Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family

chapter 9



9 – I’m the only one who calls Sol-yi

Blue Sky Kindergarten with the motto of educating children’s thinking and creativity through play education. Proved through

Only children from families who have received a letter of recommendation from their graduate parents or who have passed the document screening and interview can enter Blue Sky Kindergarten.

It can be said that this is the most prestigious kindergarten in the area.

“Teacher, teacher! Who are you talking to? What are you talking about?”

“Byeong-ho, wait a minute, the teacher is on the phone with your mother, so would you like to stay over there for a second?”

“Teacher! Does the teacher have a mother too? Even though you are a teacher, do you still have a mother?”

“Everything, of course teachers have mothers. Hyungmin Min, let’s go play over there with Byeongho? The teacher will go right after the phone call… “

“Teacher, teacher! Chaerin says her grandmother is 100 years old! When a person is a hundred years old, she must die, but are you lying? Right?”

“I’m not lying!! You are right!!”

“Haa… “

But no matter how good they grow up in a good family, no matter how good their education is, these are children between the ages of 5 and 7.

All day long, they talk nonstop, run around, and if they take their eyes off of them, they’ll have an accident somewhere.

‘It’s a complete hell.’

My first impression after entering kindergarten was exactly that.

A child wearing her mother’s bra around her waist, not sure why she brought it from home.

A child diligently cuts the kindergarten curtains with the scissors she just learned.

A child who falls down and grabs his leg and cries, and a child who makes a mummy out of bandages to heal him…

“… It’s a real spectacle.”

Having to live with these pit bulls for two years already makes me feel tired.

“Araya, you go in first and say hello to your friends. Hansol has to go see her mother and the director.”

“Yes. Sol, see you later? When you come, I will introduce you to my friends.”

After waving her hand and seeing Ara disappear among the children, I headed to the director’s office with Han Seung-ah.

As I looked around the kindergarten on the way, I was in awe.

This Blue Sky Kindergarten was a fairly large building with less than 100 children, and it was neat.

There was a large sand playground at the back of the kindergarten, and a fairly large garden at the front.

In addition, the annex next to the main kindergarten building was a gym equipped with various exercise facilities that parents as well as children could use.

Although I had never been to a kindergarten before, I knew that this Blue Sky Kindergarten was definitely different from other kindergartens.

“It is a very large kindergarten.”

“Yes, even the lady was surprised when she first came. She’s Auntie, she never went to kindergarten when she was young.”

“Then, did you make Ara go here because someone recommended it?”

“Um… There’s no such thing as a recommendation, Chairman… No, Ara’s grandfather told her to go here.”

Ara’s grandfather, Daehan Group chairman Yoo Chul-wang.

She was a person she often saw in the news even in her previous life.

However, the expression of Han Seung-ah mentioning him was a bit darker than that of a daughter-in-law who is in trouble with her father-in-law.

Isn’t that a good topic to bring up?

I didn’t say anything more and hurried my steps.

“You’re all here. Director Hansol will ask you a few questions, are you ready?”

“Sure. I’ll do my best not to disgrace the faces of the boss and his wife.”

“Whoops, this guy. Don’t think like that, just do it comfortably. Because you are a good person.”

Knocking on the door, I heard a solemn voice from inside saying, “Come in.”

I’m nervous.

“Hello, Director. Long time no see. Are you well?”

“Yes, there is nothing wrong with my body. Your mother also looks alright. For busy people, no news is good news. Is that boy the new one registered this time?”

“Hello, my name is Hansol Lee.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Park Han-na, who is the director of Blue Sky Kindergarten.”

Director Park Han-na was an old man who gave off an intelligent impression.

Cleanly polished round glasses, a straight waist and clear eyes that looked beyond the 60th birthday.

She also noticed her desk, which was stocked with only the necessities, free of clutter.

“The room is very tidy.”

“You can get to know a person by looking at their usual living space. I’m someone who can only work in a well-organized environment like this.”

“I don’t like clutter either, but I don’t think I’ve ever cleaned things up this well.”

“But don’t misunderstand that our kindergarten teaches all children like this. We value each child’s individuality above all else…. Excuse me for a moment.”

What, what is it? Director Park Han-na approached me and started looking back and forth.

Touching the body here and there is like examining the condition of a patient, so I am careful about breathing.

“Don’t be too nervous and relax.”

“Oh, yes. By the way, if you look at it like that, can you know something?”

“Of course. I have seen children all my life.”

Oh. You can tell just by touching it.

A gray-haired expert grandmother. Let’s call her Master from today.

The teacher touched my body a few times, then nodded her head and went back to her seat.

“You are a physically gifted child. His bones are very good. It seems that the nutrition supply was not good until recently, but the height is not much different from the average.”

“Oh, is that so? What a relief. I was worried because he couldn’t eat when he was supposed to be eating… “

“Our Blue Sky Kindergarten has well-equipped gym facilities. There is also a swimming pool. It will help Hansol find something he likes.”

For me, athletic talent.

Well, that trash father said he was an athlete.

In my previous life, I never thought of sports.

Eating was poor, and my face was ruined, so I was reluctant to hang out with people.

After that, the interview ended by answering the master’s questions.

She called one of her sub-tutors to lead me and added a word.

“Hansol will be living in the same 6 and a half year old as Miss Ara. He skipped 5 and a half years, but as long as it’s Hansol-kun, it seems no problem.”

“Oh, yep. I look forward to.”

———-

Director Park Han-na, who was drinking tea with Seung-a after Han-sol followed the teacher, asked.

“Is that child’s hair color hereditary? It’s probably from my father’s side… “

“Oh, yes. Over there, the director, actually, Hansol… “

Director Park Han-na, who heard about Han-sol’s family situation, was calm as if she knew it would happen.

“I see. I guessed from the story that the wife would take care of the child, and from the child’s physical condition. And yet… That kid doesn’t feel like an abused kid.”

“Yes, he is a little precocious. Maybe it’s because she’s been through a lot, and the way she talks… Oh, but there is no problem with the head. Han Solo already knows how to write.”

“… I’m surprised. It was a bit like I said, but I didn’t think that kid would be highly intelligent. Well, that kid is very different from the ones I’ve seen before.”

“Aren’t there many precocious children like Hansol?”

“I have seen many children who are highly intelligent or precocious, but… The logical structure and language habits I felt when I was talking to that child didn’t feel like that. It felt like talking to a grown man.”

After drinking the tea, Director Park Han-na smiled intrigued.

“Whoops… Even at this age, I can have new experiences. This is what life is all about, so I want to live a little longer.”

———-

Blue Sky Kindergarten is divided into two classes per grade.

Usually, the maximum number of students per class is 15 to 18, with one homeroom teacher and two assistant teachers per class.

The class I attend is the Maple Class for 6 and a half year olds.

The class changed for the new semester, but the children didn’t seem awkward because it was just a mixture of two classes of five-year-olds.

When I entered the class, I saw Ara talking to the girl sitting next to her.

“Attention everyone! A friend who hasn’t introduced himself yet for the new semester has arrived. Now, Hansol, shall we introduce ourselves to our friends?”

“My name is Lee Han-sol. I look forward to.”

“You all came up together when you were 5 and a half years old, but Hansol came to our kindergarten for the first time today. She needs us to let Hansol know so he can get along. Okay~?”

“”Yes!!””

Since it was still class time, the welcome greeting was shortened, and the homeroom teacher resumed class.

I received one of her sketchbooks from her, waved her hand, and sat down next to her in Ara’s welcome.

As soon as she sat down, Ara introduced a girl.

“Sol-ah, this is Min-ah, Park Min-ah. Minah and I have been friends since sunflower class.”

“Hello, this is Hansol Lee.”

“Oh, hi… Park Min-ah… But, Ara has been talking about you since this morning… Are you very close with Ara?

Mina was a small and cute child, but she seemed to have a very timid personality.

Minah, who clings to Ara while greeting me, must be anxious that I might be closer to Ara than she is.

She is a child who wants to be pampered.

“Yes, Ara likes me a little. I heard you like me the best?”

“Uh, uh… ? Oh, Araya… Really? I’m closer to him than I am… ?”

“I’ve never heard of Minah from Ara. Isn’t she not close? Mina, are you… Aren’t you the only friend?”

“Ooh, ooh… Oh no… I am friends with Ara… “

The teasing made the girl almost cry.

Ara was flustered by the unexpected situation and stuttered her words.

“Oh, no… that is… So, Sol is the best among boys! Minah is my favorite among girls! Huh! That’s why Minah is the best!”

“Gee, really… ? However… Ha, Hansol said Ara never talked about me… “

“Mi and Mina are my best friends, so I didn’t introduce myself to Sol-yi as a surprise! So, Sol-i, don’t say anything strange to Min-ah either!”

Oh, I’m glaring at you.

Well, it’s not good to tease a child too much.

I also quickly helped to soothe Mina.

“Sorry, I’m jealous of you, Min-ah, because you look so close to Ara… Actually, I just met Ara. Mina, have you been friends with Ara for a long time?”

“Heh, hehehehe… Yes, I know a lot. Ara likes Peasley… Good at swimming too! And… ”

“V.D.B.D. Nice Minah! Since you were friends a year earlier, you are my senior! Ara friend career senior! I’m a junior!”

“Ugh, uhm! Okay! If you want to know Ara, ask me! I’ll tell you everything!”

It’s simple.

I thought that when I saw Min-a, who was in a good mood right away and became proud.

Excited to the fullest, Min-ah became proud and said as if looking down at me.

“Well then, starting today, I’ll also call you Hansol’s Sol! Because I’m a senior… “

“Yes! Seniors should call their juniors whatever they want to call them. Sol from today… “

“No.”

“Uh… ?”

Ara laughed and restrained the two of us who were so excited.

The corners of his mouth are raised, but his eyes are not smiling.

“Minah calls me Hansol. I am the only one who calls her Sol.”

“Ugh, ugh… “

“Uh, uh uh… “

After that, Mina and I quietly drew pictures until class was over.

With Ara sitting as if blocking us.

———

Lunchtime after morning classes.

I headed to the cafeteria with Ara and Minah.

Indeed, like a large Blue Sky Kindergarten, the cafeteria is large enough to accommodate all children, and the inside is also sparkling clean.

Ara sat next to me and Mina sat in front of Ara.

Today’s lunch menu is bean rice with kimchi, seaweed soup, seasoned spinach and bulgogi.

It is a healthy diet.

While Ara was teasing Minah, who was picking out the beans, Ara said that she hates kids who can’t eat beans, a disturbing group came.

“Hey, who are you to eat with Yooara? Why is your hair so yellow? Are you a thug?”

“Pu-huh, thug. You, Seong-chan, where are you, such a small gangster?”

“I know, but they say that this yellow hair is a Yankee, Yankee giggle… “

“Ooh, ooh… Araya, Sungchan and these guys are here again… I, go away… “

Mina looked uneasy as to whether these gangs had come for a day or two.

Giggling among themselves over boring stories…

Ara stood up from her seat, frowning.

“You Bae Seong-chan, you are half different now, but stop following me around. Over there, you guys in the banking class are going to eat!”

“Poop! It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time ~ Didn’t you like it?”

“I’m going to tell the teacher!”

“Tell me? Early days at the earliest… “

“Hey.”

Before he could finish his words, I got up.

For a while, the corner of his mouth went up after I suddenly interrupted and was taken aback.

Maybe I’m funny because I’m smaller and thinner than you.

“Poop, what is it? Why, are you Yuara’s new servant? Yooara, because Park Minah is not enough… Wow!”

No need to hear more.

Before Bae Seong-chan finished his words, I tripped on him and tripped him.

Of course, it is difficult to knock over Bae Seong-chan, who is heavier than me.

So I walked and clung to him.

Unable to bear the weight of me clinging to him in addition to losing balance on one leg, he collapsed.

Kung-

“Ouch… what are you doing… Uh?”

Bae Seong-chan, who fell, was not injured.

Because there was a good cushion under him.

After a while, a scream rang out from the lunch room.

“Oh my gosh I’m dying!!”
