The wall of the United States was high, even with Park Muyeol and I together. Spain was a team with Torres as the center, so it wasn’t easy. Meanwhile, China highlighted the strength of everyone who used martial arts.

In any case, all the scheduled matches were completed and my family and I managed to get home. The sun was setting and the time for dinner was approaching.

“You don’t have to do this, but thanks for taking me home.” After sending my family home first, I expressed my gratitude to Yoo Minseok.

Yoo Minseok laughed and extended his hand. “No. I’m even more grateful. Thanks to this, my position in the company has improved a bit. Elder, it is thanks to you.”

I told him, “Well, isn’t this called a win-win?”

“You know that saying?”

“My English teacher told me.”

The two of us laughed together.

Yoo Minseok looked at me and said, “Then I’m going now. I am really grateful for today.”

“Um, yes. Go carefully.”

“Yes. We will send a bus for you on time tomorrow. You will go to the stadium using it.”

Originally, Mido and I should’ve been preparing for the next event in the accommodations, just like the other players. It was Yoo Minseok’s consideration that allowed us to rest at home.

“Thank you very much.”

“No need. Then I’m going.” It happened as Yoo Minseok was about to get back in the car... “Ah, right.”

“......?”

“Maybe from tomorrow, there will be bodyguards guarding your house under the president’s special orders.”

“What?”

My eyes widened at the ridiculous words. Bodyguards? A special order from the president? What the hell was this?

“I think he was very happy to see the match. I told him that Elder is struggling with the reporters and he instructed us to make sure there is no discomfort in reality.”

“...Hrmm.”

In fact, the words were right. It had been too hard to exit the stadium just now. I managed to get out the back door but the reporters still chased me for photos. I had to click my tongue at their tenacity.

I heard it would be good for my granddaughter and was forced to nod. It had to be done if it was the best choice for Mido. “Thank the president for me.”

“Yes, I’ll do that. Then I’ll see you.” Thus, Yoo Minseok drove away.

I looked in the direction where he disappeared. The car he was riding disappeared into the sunset. I turned again and tried to enter the house. Just then...

“...Huh?”

Two cars arrived at the same time. Those who got off were faces I was very happy to see.

“Father!”

“Father-in-law!”

It was my youngest child, Choi Seohyeon, and my son-in-law, Gu Seokhyun. Choi Seohyeon was hugging my grandson, Gu Minchan, who had just been born. The ones who followed were my second child, Choi Jeonghyun, and my granddaughter, Choi Seohui.

All I could do was laugh at them. I naturally placed my hands behind my back. “Huhu. You’re late.”

Tonight seemed like it would be a pretty big feast. I was going to show off my culinary skills after a long time.

The next day arrived.

The time I spent with my family had been very rewarding. We talked a lot and everyone decided to sleep at Kanghyun’s place before going to the next day’s match. From the early morning, the house was very busy.

Crying crying!

“Honey, it looks like Chan is hungry. Get the milk in the bag.”

“Here.”

“Thank you. Our Chan was hungry~ Mommy will give you food straight away~”

My youngest child and son-in-law were frantically trying to soothe the hungry baby.

“Jeongdo, Mido, eat~ everyone eat~”

Everyone came to the living room and ate at the cry of my daughter-in-law who had woken up early in the morning to prepare breakfast. It was really noisy to have a meal with my family after so long. The highlights of yesterday’s matches were being shown on TV. It was the scene where I suddenly emerged to save South Korea and Mido from a crisis.

-This child’s grandfather, you bad guy.

”Kyah. Looking again, it is great. I thought it was over for Mido at the time.”

“Uncle, me too. Grandfather was really cool at that time. Really the best.”

My second son Choi Jeonghyun laughed while watching the TV. Mido also had bright eyes as she raised both thumbs at me. I just coughed a few times. My ears were burning red like kimchi dumplings. “Cough. Stop and let’s all eat.”

I picked up the spoon first and my entire family started eating.

Five minutes passed.

“Wow, Grampa is flying around!” Seohui shouted with her eyes still on the TV and it made my entire family laugh.

My youngest daughter, Choi Seohyeon, asked while feeding Chan milk, “Father, since when have you fought so well?”
