"The reading went smoothly! Great job!"

The script reading ended without any hiccups.

For a romantic comedy, the chemistry between the male and female leads is crucial.

‘And in that aspect, we have nothing to worry about.’

My chemistry with Sujin had already been proven.

Filming was scheduled to start in mid-January due to scheduling adjustments.

Until then, it seemed like I could enjoy a bit of relaxation.

‘Well, except for the fact that I’ll still be busy with ad shoots.’

Time flew by quickly, and soon it was December 25th.

This year, I hadn’t made any plans for Christmas with anyone.

The reason?

"Oppa! Why are you always busy?! Why don’t you play with Princess?!"

"I’ve been busy so I can buy our princess some pretty clothes."

"I don’t need pretty clothes! I just need you, Oppa!"

My family’s youngest, our little princess Seohyun, had thrown a tantrum.

She’d threatened never to see me again if I didn’t spend Christmas with her, so what could I do?@@novelbin@@

Thinking about it, I spent the holidays entirely with my family.

We sat together at the dinner table,

eating, cutting cake, and enjoying a happiness I’d never experienced in my previous life.

Before I knew it, everyone had gone to bed, leaving just Dad and me at the table.

At 2 a.m., the ticking of the clock and the faint hum of the TV created a quiet, comforting background noise.

"Thank you, son."

My taciturn dad smiled gently as he spoke.

I wasn’t sure what he was thanking me for,

but somehow, I felt like I understood.

"And thanks for this too."

As he spoke, Dad slid his bank account statement toward me.
