My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 127

Ep. 126

“Wait a minute. Sarang is looking at me like she wants a kiss, are you really going to go first?”

I pointed at Sarang while saying that, amidst Heena’s eagerness to shower me with kisses. Of course, Sarang wasn’t really giving me that look; she was just wide-eyed, looking around again.

But despite my words, Heena slowly started approaching me.

“You said I’m pretty, right? Your pretty wife is waiting for a kiss, and you’re going to kiss Sarang first?”

“Since she’s the mom, shouldn’t she yield to her daughter once…”

“I already yielded! I kissed Sarang, so isn’t it my turn now?!”

“That’s true, too.”

She was quiet when I kissed Sarang just now. Actually, I was just teasing, so there was no reason I couldn’t kiss Heena. But now the situation has turned a little awkward.

Because Heena’s voice suddenly got louder, the moms and elderly people sitting a little further away were whispering and looking this way.

“Can’t you do it later? People are staring.”

“What does it matter? You just did it for Sarang! You like Sarang more than me!”

“I love you and Sarang equally, there’s no ‘who I like more.’”

“Then why won’t you do it for me!”

“People are star…”

“So you like Sarang more?!”

“Ugh.”

– Chu!

I felt like it would never end if I kept going like this, so I just pulled Heena’s head and kissed her. At the same time, I faintly heard whispers of ‘Oh my~’ in my ear.

Ignore it, ignore it.

And only after that short kiss did Heena regain her composure, though with a hint of regret.

“I wanted to do it longer…”

“You know that’s not going to happen here, right? I’ll make it up to you at home later.”

“Are you going to do it for me first at home?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“Hehehe… Sarang~ Mommy’s going to get a kiss first at home, okay?”

“She’s bragging to Sarang again.”

I let out a hollow laugh and looked at Heena, who was rocking the stroller back and forth, when I suddenly felt someone behind me. So, while sitting on the bench, I turned my head to look behind me.

“…Um, should I come back later?”

“No, it’s okay…”

Jueun’s mom, whom I had recently become friendly with, was standing there with the most awkward face in the world.

Well, it was understandable since she had seen that up close!

—

Although an uncomfortable atmosphere lingered for a moment, I cleared my throat to change the mood and started a conversation with Jueun’s mom after a week.

“It was hard to jump in since you two were doing that… right in front of me…”

I didn’t know what to say to Jueun’s mom, Jaehee, who was saying that with a somewhat dazed expression. I would have just turned around and left if I were her.

Of course, Heena thought that level of affection was normal between couples, so she greeted Jaehee as if nothing had happened.

“It’s been a while, Unnie [older sister/female friend].”

“It’s been a while, Heena. Come to think of it, you guys came out together again today?”

“Yeonhoo doesn’t have lectures on Thursdays.”

“Still, you must be busy… Yeonhoo is so sweet. I’m jealous, really~”

“My darling is a bit like that!”

“I’m embarrassed, Heena…”

This was only my second time meeting Jaehee, but we talked for quite a long time when we met last time because we got along better than I thought. We also exchanged childcare information as new parents.

Besides, she didn’t seem to have a bad impression of our public displays of affection, so I was secretly hoping that we could meet again and become friends.

There was no harm in building a friendship as parents raising children of similar ages in the same neighborhood.

“Do you come out every day, Noona [older sister/female friend]?”

“Almost? I have nothing to do after finishing housework. It’s also stuffy to be inside all the time, and Jueun likes going out too.”

“Our Sarang also loves taking walks… Should I come out alone? I want to do it together with the three of us, but…”

Heena frowns and contemplates for a moment. I understood her feelings because I also liked spending time like this with the three of us. But the truth was that I was busy, so I couldn’t come out every day.

Would it be okay to come out early or late? But night walks are a bit… If Sarang’s crying wakes us up in the morning.

“Hmm… then shall we take a walk early in the morning? It’s not that chilly these days, and Sarang cries around that time anyway, so we wake up. I wouldn’t mind taking a walk around the neighborhood at that time.”

“That’s a good idea! Yeah, I’ll do it! Should we do it right away from tomorrow?”

“Okay~”

Jaehee sighed with an envious face at our appearance, which quickly set the schedule for tomorrow morning.

“I’m jealous… I’m so jealous that you guys are so lovey-dovey…”

I felt sorry for her as she said that with a very dark face. Well, most husbands wouldn’t be able to do this like us because of work.

“Should Noona also come out with your husband on the weekends…?”

“He’s been busy lately, so he goes to work even on weekends… And he’s very tired on the days he doesn’t. He earns that much money, so life is a bit easier… But honestly, I wish he would earn a little less and be with me.”

“I understand, Unnie. I also sometimes think that I want to drop everything, including studying, and just have Yeonhoo by my side.”

Jaehee looked at Heena with a dumbfounded face as she nodded in agreement.

“Isn’t that too much to ask for? I just wish I could go for a walk with my baby like Yeonhoo, even if it’s just once a week.”

“But, I get more greedy as time goes on…”

“What if Yeonhoo gets too tired because of that?”

“I’m sorry for always being stubborn…”

“Sorry for what. It’s a break for me to come out with you like this with Sarang. I can’t handle my assignments without something like this.”

“Honey…!”

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought it up. So, can you stop? I want to go home because I’m jealous!”

I decided to refrain from being lovey-dovey with Heena here at Noona’s cry, filled with envy. It wasn’t like we were trying to rub it in on purpose.

After that, the three of us sat side by side on the bench and talked about our recent news and our children.

“Do you know that our Jueun succeeded in flipping over?”

“Really?! Sarang failed again yesterday! It was so close yesterday~”

“But isn’t it so cute to see Sarang trying to flip her body over? I just wish she would keep failing.”

“I know that feeling! It’s so cute that we took a hundred videos of Jueun trying to flip over!”

“Wow, everyone does that. We took that many too, right?”

“Probably? Oppa [older brother/male friend] and Dad must have taken that many separately.”

You can talk about these childcare stories online, but it was fun to actually meet and hear each other’s vivid stories like this. And we can also share opinions on whether our child is late or not, and what is normal when they show certain behaviors.

“I’m curious about what Sarang was like… If you have the video now, can you show it to me?”

“Yes, just a moment.”

At Noona’s request, I took out my smartphone and played the video. Inside the screen, the whole family gathered around Sarang and cheered her on.

[Ueueue!!]

[Cheer up, Han Sarang! Just a little more! Hey! I can’t help her, can I?!]

[Hee-sung hyung [older brother/male friend] is banned from approaching Sarang from now on. How dare you try to interfere with Sarang’s flipping try.]

[Our princess, fighting~ Arm! Just a little more to the side!]

[Pfft… Honey! Do you see Sarang waving her arms and legs? It’s so cute~]

[Oh, oh! Side! It’s all the way to the side! Puh-ha, euhehehehehehe!! What do we do, she can’t go over because of her right arm!]

[I’m going crazy, really. I want to help too… Sarang, cheer up! Dad is watch… Ah, she’s crying.]

[Ugh… Waaaaah!!]

[What to do~ She must be annoyed because she can’t do it. Yeongcha, our Sarang, can’t flip over well? That’s right, you’ll be able to do it soon~ Don’t cry~]

[Too bad, she almost made it.]

In the end, Sarang failed to flip over and the short video ended with Sarang hugging Heena while crying.

And as soon as Jaehee saw that, she burst out laughing.

“Ahahaha!! Sarang is so cute!”

“Right?”

“The family is also very harmonious~ You said you live at Heena’s house? It must be worth it for Yeonhoo to live with his in-laws?”

“I’ve been living there for about a year now… Besides, everyone helps a lot with taking care of Sarang, so I can’t escape.”

“Ah~ It’s really helpful to have a lot of people. It was like that when I lived at my parents’ house too…”

We were talking about that while turning our eyes to the two babies lying quietly in the stroller. Jueun was constantly looking at Sarang, who was right in front of her, as if she was fascinated, and Sarang’s gaze was…

“But Sarang is looking at Yeonhoo right now, right?”

“It seems like it since she’s making eye contact with me.”

“Doesn’t she want to be held by her dad?”

“Maybe? Sarang~ Should Dad hold you?”

“Awoo…”

There are times when I lose to the cat, but when I’m nearby, Sarang basically looks at me a lot. Especially since she started recognizing the people around her.

“You two are doing that eye contact thing again…”

That’s why Heena gets jealous like this. I don’t know if it’s to Sarang or to me.

“Come to think of it, I’m thirsty, should I buy some water…”

At that voice that seemed to be in a bad mood, I stopped moving towards Sarang and slightly avoided Heena’s gaze, which had become sullen. As I turned to go to the nearby convenience store for a moment, Heena grabbed me.

“It’s okay. Why don’t you stay with Sarang? I’ll buy it since I’m second to Sarang and you.”

“You know that’s not true~ Why are you doing this again.”

“Hmph, anyway, I’ll go. Is there anything you want to eat besides water? You like the fried food they sell at the convenience store over there. Should I buy one?”

“No, it’s okay. I can go.”

“You were tired from pulling the stroller and holding Sarang while coming here. I’ll be right back!”

Then she quickly walked away from sight. Jaehee quietly watched our interaction and then opened her mouth with a slight smile.

“Heena is really good to you. But so are you… Well, that’s why you two get along so well~”

“Haha… Well, she sometimes gets jealous of Sarang… But that’s kind of cute too.”

“…Why does my heart hurt when I talk to you guys? My husband has been good to me too, although he’s been a bit busy lately… I’ve always been envied by my friends! We get along really well too!”

I had nothing to say to Noona, who was expressing her recent resentful feelings with frustration, except to laugh. At the same time, I pondered Noona’s words in my heart.

Heena is good to me.

Well, she really was. Compared to when we first started dating, Heena was showing much more emotion and possessiveness, but she was still very good to me.

It was now taken for granted that she took care of every little thing in my daily life, and she helped me with my college-related studies and assignments even more diligently than her own work.

To be honest, I did study hard, but the reason I was doing well in this university, which was a bit higher than my level, was because of Heena’s support.

She coordinates the clothes I wear every day so I don’t have to worry about it, she knows and takes care of the consumables I use better than I do, and she helps me with my studies.

Besides, she seemed to be bothered by the fact that I did most of the cooking when I was living alone, so she was practicing cooking with her mother-in-law. Thanks to that, she is getting better and better.

In that situation, I couldn’t even imagine a life without Heena.

I was confident that I would be flustered from the moment I woke up in the morning, even if Heena was away for just a day or two from tomorrow.
