My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 134

Ep. 133

After the second semester started, I was juggling childcare and studying with Heena. Then one day,

Heena’s anger, which I was witnessing for the first time in the four years since we met, erupted during a conversation in the living room right after I woke up.

“Honey, did you forget something yesterday?”

“Forget? Was there something special? I finished a project, played with Sarang…”

“Really? You honestly don’t know? Not even now?”

“Yeah. Why? Is there something I need to do?”

“……”

“Sorry. I really don’t know… Can’t you just tell me?”

“Fine! Hmph!”

“Huh? Hey, Heena!”

-Bang!

That brief exchange on a weekend morning ended with Heena locking herself in the room. Yesterday’s fatigue from the assignments lingered, making it hard to process the situation with my still-groggy head.

And from then until lunchtime, I didn’t see Heena’s face.

—

My mother-in-law, father-in-law, and even Heesung hyung [older brother] were all gathered on the weekend. We convened an emergency meeting at the table to discuss the current situation.

Heena had sulked playfully many times before, but she had only been seriously angry once: when she fought with my mother-in-law over my career when she was pregnant.

And that was a fight with my mother-in-law, not with me, so everyone was taking this very seriously.

“Hey, what did you do yesterday?”

“Yeah, son-in-law~ Think carefully. How was she before you went to bed?”

“Hmm… I saw you two studying yesterday, and everything seemed fine until I went to bed.”

“Yesterday… Ugh… Yesterday… After feeding Sarang formula and putting her to sleep… Heena and I were working on our assignments in the living room… Father-in-law went to sleep… Um… After barely finishing the assignment… I went to bed first… Went to…”

“Went to?”

“Yeah… Slept. Was there anything else? I was so tired that I told her I was going to sleep first and went in. But there were no problems with Heena until then…”

“Then why is she like that?”

That was the million-dollar question. Even after carefully retracing my conversation with Heena yesterday.

‘Ugh…!! Ah, I’m so sleepy! Heena, sorry, I’m going to sleep first.’

‘Okay, you worked hard~ Good night, honey…’

‘Don’t stay up too late either~ Haaam…’

‘……’

She even told me I worked hard on finishing the assignment and didn’t seem to mind me going to bed before her.

It seemed like she was going to say something more after that, but if it was really important, she would have stopped me and said something, so it couldn’t be that. Besides, Heena isn’t the type to get angry for not hearing the rest of the story.

Why would she suddenly become so sharp? It’s like the mood swings she had when she was pregnant, so the timing feels so random… She’s not pregnant now, is she…

“……”

Wait a minute. Wait, hold on.

Could it be? Could it be?! No, no. There’s no way. We’ve always been careful with contraception since we had Sarang after that accident!

We always used condoms, no matter how safe the day was, so there’s no way.

But the fact that Heena is being so sensitive about something trivial only happened when she was pregnant, so it made me wonder.

I immediately searched on my smartphone for the contraception rate when using condoms.

Let’s see, experts say the success rate of contraception when using condoms is 80-85%… The failure rate is 15-20%… That’s higher than I thought? Ah, that includes cases where there was a problem with the condom. But I haven’t always carefully checked the condition of the condom after we finished, so again…

While I was sweating and looking at my phone with a worried heart, Heesung hyung quietly came next to me and peeked at my phone.

And after seeing the search results, he gasped.

“…Hey, no way, right?”

“I don’t know… But it’s not like she’s acting this way towards you, hyung, and seeing her suddenly showing mood swings to me… Um… She was especially like that to me last year too.”

“Damn, now that you say that, it sounds so convincing.”

“Why, why? Do you know something?”

When we looked like we had figured something out, my mother-in-law and father-in-law craned their necks and asked.

“How should I say this? It’s not certain, but…”

“What is it?”

“…I, is it because she’s pregnant… I was wondering…”

“……”

At my words, the two of them immediately hardened their faces. Well, it was understandable. They must be thinking, how long has it been since the accident, and it’s happening again.

“Did you not use protection again?”

“No! I definitely, definitely used it! But even if you use it, the probability is a bit… depending on the situation…”

At my hasty answer, my mother-in-law stroked her chest and sighed in relief.

“Then I don’t think so? I couldn’t see Heena before because she was living on her own, but now I see her every day, so there’s no way I wouldn’t know~”

“Really?”

“Of course~ She’s my daughter. Besides, if she had that feeling, Heena would have said it first.”

“T, that’s right, right?”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at my mother-in-law’s almost certain answer. But the problem was back to square one.

If she’s not pregnant, then why is Heena suddenly being like this to me? It would be nice if I had any idea, but since she was fine until right before going to bed yesterday, I couldn’t figure it out at all.

While everyone closed their eyes and pondered, Heesung hyung shook his head first and got up from his seat.

“Now that I think about it, is there any need to worry? She’ll be fine by the time she comes out for dinner anyway. How long can she stay mad at you even if she fights with you?”

“Hmm…”

Considering Heena’s usual self, Heesung hyung’s words made sense, but somehow it felt a little different today.

Should I say she’s angry?

It feels like she’s feeling sorry for something.

Still, I had a feeling that what he said was right, so I was about to go into the room.

-Click

The door opened and Heena came out, holding Sarang, who seemed to have just woken up.

Come to think of it, it’s time to feed Sarang formula.

Normally, everyone would make a fuss and say they would give Sarang formula, but today they were quietly sitting while watching Heena.

In that silence, Heena approached my mother-in-law.

“Mom, can you watch Sarang for a second? I’m going to prepare the formula.”

“Okay~ Did our princess sleep well?”

“Ugh!”

“Good, you’re in a good mood? Good job~ You sleep well too~”

Unlike what I was worried about, she treats my mother-in-law with the same attitude as usual. Seeing that, I also took courage and followed Heena, who was heading to the cupboard.

Maybe Heena might even apologize to me, saying that she was being sharp for no reason? With that expectation.

“Heena, take a rest. I’ll make the formula.”

I stood next to Heena and said that, trying to get the formula container.

“Hmph!”

-Whisk!

She turned her back to me, making a nasal sound as if to be heard. I was shocked by Heena’s appearance.

Not because she was showing me, not someone else, this angry side for the first time.

But because, how can Heena be so cute even when she’s seriously sulking? That thought crossed my mind for a moment.

These days, Sarang has started grabbing things she sees, so her ponytail, tied up so her hair wouldn’t be grabbed, was so cute. The nape of her neck, with a few strands of hair sticking out below it, also felt sexy.

But being cute is one thing, and now I felt the need to fix this situation.

“I was wrong…”

However, I still didn’t know why she was like that, so I apologized first. If she was sulking like a joke, it would be one thing, but if she was really angry, I must have done something wrong.

Heena wouldn’t get angry about something absurd in such a serious matter.

I don’t know what it is though.

“What? What did you do wrong?”

Fortunately, Heena didn’t seem to have any intention of not talking at all, and she turned her head slightly and asked.

I quickly racked my brain, with only a small window to think.

What is it?! What the hell did I do wrong!

“Um… Um… D, did I not sleep with you…?”

Since it started last night, that was the only thing that came to my mind.

“What are you apologizing for when you don’t know anything! Fine!”

I think it was the wrong answer.

After that, she didn’t even look at me, silently made the formula, and then held Sarang in her arms again.

In the meantime, Sarang was looking at me again today and reaching out her arms.

“Han Sarang! You have to drink your formula!”

Ignoring Sarang’s pitiful(?) actions, she went straight into the room.

And the family members, who had been holding their breath and watching it while we were talking, got up from their seats as soon as Heena went into the room.

“Looking at how she’s treating her mom, I don’t think I’ll get caught in the crossfire. I should go play some games.”

“Honey, shall we go grocery shopping? Beef is very cheap these days~”

“Um, shall we?”

It seemed like they were implying they didn’t know, so I should take care of it myself.

But I have no idea what’s going on, so how am I supposed to take care of it?

I felt a sudden fatigue and covered my face with both hands on the weekend when I should be resting.

However, I didn’t feel any sense of crisis. Our relationship was too solid to be shaken by something like this. But since it was the first time, I didn’t know what to do.

Should I just go in now and hug her and kiss her to death? Like when I solved her sulking a little. It seems like it would be solved with that if it’s Heena.

It’s a bit much to go in right away, should I go in when Sarang is done drinking her formula?

“Hey.”

“Huh?”

I was half-heartedly waiting when Heesung hyung tapped me on the back and called me.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but it’ll be resolved after some time, right?”

“Hmm…”

I agree with that, but I didn’t want to just wait because I didn’t know how long that time would take. Especially since I might have done something wrong.

“You finished one assignment yesterday, so you’re a bit free today.”

“There are more assignments… but it’s not urgent.”

“I have a lot of time today too. So…”

Heesung hyung lowered his voice and continued.

“Biohazard 2-player map, let’s go for it?”

“……”

“Hey, when she’s like that, it’s the perfect opportunity. When else are we going to play games without being disturbed?”

It’s the first time Heena is so angry that she won’t even talk to me, but I think I know that’s the worst choice I can make today.
