Steve had always been a man of his word.

The next morning, after breakfast, he took his drawing tools and took Elaine Yeon to the park.

He gave his spare sketchbook and pencil to Elaine Yeon and began to teach her how to draw.

What should she draw?

He started with the simplest stone.

However, to Steve's disbelief, it took him almost twenty minutes to teach Elaine Yeon how to hold a pen.

The little girl looked smart, but she couldn't hold a pen properly.

Every time Steve helped her hold the pen correctly, she would hold the pen in her hand again.

In the end, Steve had no choice but to give up teaching Elaine Yeon how to draw. Instead, he taught her the simplest and simplest strokes.

At the same time, he also replaced the pencil in her hand with a crayon.

Half an hour later, he watched her happily lying on the ground and drawing ants moving … Well, as long as she was happy, right?

Steve shook his head again and sat in front of a large rock not far from Elaine Yeon. He opened his sketchbook and began to draw his work for the day.

…

After Steve got home, he took Elaine Yeon into the bathroom and washed her face for a full fifteen minutes. Only then did he get rid of all the crayon color on her face.

All in all, the dull but not lacking in joy and warmth went by day by day.

Elaine Yeon, who had never treated Steve as an outsider, didn't feel much, but Elaine Yeon felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Steve.

If he had to describe it, it would be that he felt like he had become a father early.

Now that he thought about it, ever since Elaine Yeon suddenly appeared in his life, the thing he did the most was worry.

This was not an exaggeration at all.

He would wake up at the same time almost every night.

The first thing she did when she woke up was to get out of bed and check if Elaine Yeon had rolled off the bed, kicked the blanket away, or stuffed her head into the bedside table.

In the one-third of Steve's life that he had lived, the number of women in his life could be counted on one hand.

To be more precise, other than his deceased mother and grandmother, there was only his cousin who had flown to another country six years ago.

Because the women around him alienated him because he was short and thin, and because he was sick, he didn't get along with women.

However, he now realized that he could master [How to Get Along with Elaine Yeon] very well.

"Steve … do you think the bunny I drew looks good?"

She mumbled these words and turned over, kicking the quilt off the bed with her small feet.

Steve, who was standing at the door, sighed countless times.

He walked to the little girl's bedside and picked up the blanket. He reached out and carried her to the center of the bed to sleep, then covered her with the blanket.

"Wow!

Steve is the best, chirp! "

A soft and wet kiss landed on his face.

If it was before, Steve's heart would definitely race and his face would turn red.

But now, he could calmly face Elaine Yeon's kiss on the cheek.

And!

She was sleeping right now!

That's right!

She was sleeping.

Steve lowered his head and looked at the little girl who seemed to be dreaming of something again.

She turned sideways and hugged the blanket, and a silly smile appeared on her small face.

Her facial features were obviously very flirtatious, but because of the smile on her face, she looked adorable.

It should be said that … fortunately, the little girl had this kind of personality.

"Haha … Steve … big idiot … big idiot …"

She rolled around on the bed again, and these words came out of her mouth.

Well, Steve was confident that he was in this dream, and that he had always been there.

Once again, he moved Elaine Yeon to the middle of the bed, tucked the blanket in, and turned to leave her bedroom.

The next day, a piece of news broadcasted on TV, and it attracted all of Steve's attention.

Steve watched the live broadcast of the latest situation on the frontline. He put down the paintbrush in his hand and stared at the conscription news at the end of the news.

Steve thought about his father.

He died on the battlefield.

And his mother, because of his father's death, was too sad. In the end, because she was taking care of patients, she was accidentally infected with tuberculosis, and not long after, she also died.

He had always wanted to be a soldier like his father and serve the country, but his body …

No!

No matter what, he had to give it a try.

But the important thing was that Elaine Yeon absolutely couldn't know about this.

Because Steve was sure that once the little girl knew about his idea, she would either pester him not to go, or pester him to take her with him.

After mentally preparing himself, he quickly launched a series of plans.

He found all kinds of excuses to go out alone at different times and asked Elaine Yeon to help him look after the house.

Although he felt a little guilty, and he felt like he was betraying Elaine Yeon's trust in him, but … he didn't want to stay here when all the men in the district were serving the country.

He wanted to carry on his father's last wish and fulfill his father's unfinished dream.

It was just that …

What made Steve feel extremely frustrated was that the [4F] stamp was stamped on his registration form again and again.

"Hey, do you know that it's illegal to falsify the conscription information?

Bro. "

Steve looked at his brother, who saved him from being punched by others, who was already wearing a military uniform. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and felt extremely disappointed.

"Okay!

Let's go.

I'll go home with you and take you to the future! "
