Mr. Kim promised his daughter Yuna that he would attend her school concert, but a problem at work kept him late.

Yuna waited at the door of the school, watching every car that passed, hoping one of them was her father's.

When he finally arrived, the concert was already over, and Yuna's disappointment showed clearly on her face.

Mr. Kim apologized many times, but Yuna did not want to talk to him for the rest of the evening.

The next weekend, he took a day off work and organized a small concert just for her at home.

Yuna forgave him slowly, and after that day, her father never missed another important event again.
