After spending a wonderful night in Heena's embrace and getting a good rest, I woke up on Saturday evening.

I went to my parents' house to pick up the kids I had left there.

"We could have watched them for another day..."

My mother-in-law looked disappointed, but I was worried about Somang, if not Sarang. He's still so young that not seeing his face for more than two days feels like too much.

Still, we weren't in a rush either, so we stayed for dinner and spent a bit more time there. Even so, they seemed reluctant to see us go.

"Did you miss Daddy?"

"Yes..."

Whether she missed me or not, Somang clung tightly to my neck as I held him in my arms on our way home.

Having returned home with the kids, I was planning to stay in and rest thoroughly since tomorrow was Sunday.

"Dad! Remember you promised to play with me tomorrow?"

"Ah."

I suddenly remembered my promise to Sarang.

---

"Mom! How's this?"

"It's pretty~ So cute, so cute."

"Right?!"

Sunday morning. As I opened my eyes, I heard Sarang bustling about, getting ready to go out. Heena seemed to be helping her, while Somang was rolling around next to me.

"...Somang. What are you doing here...?"

"Lying down with Daddy."

"I see..."

-He rolled towards me, hugging his doll. I held Somang's body and patted him gently before slowly getting up.

"Ugh..."

I stretched big, feeling stiff, and left the bed for the bathroom. My body felt incredibly heavy. Every step felt like a thousand pounds, and I wanted nothing more than to collapse back into bed and sleep, but I couldn't.

From Friday to Saturday, Heena's all-night demands left my waist feeling like it might fall off, but I couldn't refuse when our adorable daughter wanted to play with me so badly.

As I trudged into the living room, Sarang was already perfectly ready to go out, waiting for me.

"Dad, are you up? Let's go quickly!"

"Just let me wash up... Wait, why is our daughter so pretty?"

"Really?"

It wasn't just flattery - Sarang, who approached me in one step with a bright smile, was incredibly cute. Of course, she's always pretty and cute, but even more so than usual.

She wasn't wearing anything particularly special. Light blue jeans and a white long-sleeved round-neck knit. With that, a brown shoulder bag and a black cap in her hand.

Even though it was a casual fashion I might have seen several times before, somehow the vibe felt different today. All the clothes seemed new - did she buy them recently?

Moreover, seeing how perfectly groomed she was from head to toe by Heena's hand, it really felt like she had prepared for a date.

I was truly relieved. It was great that she had prepared like this to go out with me, not to meet someone else.

"Isn't Sarang so pretty?"

"Yeah. You're so pretty I almost didn't recognize you. I was surprised."

"Hehehe... Dad~ Let's go quickly~"

"Alright. Dad will be out soon after washing up. And since our Sarang is all dressed up, Dad needs to prepare properly too."

"Then I guess I have no choice but to wait!"

My fatigue and sleepiness vanished completely. Sarang, seemingly embarrassed by my compliment, was clinging to Heena's sleeve and twisting her body. Seeing that made me smile.

How should I put it? I wondered if Heena was like this when she was younger. Should I say Sarang is a more emotionally expressive version of Heena?

As I stood there lost in thought for a moment, I could feel Sarang sneaking glances at me. That sight made me laugh inside.

Could it be that our daughter really came out on this date intending to escort me?

"It looks fun. You know, Dad watched a different cartoon like this when he was young."

"I saw that too! When they showed it on Sunday mornings!"

"Really?"

When I showed genuine interest, Sarang's bright smile returned as she started chattering away beside me.

Meanwhile, I bought two movie tickets for the nearest showtime, and we naturally headed towards the snack counter.

There's no way Sarang and I would come here without getting popcorn and cola, right?

Since we always ate the same thing every time we came to the theater, our order was set. As we approached the counter, a clerk greeted us with a smile.

"Hello, how may I help you?"

"We'll take a couple set. Caramel popcorn and two zero colas, please."

"Certainly! One couple set with caramel popcorn and two zero colas. How would you like to pay?"

"Here's my card-"

"Dad! I'll get this! Let me pay!"

"What?"

I was smoothly extending my phone to the clerk for payment when Sarang stopped my hand and offered cash instead.

I was momentarily stunned. The clerk, noticing our awkward interaction, smiled and accepted Sarang's money.

"Alright, I've received 20,000 won. Would you like a cash receipt?"

"Yes! I'll enter the number!"

Before I could say anything, Sarang finished the transaction by entering Heena's number on the keypad.

Still dumbfounded, I headed towards the pickup counter and spoke up.

"Hey, Sarang. Why did you do that?"

"Because it's a date! You bought the movie tickets, so I'm buying the popcorn!"

"But that's not..."

A Dutch pay date concept?

It seemed like Sarang, who usually spent her allowance frugally or saved it, had made a big decision for this moment. As her father, I felt proud and happy about that.

But still, I can't let my daughter spend more money. As a father, as a man out on a date!

"You know, on dates, the one who likes the other person more usually ends up paying a lot more. From now on, Dad will pay for everything~"

"Then I'll pay for the next one too! Because I like Dad way more!"

"No way? Dad likes Sarang more!"

"No!!"

Like a silly couple, we were exchanging such dialogue while waiting for our popcorn when...

"Um... Your popcorn... is ready..."

"Oh."

The clerk who had appeared in front of us was now the one looking embarrassed as they handed over our popcorn set.

I'm so sorry for the trouble...

(feat. Heena)

"Somang~ Are you drawing?"

"Yes..."

"Our Somang draws so well~ Did you draw Daddy and Mommy and Sister and Somang?"

"That's right. Here's Mommy."

"Oh my! It's so pretty! Did you draw Mommy this beautifully? Thank you~"

"And... here's Sister and..."

"Sister looks pretty too~ And?"

"Daddy..."

"Pfft... Do you miss Daddy a lot?"

"Yes..."

"Daddy will be back soon~ But when Daddy sees this drawing, he'll be so~ happy! Because Somang drew it so wonderfully."

"I'm gonna give it to Daddy."

"I see~ Daddy's so lucky~ Getting a drawing as a gift from Somang~"

"I'll give one to Mommy too."

"Really?"

"Yes..."

"Thank you! Mommy loves you so much!"

enjoy! :)
