Chapter 182 - 182 - Don't Be Nervous
Kindergarten.
Jo Yeon Ho kept looking at the empty chair. Both parents should have occupied the chair, even though the event was about to begin. His face looked very lackluster.
Earlier, Dae Hyun said goodbye to outside for a while, but until now he didn't appear. Jo Yeon Ho was getting saddened lest her father didn't love him anymore.
"Good morning, welcome to the guardians of the students. Thank you for agreeing to be present at today's event. Alright, we will soon open the program," the host said, who was already on the stage.
Jo Yeon Ho kept his head down by playing with his fingers without listening to the host's resounding welcome.
The event has also started with the first event being a welcoming ceremony for parents by female students who dance traditional Korean dances.
Dae Hyun had asked permission to leave the hall because he would be waiting for Soo Yin who was already on her way. The man was already standing at the gate leaning his hand on the side of the post.
Actually, Dae Hyun hesitated to ask Soo Yin to come there. Moreover, there was anxiety in his heart. But he could only ask his little wife for help.
It didn't take long before a car pulled up right in front of him. Dae Hyun immediately approached the car because he already knew that it was the car driven by Chung Ho.
"Do not come close!" Soo Yin said before setting foot on the ground. Didn't let everyone know their relationship because of her husband's carelessness.
"Be careful, a little," Dae Hyun said. About to reach out his hand grabbed Soo's wrist but Soo Yin brushed it off.
"Haven't I said many times, don't make me like a sick person," Soo Yin said by narrowing her eyes.
"Okay." Dae Hyun immediately moved away.
Dae Hyun and Soo Yin walked side by side with a little distance between them towards the hall where the event was taking place. Soo Yin asked Dae Hyun to walk first so she can follow the steps behind him.
The hall was cheerful with applause resounding in the room. One by one the students who had passed this time came on the stage to say goodbye together.
Jo Yeon Ho kept staring at his feet because every time he saw an empty chair it made him sadder. He looked so discouraged until the host asked all the students to look forward and Jo Yeon Ho lifted his chin.
Dae Hyun and Soo Yin were now sitting side by side. Soo Yin was excited to see Jo Yeon Ho on stage. She waved her hand when Jo Yeon Ho made eye contact with her.
Jo Yeon Ho was immediately excited when he saw his father and Soo Yin have arrived. Widened his smile until rows of teeth showed. Now Jo Yeon Ho was back in his spirits again.
"Yeon Ho is very handsome," Soo Yin said while continuing to clap her hands following the others.
"Of course, it's because his father is also very handsome," Dae Hyun said with his eyes fixed on the stage.
"You are too confident," Soo Yin sneered as she rolled her eyes.
"That's the fact. If not, how could I have two wives," Dae Hyun said with a wink.
"Kim Soo Hyun is much more handsome," Soo Yin said.
Dae Hyun turned to Soo Yin when he heard the vague words that come out of his little wife's mouth. This was enough to make him jealous.
"Really? No matter how handsome his face he will not succeed in getting my little wife," Dae Hyun said with great emphasis.
"What if one day I change my mind?" Soo Yin teased.
"That won't happen. Only I can touch you," Dae Hyun said in a cold tone. The grooves of his jaw muscles seemed to tighten.
Soo Yin pinched Dae Hyun's thigh hard enough that the man winced in pain. Soo Yin was furious that her husband's self-confidence was too high.
"Where is Aeri? Why doesn't she come to this event?" Soo Yin asked to change their conversation. Didn't let anyone eavesdrop on those sensitive chats.
"I don't know, Yeon Ho said she went to her mother's house but I'm not sure. But it's much better that she didn't come so that later I will easily give her the divorce papers," Dae Hyun said flatly.
"What do you mean? You're going to divorce her?" Soo Yin was quite stunned to hear Dae Hyun's statement.
"Of course, I want to immediately divorce her so that the three of us can live happily," Dae Hyun said, about to rub his wife's stomach but Soo brushed it off.
Soo Yin raised a glance that there were several people who seem to be watching them. Maybe they already know if Jo Yeon Ho's mother was Aeri.
"Watch your attitude, look some mothers watching us," Soo Yin whispered with a straight look forward.
"Leave it, don't bother," Dae Hyun said casually as he crossed his legs. His right foot overlaps the left.
Soo Yin shifted her chair a little away from Dae Hyun. His intimidating gaze made her uncomfortable. She felt like the accused.
"Alright, now we will enter the core program. We will call the students one by one to come forward. We hope the parents get ready to accompany their children," the MC said in a voice that echoed through the microphone. It didn't feel like the event had been going on for quite a while.
Soo Yin caught her breath to get rid of her nervousness. Repeatedly inhaling deep breaths from the nose then exhaling from the mouth. Even cold sweat ran down her palms.
"Why do you look so nervous?" Dae Hyun said with furrowed brows.
"This is the first time I've represented parenthood at an important event like this." Soo Yin looked around the hall maybe Aeri had come so she didn't have to. Moreover, the gazes of several women made her very uncomfortable.
"There's no need to worry. We just need to move forward then it's done," Dae Hyun said to convince Soo Yin.
Now some students have come to the stage to be awarded graduation certificates.
