My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 123

Ep. 122

I was slightly taken aback by her question, asking me to choose between her and red panda pajamas, all while wearing a deep frown. I wondered if she was actually jealous of the pajamas themselves.

Hee-na’s jealousy seemed to be subtly expanding its range day by day. Now she was even jealous of inanimate objects. Or maybe she was always like this, even in the early days of our relationship, but she just kept it to herself back then.

I’m pretty sure something similar happened about two years ago. Was it when I first saw Chu-Hee-na? Or when we went to the zoo and I couldn’t stop talking about the red pandas?

Anyway, I was briefly dumbfounded by the sudden ‘her versus the red panda’ question, but whatever. She’s cute, after all.

And faced with that cute expression, I couldn’t help but feel a bit mischievous. So, I decided to tease her a little.

“Well, today I feel like a red─”

-Burning eyes

“─there’s no way. Of course, it’s you and Sarang.”

I quickly backed down under Hee-na’s blazing glare. I felt like if I wasn’t careful, our date would be ruined, and I’d be dragged straight to the hotel.

Actually, Hee-na’s condition has stabilized a lot now, so sometimes when my mother-in-law takes Sarang to sleep with her, we end up having a very active night. Since we can’t do it as often as before Sarang was born, it feels like we’re making up for lost time when we get the chance.

It wouldn’t be bad to go somewhere where we don’t have to worry about our surroundings and indulge as much as we want when we have time like this, but it would be a waste to spend our long-awaited outing just doing that.

“Then should we go with cat pajamas? Actually, I wanted to take a family photo of the three of us. We can buy the red panda ones next time.”

To be honest, I was about seven times more drawn to the red panda than the cat, but what could I do when Sarang’s mom wanted it so badly? Besides, the cat pajamas are super cute, too.

But Hee-na’s expression didn’t soften.

“Hmph, if you like red pandas that much, why don’t we just get those? It sounds like you like red pandas more than us!”

“Hey, why are you like this? Of course, I like my Hee-na and Sarang way more.”

“Doesn’t seem like it?”

“Your smile is a thousand times cuter than a red panda. So, lighten up.”

After saying that, I glanced around and gave Hee-na a quick kiss on the lips. Doing it openly in a place like this would be too rude.

But Hee-na glared at me as if to say, ‘Don’t think you can get away with just that.’

“I’m not convinced yet?”

“Then?”

“Give me Sarang’s share, too!”

“Ah, I almost forgot Sarang’s share!”

-Kiss!

As soon as I gave her another kiss, I could finally see Hee-na smile. By the way, Sarang’s share should be given to Sarang. I’ll have to give her ten kisses when we get back later.

Anyway, I hope she shows me this cute jealousy often. It tickles my heart and makes me feel good.

She gets jealous easily over everything, but she gets over it just as quickly, which is so adorable. After receiving kisses like this, she probably wouldn’t even care if I bought red panda pajamas on top of the cat pajamas.

“Then, we’ll pay for Sarang’s with her card, and I’ll buy the red panda pajamas separately with my money…”

“No way.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

She does care.

After choosing the cat pajamas, we looked around at various other items but didn’t buy anything else. Our whole family had already worked together to buy so many of the necessary items, so buying things just to see cute Sarang is my limit. I don’t want to spoil her too much, even though it’s tempting.

Besides, she’s still too young to actually use much. So, we just looked around the store and then immediately took the subway further away.

“What kind of cat do you like? Mine is calico, and Sarang’s is white… Black? Or do you want to match me with a calico cat?”

Our destination is a fashion accessories store a few subway stops away. She must want to wear the cat pajamas together right away, so she searched for a place where we could buy matching accessories offline and is heading there.

“Hmm, but will they have that many different kinds? I think we’ll just have to buy whatever they have.”

“You never know~”

“If we can choose, black. If we’re not all matching, I think a completely different color would be better.”

“Why~ Don’t you want to be matching cats with me?”

“What if Sarang feels left out?”

“It’s okay. Our Sarang is kind, so she’ll definitely understand.”

“Sarang’s mom…”

“Meow~”

She makes a circle with her hand and meows like a cat, nudging my shoulder playfully. Thankfully, there are hardly any people on the subway, so no one pays any attention to our antics. Besides, I selfishly want to be the only one who sees Heena acting like this.

“You’re a naughty cat. I’ll have to punish you later, okay?”

“Umm, in bed~?”

“In bed.”

“Are you going to punish me a lot?”

“No, aren’t you getting your hopes up too high when I say ‘punish’? This is just a reward disguised as one.”

“No, it’s not~”

Yes, it is. The corners of her lips are already twitching with anticipation.

Lately, our intimate moments have been tailored to Heena’s needs, reminiscent of when she was pregnant, filled with gentle whispers of love. I’ve been consciously avoiding my usual playful teasing, worried about the noise carrying to other rooms in the middle of the night.

Of course, Heena enjoys these tender moments immensely, but I suspect she’s starting to miss my old, teasing ways. After all, she’s hinted at it before, even initiating it herself before I could make a move.

I pulled Heena closer, whispering softly in her ear,

“Should I pin your hands and feet down and tease your bottom until you can’t take it anymore?”

“…!”

She flinched at my words, a shiver running through her.

-Nod.

Her face flushed slightly as she gently nodded. That reaction ignited a fire in me, but I knew jumping straight into it would be too cliché.

“Let’s go on our date first, and then we’ll see. Okay?”

“…Okay. Hehe…”

—

The cat pajamas I bought at the fashion accessory store, not far from the station, were a different style of tabby cat than Heena’s. Hers were more like a Korean Shorthair [a breed of cat common in Korea], while mine were a calico [a cat with a spotted or particolored coat, typically white with patches of color] with black mixed in.

In the end, we ended up with matching couple outfits, which made Heena very happy. It would have been nice to get similar ones for all three of us, but there was only one type available at the baby store and here, so we didn’t have a choice.

After finishing my pajama shopping, we decided to take advantage of being out and about to explore the neighborhood.

“There are so many cafes in this alley. And they all have such unique interiors!”

“Should we come back here later to relax? We can check out the one we like best and take some pictures.”

“Yeah! Oh, that one looks nice! The little flowerpots are so cute! Let’s take a picture in front of it!”

The first pretty cafe street we found really ignited Heena’s passion for taking couple photos. We ended up snapping tons of pictures in front of various cafes.

After that, we strolled around the downtown area near the station, like we usually do. Since it was a new neighborhood, it felt refreshing.

While browsing in a bag store, Heena spotted a laptop bag and called me over.

“Do you need a laptop bag?”

“No, I’m okay. Our laptop is so small. I can just put it in my bag with my books.”

“That’s the one I used to use… Isn’t it uncomfortable? It might be a little small for you…”

“I thought so too at first, but it’s actually really convenient because it’s small. It’s also light, so it’s easy to carry around. It’s not so small that I can’t type on it.”

“Really? Hmm~ Maybe I should buy something similar when I go back to school.”

“A classmate told me last time that the next generation of our laptop is out. They say it’s even lighter?”

I was using Heena’s old laptop. Now that she’s going back to school, we’ll need another one.

To be honest, I didn’t think I’d need a laptop for class, but that idea was shattered in the first week of lectures. A laptop was essential. Taking notes was much easier and smoother, and I had to search for things during lectures all the time.

“Then the same model as yours will be a little cheaper, right? Should we buy different colors and have a matching set?”

“I don’t think we need to go that far with the ‘couple’ stuff… We don’t even have overlapping classes. You should buy something that’s comfortable for you to use.”

“Still~ If our love grows a little more, we might even bring Sarang [their pet] and study together at a cafe!”

“Do we need more couple items when we already have Sarang?”

“…That’s true?”

Having the ultimate symbol of our couple sitting next to us kind of ends the debate. Could matching laptops even have more meaning than Sarang?

“If you really want to match, let’s get matching covers. I’ve been thinking about buying one anyway.”

“That’s a great idea! Okay! Let’s do that!”

Heena clapped and cheered at my suggestion, and we looked around at other bags a bit more before leaving the store.

After that, we stopped by a clothing store nearby to try on matching outfits, and of course, we grabbed a chicken skewer from a street vendor to share.

Whenever we go on a date, I always end up buying one or two because of me. Heena knows I like them, so she always asks, ‘Do you want one?’ whenever she sees them.

But something has definitely changed.

“This is the last one. Eating too many isn’t good for you!”

Is it that she’s become more directly concerned about my health, and won’t let me eat too many? I usually only have one or two as a snack anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal since I didn’t want to get full.

Still, she never used to stop me when I said I wanted one, but now she’s putting on the brakes a lot more often.

I always obediently comply because I’m grateful she’s worried about me.

As we walked past the street stalls and reached a large intersection, a store caught my eye.

Namely…

[Adult Shop]

I was startled the moment I recognized the sign. I couldn’t believe there was an adult store so openly displayed on this main street.

It’s located on the 3rd or 4th floor, so I can’t see what it’s like inside, but looking at the interior through the window, it didn’t have a gloomy atmosphere at all. Instead, it was very bright, almost like a clothing boutique.

As I stared at it with a mix of curiosity and wonder, Heena stopped beside me and followed my gaze.

After looking at the same spot in silence for a moment, Heena spoke in a slightly excited voice.

“Do you want to go in?”
