My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 114

Ep. 113

After the conversation with the landlady, we went outside to discuss our plans.

But first…

“…Yeon-hoo, your face… Waaah, did you cry? Mom! Why are you saying things to Yeon-hoo! Sniff…”

“I didn’t scold him, you little brat!”

“It’s true, Hee-na. I just got a little emotional.”

“Hic… Really…?”

“Yeah. So calm down. The baby will get startled.”

Hee-na was surprised to see my slightly reddened eyes, and another argument almost broke out.

After that, the first thing we decided was Hee-na’s living situation. She was already two months pregnant, and we were worried about her staying here for a few more days, so we decided to finish moving tomorrow. We also decided to pack what we could take today and go.

Meanwhile, Hee-na sat next to me with a swollen face, constantly sniffling. I listened to the adults talking and stroked Hee-na’s hair, hoping to help her recover her spirits even a little.

And when the conversation had settled somewhat, Hee-na bowed her head in front of our parents.

“I’m sorry for showing you such an embarrassing sight…”

“It’s because you’re pregnant. The early stages are the most important, so don’t overdo it. Make Yeon-hoo do everything if anything happens. Got it?”

“Yes, Mother… Thank you.”

My mom comforted Hee-na, who couldn’t lift her head because of the disgraceful behavior she felt she had shown. After that, we decided to start properly tomorrow, and our parents went home.

After we were left alone, Hee-na apologized to me as if she felt ashamed.

“I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay. You just got anxious again, right?”

“Yeah… I feel like I can’t live without you by my side now…”

“Don’t worry. I told you, I’ll always be by your side.”

“I believe you… Thank you for coming with me. I love you.”

“I love you too. Let’s go to bed early today. I’ll hold you until you fall asleep.”

It had been a very tiring day in many ways, so we went to bed early.

Hugging Hee-na tightly, who didn’t want to be separated from me for a moment.

The next day was busy. Since it was the weekend and they didn’t have to work, my parents came back early in the morning and helped us pack our moving stuff.

I sat Hee-na on the bed and worked hard to help with the move.

“I want to help too…”

“Lee Hee-na! You stay put!”

“Yeon-hoo, stop Hee-na right away if she tries to do anything.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Hee-na wanted to help, but thanks to everyone stopping her, she ended up just watching with an uncomfortable face.

While we were moving, Hee-sung hyung [older brother] joined us later. As soon as he came, he stuck to me and started whispering.

“What’s the *joka’s* [niece/nephew] name?”

“We haven’t decided on a name yet, but the *taemyeong* [pregnancy nickname] is Sarang (Love).”

“Oh, that’s pretty! Hey, show me a picture.”

I don’t know why, but hyung looked very happy. He wanted to see not only pictures but also videos, but I told him I’d show him after the move and shook him off. I guess he was really happy about having a *joka*.

But it was a good reaction, so I was relieved. He probably has a lot to say, but he’s deliberately not bringing it up. For our sake.

Anyway, with two cars and several people helping, we were able to finish the move in less than half a day.

The only thing we couldn’t move was the queen-size bed. It wasn’t modular, so it was hard to move without a ladder truck. So we decided to donate it to the landlord uncle.

When the move was almost over and it was getting late, the family all gathered and had dinner together. We even called the people at home.

At the restaurant with private rooms, our parents took a separate room because they had more to talk about, and our hyungs and Yoon-jung noona [older sister], whom we hadn’t seen in a while, gathered together.

“Euhahahahaha!! You won this?!

“Hoo… Han Yeon-hoo, you crazy bastard.”

“I believed in Yeon-hoo…!”

“Hey, what’s wrong with these people? What crazy bet did you make?”

As soon as they heard the definite answer from my mouth that Hee-na was pregnant, they were like that. I heard that they bet on whether Hee-na would get pregnant before I went to the army or not. Sun-hoo hyung bet before I went to the army, and Jung-hoo hyung and Yoon-jung noona bet after.

I was dumbfounded to see that. It’s not like I did something to be praised for, but I thought I’d hear some worries or harsh words. But all I saw was the result of that bet.

“Hee-na~ How’s your body? Is anything hurting?”

“Yeah. I’m okay, *unni* [older sister].”

“You named her Sarang, right? You named her really well~ It’s pretty! Ah, what should I do? I already want to see our *joka*!”

Of course, Yoon-jung noona was soon fussing over Hee-na.

“Han Yeon-hoo-ssi [Mr. Han Yeon-hoo]. How does it feel to become a father without any preparation?”

“……”

“Hey, what’s with that expression~ I’ll be generous and buy you a stroller.”

“That’s… very kind of you…”

“It’s so funny, really. I never thought you’d actually cause an accident. Thanks to you, I earned ₩100,000 [Korean Won, approximately $75 USD]~”

“If you have any conscience, buy Yeon-hoo a meal with that.”

“I said I’d buy a stroller for my *joka*, didn’t I?”

Sun-hoo hyung was being sarcastic, and Jung-hoo hyung was frowning as if he was heartbroken to have lost ₩50,000.

I don’t know if I should be grateful that they’re treating me the same as always, or if I should just not associate with these people.

“You guys are so shameless. What kind of bet did you make with the kids?”

“Hee-sung hyung…!”

Hee-sung hyung, who came in late after parking, was about to say something harsh about this ridiculous situation instead of me, but…

“What are you doing? Jung-hoo hyung! Noona! Hurry up and give me the money!”

“Haa…”

“I was crazy…”

“Hyung, you were in on it too?!”

I was dumbfounded by the sight of him naturally collecting money from hyung and noona. What was he saying when he was in on it too?

Wait, the reason this guy was happy when he was moving earlier wasn’t because he won the bet, was it?

“₩100,000 is so sweet~”

I thought he was purely happy about having a *joka*, but I felt betrayed when I saw that.

So, as I was trembling, Hee-na, who was smiling and stroking her belly, punished hyung.

“Oppa [older brother].”

“Yeah?”

“Are you going to give me half? It’s money I got because I have Sarang.”

“…No, what are you…”

“Hurry. Yeon-hoo is having a hard time studying, so I have to feed him good things.”

“You should eat it, what are you talking about.”

“Give it to me quickly.”

“……Here.”

Hee-sung hyung couldn’t last even a minute and was robbed of half by Hee-na. Sun-hoo hyung, who was watching, closed his mouth and quietly touched his phone, as if he knew he would be robbed too.

I could only laugh as I watched the scene. I was so happy to have such a pleasant family. Really.

You guys are so shameless.

After dinner, I decided to stay at Hee-na’s house from today since we’re going to live together anyway, but I didn’t follow her right away.

I wanted to stop by the cafe and tell them I was quitting my part-time job.

Hee-na tried to come with me, but I refused because I was just going to tell them and come back soon. I was worried about Hee-na’s health, and I asked her to clean up the room so I could stay there.

And when I met the manager and told him that I was quitting.

“Yeon-hoo-ssi is quitting? Why?!”

Originally, I was going to tell them a month in advance so they could find a new part-timer. But I was determined to study really hard, and I had to take care of Hee-na, so I decided to quit my part-time job right away.

Of course, I’m not quitting without a plan.

“Hee-sung hyung has agreed to fill in for me while you’re looking for a new part-timer, would that be okay?”

“Really?! Hee-sung?! Then it’s okay!”

I was glad that the manager was very happy. I’ve been feeling for a few months that he likes Hee-sung hyung a lot. I thought they looked pretty good together, but I’ve never heard hyung say anything like that. Unfortunately.

And I told the manager and Jia noona [older sister], who was resting in the office, about the situation. I couldn’t just gloss over it because we’ve become close.

When I briefly told her the story, the manager nodded, saying it was great, and went out to the hall when he was called, and I talked to Jia noona a little more.

“You’re kind, Yeon-hoo. Yeah. You’re really kind. I think it’s a good choice.”

“I don’t think it’s something to be praised for…”

“Your reckless actions should definitely be scolded, but it’s already happened and the next thing is important. It’s really fortunate for Hee-na. That you’re there.”

“Anyone would have done that. It’s not something to be praised that much…”

At my words, Jia noona shook her head.

“Yeon-hoo. Do you know why you get praised for doing good things?”

“Because I did good things?”

“That’s right. But everyone says that you should be kind and do good things as if it’s natural, but when you actually live, it’s not easy to see that natural thing.”

“Um…”

“Everyone knows that it’s good to do good and good things, but if everyone in the world did that, you wouldn’t get praised for it.”

“Oh… I’m a little embarrassed.”

“I think it’s really great that you’re working hard for the future of both of you, like what you did on the day of the *suneung* [college entrance exam] last year. Have confidence. You’re amazing, Yeon-hoo.”

“……”

My face turned hot at Jia noona’s words, which praised me directly while looking straight into my eyes. At the same time, the tip of my nose started to tingle.

“Thank you, Noona.”

“You’re welcome. You’ve worked hard so far.”

“You’ve worked hard to cover for me, Noona. Can I come visit later?”

“That’s okay, but I hope you explain it well to your girlfriend when you come. It was a little scary when she was staring at me sometimes.”

“I… I’m sorry about our Hee-na…”

My girl is an *aegi* [baby] that’s jealous even of lesser pandas.

“I’ve never done it, but I heard that you’re very anxious in the early stages of pregnancy, so take good care of her. I’m sure you’ll do well even if I don’t say it. It was fun working with you.”

“I really enjoyed coming to work thanks to Noona too.”

“I’m glad you said that. Don’t say that in front of your girlfriend.”

“Aren’t you being too wary?”

I can’t completely understand, but.

Anyway, I said goodbye to Jia noona. It’ll be hard to come here for a while, so it won’t be easy to see her. I don’t even know if she’ll be working until I finish the *suneung*.

Still, I was very grateful to Jia noona, who was always kind and gentle. She made me feel what an ideal noona is like.

I want to visit her again with a gift later.

—

I finished my cafe work safely, and I came back home with a mixed feeling. Of course, not the house where my parents live, but Hee-na’s house. This place that I have to call our house for a while.

Naturally and thankfully, they even told me the password, so I unlocked the door with a somewhat *tteollineun maeum* [fluttering heart].

-Click

“Welcome, *yeobo* [darling/honey]!”

“…I’m home.”

Hee-na greeted me with a bright smile, calling me with a tremendous title even though her family was watching right behind her.

I was already worried when I thought that this would become a daily routine.

Even if it’s just the two of us, what if she does this when her parents and Hee-sung hyung are watching?

I felt like I was going to die of embarrassment before I took the *suneung*.
