"Dad, what's going on? Aren't you busy today?"

"I carved out some precious time for a date with my daughter."

"Please. If you have time like that, spend it on Mom. I think she's getting close to menopause—she nags me about everything lately. You should pay her some attention, Dad."

"I'm handling that with the cash envelopes your mother likes."

"I like those envelopes too~."

Son Yu-ri was happy.

There hadn't been a day like this in a long time.

Her dad was hard to catch on a normal day, and he'd called her out to a hot restaurant in Gangnam.

Her father worked as a director at Lee & Jang, and he was busy even on weekends.

He'd taken over from her retired grandfather and was running the top law firm in Korea.

"After we eat, I'll bestow a thick one on you."

"Thank you~ Papa!"

"Yu-ri... I think I liked it best back when you used to sit on Daddy's lap begging for treats."

"Waah! Not treats!"

Son Yu-ri pretended to cry, then saw her dad's face and broke into a big smile.

He was busy, but he'd always been a family man.

Outside, people said Lee & Jang was a legal outfit that cared about nothing but money, but Son Yu-ri didn't believe it.

Her dad was kind.

He never threw his weight around as the head of the house.

Things were good with Mom, too.

He worked a lot, but it was all for the family.

Thanks to it, Son Yu-ri and her brother had grown up comfortable.

"Yu-ri."

"Yes~ Dad."

"Isn't there anything you want to tell your dad?"

Before their food came, Son Dae-gyun asked gently.

"L-like what?"

Son Yu-ri was flustered.

Sometimes Mom and Dad both seemed to read her mind.

"A romance, for instance..."
