Chapter 66: Not Enough

Chapter 66: Not Enough

May I call you my son-in-law?

Then, can I call you father?

I felt a bit of a connection with the father, just like I did with Eunwoo Hyung.

I was relieved. I had worried he might not like me and asked us to break up.

Even if he had said that, we would have continued our relationship in secret.

Hahaha! Yes! Thats great! Its refreshing to see such heartiness.

Arent we disturbing you on your rare day off?

Not at all. Dont worry about it. Honestly, its my first time seeing my daughters boyfriend, so its quite fascinating. I should take a good look.

Father looked at me intently.

I straightened my back and smiled slightly, looking up at him.

I tried to look as respectful and dignified as possible, meeting his gaze.

Well, what kind of questions should I ask my daughters boyfriend?

Feel free to ask. I wont lie.

What if I ask something difficult?

Then Ill honestly say its hard to answer.

Ha! I like your honesty. Then, Ill start with what Im most curious about.

Sure. Please ask.

I wonder if hes going to ask about my parents?

No, its probably too early for that kind of question.

What is my dream? Thats a bit hard to answer.

I havent decided on a career yet.

How far have you and my daughter progressed-

Daaad!

Eun-ha, who was sitting next to me, quickly covered Fathers mouth.

Why would you ask that-! Really-!

Daughter! As a father, dont you think thats a reasonable question?!

We havent crossed any student boundaries, so dont worry! Were dating properly, like students should!

If thats the case, Im relieved. But still, as a father, Id advise you to date properly like students should.

Well keep that in mind. You dont need to worry.

He didnt say it gravely, but I chose to take it seriously.

But when he said to date like students, he must be referring to how it is in high school, right?

Hahaha! Dont take it too seriously. But do keep it in your heart.

It seemed right to take it seriously after all.

He wasnt frightening but spoke kindly, a clear indication he was Eun-has father.

His gentleness and consideration were palpable.

Are you hungry? Lets order some food. Dont worry about the price.

Yes, I understand. Eun-ha, lets order.

Oh, the flatfish sashimi from the restaurant near our place is really good. Id like to have it after so long.

Then, Ill go out and get it to-go.

Eh? No, let Eun-ha go.

Okay. Han-gyeol, lets go together.

No need for both of you to go. Eun-ha can go alone.

Its bittersweet and admirable, a fifth grader asking to go home because her parents looked tired. We thought wed go back another time and just went home. But since then, whenever I suggested going to the amusement park, she refused. She didnt want to disturb our rare moments of rest.

Eun-has kindness and thoughtfulness had been there since she was young.

It was a part of her charm, but somehow, it also felt a bit sad.

Since then, she would say its okay even if she wanted something or wanted to do something as a family. She would say its okay to speak her mind, but how could she, raised by parents like us? She would just nod her head, saying it was all right. And youre telling me she suggested going to the amusement park? That really makes me happy. Thank you for indulging my daughters whims, for showing me this new side of her.

I felt a bit shy at his words, but it was a good feeling.

I dont think Im just indulging Eun-has whims. It might be me who is being indulged. Whenever Im even slightly down, Eun-ha goes all out to cheer me up. Im just returning what Ive received to Eun-ha. Its not her whims; its the kindness and consideration she learned from her wonderful parents.

At my words, father just stared into my eyes, speechless.

Is that so? I appreciate you saying that.

No, Im the one who should be grateful for being accepted to date a person like Eun-ha.

Hahaha! Is that so?! Well then, keep up the good relationship.

Yes, dont worry. Ill make sure shes happy and take responsibility.

As I smiled contentedly, the sound of the door locks keypad being pressed came from the entrance.

With a click, the door opened and Eun-ha rushed in.

Dad! There was no flatfish, so I bought flounder!

Eun-ha, who dashed into the living room and sat next to me, immediately checked on my well-being.

Han-gyeol, did Dad say anything weird?

Daughter, does your dad look that unreliable?

Brother always says weird things to Han-gyeol.

Is your brother the same as Dad?

Exactly the same...

Daughter?

Despite her fathers questioning look, Eun-ha stared intently into my eyes.

He only said nice things.

Really? He didnt make it difficult for you?

Yeah, you came back really fast.

I told you Id be quick~

Eun-ha beamed a bright smile.

Since Eun-ha bought it, Ill set the table.

No, lets do it together.

No, its rare for you to be home. Its nice to spend time together.

Right, right. Daughter, how far have you two progressed- Uh!

Eun-ha sprang up like a spring and covered her fathers mouth.

Why would you ask that-! Well handle it ourselves, okay?

Now that you mention it, daughter, what are your plans for children?

Ugh, dont ask that! Thats still a long way off-!

Youve thought about it?

Eun-has face looked like it was about to explode at her fathers counter-question.

Finding her so adorable, I playfully chimed in.

Eun-ha~ Id be happy with just the two~

At my words, Eun-ha puffed up her cheeks and looked at me.

Then she whispered softly.

For me, thats not enough.

At Eun-has words, I froze.

What?
