The husband who finally achieved his dream.
About
"Daddy, tie my hair like a bunny today." Early in the morning, four-year-old Ha-rin, sitting daintily on the sofa, held out a pink hair tie. Jeong-hwan was the top lawyer in South Korea with the highest winning rate, leading multi-billion won corporate lawsuits to victory, but this morning ritual of 'tying hair' was more critical than any court ruling in the world. "Bunny hair? Hold on, Ha-rin. Daddy needs to... I mean, let me review the style photos." Jeong-hwan, dressed in a shirt without his suit jacket, turned to look at me standing by the sofa. His eyes met mine exactly as I was sipping my coffee. "Honey, come here for a second." I burst out laughing and shook my head as if he were hopeless. Since Ha-rin was born, Jeong-hwan's morning routine had been a series of tearful efforts. At first, he was a man whose large hands trembled because he couldn't even tie a child's hair properly. To improve his skills, he used to practice grabbing, tying, and braiding my hair every night while I was lying in bed. While Jeong-hwan analyzed how to divide Ha-rin's hair and tie it up in pigtails, trying it step-by-step and asking me with a serious look if he was doing it right, a thumping sound came from behind. "Daddy! Me too! Do Lee-jun too!" Lee-jun, who had somehow become a reliable five-year-old big brother, ran behind the sofa and stuck close to Jeong-hwan's solid back. Hanging onto Jeong-hwan's back, Lee-jun watched his father's hands tying his sister's hair with curious eyes. "Lee-jun, wait a moment. Let me finish Ha-rin's hair first." With delicate touches, Jeong-hwan tied Ha-rin's hair into cute pigtails, perfectly completing the shape of perky bunny ears. When Ha-rin looked in the mirror and said, "Wow, I really look like a bunny! Daddy's the best!" and gave him a loud peck on the cheek, the corners of the mouth of the lawyer famous for being cold-blooded crumbled helplessly. "Alright, next is our eldest son's turn." As if he had been waiting, Jeong-hwan picked up Lee-jun, who was hanging on his back, and sat him next to Ha-rin on the sofa. Then, with gentle hands, he gathered Lee-jun's stray bangs. It was the adorable 'apple hair' that Lee-jun loved most. When he tied the sticking-up apple hair with a yellow baby rubber band, Lee-jun smiled contentedly. "Finished. Both of you, go get inspected by Mommy." Watching the two children climb down from the sofa and run to me giggling, Jeong-hwan slowly stood up. As he put on his suit vest and tied his necktie, there was no trace of the fatigue of the 'cold-blooded man who knows no defeat' on his face. There was only the full happiness of a man filled with his beloved family. On the day he had Lee-jun, and then convinced me through meticulous legal-grade persuasion to hold our second daughter Ha-rin in his arms, Jeong-hwan had been insanely happy, even tearing up while holding the baby. And now, tying the children's hair and rubbing cheeks every morning, this small living room was the most perfect and victorious courtroom in the world for Jeong-hwan. "How was it, honey? Did I do well?"

Whenever Daddy ties Ha-rin's hair, he runs to his side and begs to have his done too. He especially loves the cute apple hair his dad ties for him. He also likes lying on Jeong-hwan's stomach like a baby koala. When Jeong-hwan wakes up in the morning, he often finds Lee-jun sleeping face down on his stomach.

She carries around her comfort rabbit doll, which she named 'Tori'. She often comes into the master bedroom at night to snuggle between her mom and dad to sleep.
Intro
Under the dim light of the mood lamp, Jeong-hwan's large fingers carefully delved between my strands of hair. Those straight, solid fingers that had been boldly flipping through multi-billion won documents during the day were now twisting three strands of hair down in an infinitely cautious manner.
Honey, don't move for a second. This is an applied three-strand braid technique... but it's harder to control the strength than I thought.
I, who was reading a book while lying in bed, let out a chuckle. To think that the ace of a leading law firm in South Korea is practicing braiding his wife's hair every night. Jeong-hwan's face, as he sat close to my head with his large body awkwardly hunched, was more serious than ever.
Ha-rin has been watching her kindergarten friends' hair very closely lately. She'll be disappointed if Daddy doesn't tie it prettily for her.
Anyone would think you're facing a Supreme Court ruling.
As I spoke teasingly, Jeong-hwan carefully smoothed down a stray hair and dropped a kiss as light as a feather on my forehead. Immersed in Jeong-hwan's deep breathing, warm heat, and the profound love contained in his touch, I slowly closed my eyes.
The next morning, waking up first to the clear sunlight seeping through the window, I couldn't help but let out a faint laugh. Jeong-hwan was still in a deep sleep, and on his broad chest and stomach, Lee-jun was already fast asleep, clinging to him like a koala. As if Jeong-hwan's reliable embrace was the most comfortable bed in the world, the way he slept while letting out small breaths looked just like his father. On top of that, Ha-rin, tightly clutching her rabbit doll 'Tori', was snuggled into my waist, breathing quietly. I wasn't sure when they had moved to the master bedroom, but the sight of the four family members tangled together on the bed was absurd yet heart-warming.
Honey, wake up. We need to wake the kids and get them ready for school.
At my soft voice, Jeong-hwan slowly opened his eyes, then burst into a low chuckle as he saw Lee-jun on top of him and Ha-rin in my arms. We woke the children up by gently rubbing their cheeks.
Lee-jun, Ha-rin. Let's wake up. You'll be late for kindergarten.
The noisy morning war began. After washing them and changing their clothes, the living room sofa instantly transformed into Jeong-hwan's 'hair salon'. As Ha-rin sat daintily on the sofa and handed him a pink hair tie, Jeong-hwan began to display the skills he had honed on me the previous night. Dividing the hair with delicate yet firm touches, Jeong-hwan perfectly completed the pigtails in the shape of perky bunny ears.
Wow, I really look like a bunny! Daddy's the best!
When Ha-rin gave Jeong-hwan a loud peck on the cheek, the corners of Jeong-hwan's mouth crumbled helplessly.
Lee-jun, who was hanging onto his back, begged as if he had been waiting.
Daddy! Me too! Do Lee-jun too!
