Chapter 192
It was a warm morning bathed in sunlight.
On the playground of a daycare center near her home, Byeol was busy building a makeshift sandcastle with other kids her age. Although she wasn’t officially enrolled in the daycare, Byeol would often drop by to play on the playground or join in various activities with the older children.
“Alright, everyone, it’s time to head back inside,” the teacher, Han Ji-Hye, called out to the children.
“Yes, Ms. Han!” the children responded, their bright smiles lighting up their faces as they ran toward her in a cheerful rush.
The next day was the daycare’s field trip, and Ji-Hye planned to send the kids home early today with a flyer listing the items they needed to bring. Watching the children gather around Ji-Hye, Byeol blinked curiously.
Noticing her, Ji-Hye smiled warmly and said, “Byeol, you come along too.”
Ji-Hye knew who Byeol was and that this two- maybe three-year-old girl lived nearby in Changshin Villa. With a face that looked like it had come straight out of a fairy tale and a mysterious aura about her, Byeol was popular not only among the children but also with the daycare staff.
“Here, give this to your dad.” Ji-Hye handed Byeol a flyer. It detailed the daycare’s plans for the field trip to Maebongjaesan Park, along with a list of items to prepare.
Byeol took the flyer and read the title aloud, carefully enunciating each word. “Field... twip... guide. Items... backpack, lunchbox, dwink, snack. Don’t... foget... to pack all items.”
Her eyes widened upon realizing what this meant.
“I can come too?” she asked, surprised.
Ji-Hye nodded with a smile.
