"Hey, what's with the gloomy face?"
Well, I could not really answered his questions yet I stretched my lips for 3mm which was equivalent to a smile - deep inside me, I would love to express every single thing that I have been experiencing and I would like to confess how guilty I was towards everyone for being the reason why our vacation was cancelled.
Few minutes has passed but dad was still there at the same spot, looking at me straight in the eyes. God. I was caught red handed. He knew that I had actually got a lot of things playing in my mind and that he was expecting me to share with him like I used to.
By the way, yes! I used to share my problems with him and to be honest I am closer to dad. He is the one whom I could talk to till late at night and he is the one who always keep my spirit high. When I am about to lose hope, he would come and motivated me like a pro. And of course, he never make me disappointed.
Back in the passed, it was hard for me to even say 'Dad, I love you' but then there was a reality show - The Return of Superman which encouraged me to do so.

"This is not a movie but this is really a true story that affected me the most" |
The show highlighted the bond between dads and their kids and trust me it was fantastic. When I first watched the show, I was touched as all dads were struggling to take care of their growing up kids.(and that is the moment when I started to realize that my dad had done the same)
Several Korean male celebrities including Choo Sung Hoon, Lee Hwijae and Song Il Gook had joined the show.

The above scenes prove that Choo Sung Hoon was having a hard time handling his three years old daughter alone. He barely sit to enjoy his meals as Choo Sarang kept on requesting for various type of foods. He said it was tiring but still he won't let his kid disappointed because for him, Choo Sarang is everything.
Then, there was Lee Hwi Jae who had to take care of his twin sons ; Lee Seoun and Lee Seo Jun. If I am not mistaken, he joined this reality show ever since his kids were eight months. And of course it won't be easy to take care of the newborn babies but surprisingly Lee Hwi Jae did it! (without help from his wife) On the other hand, he also managed to feed and bathe the twins on his own. Therefore, I am sure he deserves the tittle 'Superman'.

For some people, raising up twins would be ordinary but how would they react if there was a dad who had to take care of his triplet sons alone? Well, at first I thought it might be impossible but then Song Il Gook proves me wrong. He did it. He did raise his triplet sons (Daehan, Minguk and Manse) on his own.
However, I bet that won't be an easy task. God. Il Gook had to be very cautious and stay alerted with his kids whereabouts. Eventually, this reminded me the moment when he was at the park with the triplets and it was a total chaos! The triplets were separating and heading towards three different ways on their own which as a result, Il Gook used cookies as bribes to keep them together.
So yes, the show really affected me. I can't get over it and slowly I started to realize that all dads deserve to be called as 'Superman' since they are very protective. Therefore, don't simply take our dads for granted or assumed that they never care about us just because they rarely at home.
P/S : Please be noted that the triplets have done filming for this show and their last episode might be aired before / on February. - Song Ill Gook's Intagram
