32. What is love?
Afternoon baduk academy.
Yena was lost in thought as she placed the stones on the board one by one.
I am good at baduk.
But my grandmother and mother can't play baduk.
Then why am I good at baduk?
'Maybe my dad was good at baduk?'
Noon did not tell Yena about her father.
When the word 'Dad' was mentioned, Noon responded flexibly. Her thoughts about Jena naturally followed her mother's topic.
I wasn't really curious about my dad, and I liked that I could have my mom all to myself without having to fight with my dad. He was satisfied with the fact that he was her mother's forever mate.
It was like that for a while, but after becoming friends with Dobin, Yena started thinking a lot about her father.
Dobbin is a nice and good friend, but he talked too much about his family. Talking about her father always came naturally.
Dobin talks about his father casually, but from the perspective of Yena, who does not have a father, it was sometimes difficult to empathize with Dobin's story.
During Go study class, Yena asked while staring at her friend Dobin, who was only learning and not playing Go.
"What do you like about having a dad?"
Yena brought up her father first.
Dobbin thought for a moment with a happy heart and then said.
"Mom says Dad earns money so we can make a living."
So, does dad need to earn money?
Since my mom and grandma also make money, does that mean I don't need a dad?
Yena tilted her head and asked again.
"And what else do you like?"
"hmm... ... "I like it when I go to the pool."
"why?"
"Because I'm a man, I can't follow my mom when taking a bath. I have to go with my dad. "Like going to the bathroom."
"Then I'm a girl so I don't need a father? right?"
"huh. "I guess so."
Dobin nodded and looked at Yena as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Ah, but there's more. "I like holding you when I go to the hospital."
"Did dad hug you?"
"huh. "When I go with my mom, I just hold hands, but when I go with my dad, he hugs me like this."
Dobin pretended to hug the doll.
"Because Dad is strong."
The words Dobin had said so far were nothing, but hearing the hug made me feel like something inside my heart was melting.
Dad is strong and can hug you when you go to the hospital.
"Yena, when I become a father, I will hold the baby on the way to the hospital."
While Yena quietly nods, Dobin does not forget his appeal.
Yena, who couldn't hear Dobin's confession, just muttered to herself.
"huh. "I wish I had a dad too."
"Then should I ask you? "Ask my dad to do the same for your dad."
"Probably not?"
