actress in the future. She’d be a hit as a child actor..”

At this point, I really should start wearing a mask everywhere.

Yeondu’s appearance attracted much more attention than I had anticipated.

Wherever we went.

Well, not that I took it too seriously.

“Yeondu has received nothing but hatred until now.”

Yeondu had endured years of misery and hatred from her trash-like uncle.

So, I wanted Yeondu to know.

That she could be loved wherever she went.

“Even if it’s because of her appearance.”

I already knew that.

Her appearance was just a part of Yeondu.

Yeondu was inherently a lovable child.

And it wasn’t just me who felt that way.

“The guys know it too.”

Beomjae, Juyeon, mischievous Donggeon, and the rest of the guys knew how genuinely beautiful Yeondu was.

Not just on the outside.

But I was aware that there were aspects of Yeondu I didn’t know.

Because of the years she spent with her uncle.

And it was my role to embrace all those aspects.

As a father.

“Ha ha, thank you for looking at Yeondu so nicely.”

“Your name is Yeondu?”

“Yes.”

“Oh my, Yeondu wearing Yeondu.”

The people around us laughed at the lady’s words.

Seems like dad jokes work anywhere.

“Yeondu, if you get sleepy on the long journey, you can lean on Dad and sleep.”

“Yes! But I’m not sleepy now!”

“Yeah. If you get sleepy later, you can lean on Dad and sleep.”

“Can I lean on you even if I’m not sleepy?”

“Of course.”

Thump.

Yeondu smiled widely and rested her head on my arm.

With this, she’ll fall asleep soon. Even her nape looked adorable, making me chuckle.

‘By the way..’

I suddenly remembered something from earlier.

Why did Seo Ji-hye get angry? It was the first time she reacted like that.

I recalled the situation from earlier.

Yeondu had said something when Ji-hye first arrived.

“There’s... someone behind Dad.”

Wait a minute. Dad?

Come to think of it, Yeondu called me Dad. She did it then, and she has been doing it since.

Could it be that she misunderstood and got angry because of that? No, even if that were the case, it wouldn’t justify her anger.

Since Ji-hye and I had no emotional connection, it wouldn’t be enough reason for her to get mad.

‘It’s strange..’

Maybe she wasn’t angry because of that, or maybe I misunderstood her reaction.

Instead of pondering alone, it would be faster to talk later.

I don’t know if I’ll have the chance, though.

Click.

At that moment, something eye-catching entered through the end door of the train.

Tug, tug, tug.

A man entered, dragging a large suitcase behind him.

I immediately knew what he was selling.

‘They still sell these these days.’

Meanwhile, Yeondu looked up in surprise.

I smiled slightly and spoke.

“Yeondu, are you hungry?”

“A little.”

“Shall Dad give you a real treat?”

“A r-real treat..?”

“Yeah.”

I don’t think I can understand what it means, but Yeondu nodded.

Well, it doesn’t matter. You’ll naturally know once it’s in your mouth.

What real honey taste is.

Crack, crack.

When the cart passed by, I stopped.

“Sir.”

“Yes?”

“I’ll have six boiled eggs and two sodas, please.”

“Thank you. But aren’t you going to buy dried squid? It’s delicious too.”

“Then just give me one of those too.”

The man smiled and handed me the order.

“Yeondu, have you ever tried boiled eggs?”

Yeondu shook his head left and right in response.

“I haven’t tried it. Is that the real honey taste?”

“Yeah. That’s the real honey taste.”

Boiled eggs are a must when traveling on a train for a long time.

If my memory serves me right from when I was young, boiled eggs eaten on a train are much tastier than usual.

Crack. Crack.

There was a cheerful sound of the shell being broken.

Yeondu watched in amazement.

Now it was time to show Yeondu what the real honey taste was.
