May 8th.
Parent's Day (TL: Unlike global, in Korea May 8 isn't mother's day but parent's day)
Seojun had a lot of fun at the campsite with his friends on Children's Day (TL: May 5), and today they would be making carnations for their parents at school.
First-graders are not allowed of using scissors, so the teacher has already cut the red, yellow, and pink petals in advance.
The petals were glued together to make carnations, and unlike other children who had grass on their hands and torn petals, Seojun's carnations were as pretty as those sold in stores.
The shape of the petals was different, perhaps because Seojun folded the petal paper himself and put in some wrinkles to make it real.
"Seojun, how do you do that?"
Ji-Yoon, sitting next to Seojun, asked. It was very different from his carnations with messy grass.
Seojun was much prettier. He also wanted to give pretty flowers to his mom and dad.
"This? It's pretty if you fold it and open it up." You have to fold it in half."
When Seojun showed a demonstration and folded the petals, not only Ji-Yoon but also his friends who sat around him folded along.
Before they knew it, the other children also flocked around Seojun.
"Like this?"
"Yes! You're good."
The teacher, who looked pleased with Seojun's mature appearance, rolled up her sleeves to help the children who failed to make their carnations.
"Okay. I'll help you, too."
Suddenly, the whole class helped each other and made pretty carnations.
When the children were busy making carnations for their mothers and fathers, Seojun's hands moved busily.
He folded the colored paper he bought with his own pocket money and cut it neatly – the teacher helped him – he made a bag full of flowers.
When he returned home from Taekwondo classes, his mom and dad were waiting for him.
Seojun looked at the clock. It's not yet 6 o'clock, but his father already returned from work.
"Dad! You left work early".
"Hmm."
Lee Min-Joon awkwardly at Seojun's words.
It's Parents' Day, so he can't say he came early because he wanted to get carnations.
Seojun, who guessed his father's mind, smiled and opened his navy school bag.
"This is for my mom. This is for my dad!"
There are now pretty handmade carnations on their hands together win an envelope for each.
"Mom and dad. I love you!"
Seojun hugged the two people tightly. Seo Eun-Hye and Lee Min-Joon blushed without realizing it.
They put the carnations and letters on the floor and hugged Seojun back.
'Oh. My baby, when did he grow up so much?'
They would receive carnations and letters annually, but their hearts would still tremble every time.
"Mom and dad love Seojun so much!"
Seo Eun-Hye and Lee Min-Joon read the letter with carnations.
The shy Seojun quickly went back into his room and brought out some boxes that he had prepared in advance.
After reading the letter, his mom and dad were wiping away their tears.
When Lee Min-Joon, who cleaned up his nose, took the carnation out from Seojun's bag and asked.
"Seojun, why did you make so many?"
"There are other people that I want to give the carnations!"
Seojun put carnations in a pretty box.
They had fewer petals than his mom and dad's carnations, but it was still pretty.
"This is for my grandmother and grandfather (Father side). This is my grandmother's. (Mother side) This is for Uncle Chan's. This is for uncle Hee-Sung. This is for Brown Black's. This is for my aunt. (Nara)" This was all the carnations.
Seojun took out another type of flower.
"I made this because I wanted to give it to other people, too."
Lee Ji-Seok and Yoon Sung-Oh. Choi Dae-man, Ryan Will, Jonathan, Evan Block, and Rachel Hill. It was a paper flower that he will be sending to people he was grateful for.
Seo Eun-Hye and Lee Min-Joon laughed at the postcards and flowers put in the box.
"Everyone will love it."
After sending boxes to people by mail, Seojun's cell phone rang one after another.
Brown Black cried and said that they didn't know they would get this, and Kim Hee-Sung sent a bunch of dolls as a response.
Other people also sent gifts, perhaps because they forgot to send gifts on Children's Day.
It has been three weeks since 'Re-investigation' was aired. The 'Re-investigation' is airing at night, he was supposed to go to bed at 9 o'clock, but he decided to watch the main broadcast today.
It was now episode 5 of 'Re-investigation.' It was an episode where Seojun would appear as a cameo.
"It's a little awkward to watch it on TV. I would usually went to the movie theater and watched it."
"I know. My parents are already watching KBC."
The couple and Seojun were also sitting on the sofa watching TV.
They like the plot of the drama so they would watch it when it is aired, but at the episode where Seojun appeared felt different compared to movies.
"KBC even aired 'The Devil' on Sunday."
"Uh. I'm a little…"
When Lee Min-Joon shuddered at the words 'The Devil', Seojun and Seo Eun-Hye burst into laughter.
Unlike movie theaters, where they have to quietly focus on movies, dramas are what you watch at home so they can talk to each other comfortably.
The ratings of the drama 'Re-investigation' were high.
It had the highest ratings among other broadcasted dramas on Monday and Tuesday.
Due to the high popularity on the Internet, there was also a Forum where viewers discussed the latest episodes.
[Re-investigation Episode 5]
-These days, Lee Ji-Seok's investigation seems to have improved.
-Re-investigation is fun to watch.
-The plot was fun, too.
-Speaking of which, KBC had a lot of shows related to Lee Seojun.
-Yes, they even bought 48 hours from WNET, and there was a re-run of Shadowman, and even The Devil was aired on the weekends. It's still fun to watch it again.
– Definitely, TV is more impact than movies, so my friend, who only watched TV, was his first time watching Seojun. He watched 'The Devil' which aired this time and said he didn't know Seojun would act so well. So he will be watching Shadowman 1 and 2 as well.
-Please tell us about 'Re-investigation!'
After many advertisements, the fifth episode of the 'Re-investigation' began.
Around the middle of the fifth episode, a suspicious hit-and-run incident occurred, Lee Ji-Seok headed to the place of the incident to find more clues.
"Hey! Let's pass this way!"
"Okay!"
Lee Ji-Seok, who was looking around the alley, heard the voices of the children.
Following the voices, two children were playing with a soccer ball kicking in a wide-open space. The short child and the tall child were playing with the soccer ball freely.
They played by stealing each other's balls. The older child pressed the younger child with his physique, while the younger child moved quickly.
Despite the fierce physical fight, the soccer ball did not look like it would fly away as if a magnet was attached to the two children's feet and the soccer ball.
"They're good".
At Lee Ji-Seok's words, people who were watching television and also soccer games nodded.
At that short moment, they felt like they watching a soccer game seriously.
The head coach of a soccer team, who was watching 'Re-investigation', jumped up when he saw the scene.
He was watching this episode in order to tease Jung Si-hyuk about it tomorrow, but the other child caught his attention.
"Who's next to Si-Hyuk?"
"Well, I think he is an elementary school student based on his height".
"When I was his age I couldn't even do that...."
The eyes of the soccer team coach who found a new prey, he recognized Jung Si-hyuk's talent early and attracted him to the soccer team, and he wanted to do the same with the child together with Si-Hyuk.
Perhaps Lee Ji-Seok's appreciation was heard, so the two children stopped their feet and looked at Lee Ji-seok.
Lee Ji-seok, who coughed to lighten the atmosphere at the sight of the children looking at him intensely, opened his mouth.
"Do you play soccer here every day?"
"Yes."
The little child with missing front teeth said.
Lee Ji-Seok and the viewers also smiled at the child's smart answer, even though he seemed naughty.
The smiling viewers' expressions hardened. Initially the only saw his foot movements and physical fights that were not like any other children when it comes to soccer, but now they recognized his face.
Seojun smiled brightly.
"Did you also come here yesterday?"
"Yes, but who are you?"
The eldest child hid the small child behind his back.
Whether he knew what his brother was thinking or not, the small child peeked at Lee Ji-Seok with curious eyes.
"I am a police officer, and there was a hit-and-run accident that happened near here. I am investigating that. This is the only way out. Didn't you see a strange car passing by yesterday?"
"I didn't saw it…"
"I saw it!"
The little kid replied quickly. The eldest child sighed. He remembered that his brother had been talking about a strange car last night.
"He was driving strangely. He bumped into that street lamp and hit this wall."
"Did you see the number of the car?"
"Uh… It was similar to my phone number…. 4812 something. I don't know what are the numbers after that."
"Okay. Thank you."
Lee Ji-Seok nodded. And he left the alley to continue investigating the hit-and-run car.
After the fifth episode of the 'Re-investigation', the ending song went up and a white caption appeared on the screen with the child smiling.

"Yes!"
Lee Min-Joon smiled brightly at his son's answer.
