Chapter 196
Who was the coolest person in the world?
There was only one person that Yong-Yong could think of. It was undeniably his master, Do-Jun.
Of course, Do-Jun wasn’t conventionally handsome, but his greatest charm was in his aura. Watching Do-Jun read the newspaper, sip coffee, or occasionally gaze out the window often made Yong-Yong wish he could emulate that vibe.
What could he be thinking?
His gaze appeared inscrutable to the average person, as if his thoughts were out of reach. It embodied the pinnacle of an ideal image Yong-Yong had once aspired to—the noble and dignified air of someone observing the world from great heights.
So cool, he thought.
Yong-Yong wanted to be just like Do-Jun.

Lately, Byeol had started waking up well past 10 AM.
She used to wake up without fail when her favorite cartoon, Pororong, started at ten. However, since learning she could rewatch it anytime through on-demand TV, she began lazing in bed for another thirty minutes to an hour before getting up.
Byeol squirmed in bed before turning toward the spot where Do-Jun had been lying. Taking a deep breath, she could smell her dad’s scent, which felt warm and comforting. She then threw off the blanket, sat up, and briefly dozed off, nodding her head as sleep threatened to reclaim her.
Rubbing her eyes, she slowly slid off the bed. Reaching her small hands under the bed, she fumbled until she found a crinkly object to pull out. It was one of her favorite snacks—Choco Pie.
