Ep. 127
Always helping me and loving me, no matter how much time passes.
Recalling my daily life with Heena, which hasn’t changed since we were just girlfriend and boyfriend, brought a smile to my face.
“I couldn’t have done anything without Heena.”
“I know you two live like lovebirds, so please stop.”
I could brag about Heena for hours.
To steer my sister away from my bragging, I changed the subject back to the babies. I asked how many days they usually try to roll over before succeeding, and if she was thinking of getting a baby walker.
Heena and my mother-in-law probably know and decide most things, but I was curious as a father.
“I’m home!”
In the middle of our lively conversation, Heena returned, carrying a bottle of water and a small snack. She must have bought them for the three of us.
I looked at my wife, who seemed even cuter and prettier today. I’m always grateful to my wife.
Even now, she’s sticking close to me, trying to open the water bottle cap for me—
“You looked like you were having fun with my sister? What were you talking about? Aren’t you getting too close already?”
“Well, listen carefully. I’ll tell you everything I talked about with your sister from beginning to end.”
“…Yeon-hoo must be suffering a lot.”
It would be so nice if her jealousy was just a little, little bit less!
—
After sitting in the playground and talking for a while, it was almost time to feed the babies, so we parted ways. We exchanged numbers this time. She said she takes walks almost every day, so if we let her know when we’re coming out, she’ll come out at the same time.
We liked Jae-hee noona [older sister or female friend], and it would be nice for Sarang to have a friend of the same age in the neighborhood, so there was no reason to refuse.
Leaving the playground, we walked home at a leisurely pace.
-Drrrring
A call came from Su-hwang.
“He’s always chatting in the group chat, why is he calling?”
“Is it Su-hwang?”
“Yeah. I’ll take this quickly. Can you take the stroller?”
“Okay~”
-Beep
“Hello?”
—Hey, Han Yeon! Upload Sarang’s videos to the group chat like crazy!
“What’s with you as soon as I answer… I’m uploading there as much as I send to our family.”
—I saw that Sarang has grown a lot. Are you not able to come out much these days? I want to see Sarang’s face too.
“Going far is still a bit much, but if you come near my house, it’s possible.”
—Really? Then should we gather some of the guys and see her?
“Maybe. I don’t know if I’ll have time, so make sure to contact me before you come.”
—Damn, just because you go to Seoul National University, you’re acting all busy.
“I wish this was just acting busy…”
—Dude, you’re doing a good job managing your grades tightly since your freshman year. You need to get a job quickly after you graduate.
“I know, man. That’s why I’m working hard.”
—And check the group chat. I called because you haven’t replied all day.
“I took a walk with Heena and Sarang today. I’m on my way in now.”
—Ah, I see. Anyway, contact me when you guys have a good day. We want to see Sarang too!
“I’ll check and text you. Bye~”
I ended the short call and put my phone in my pocket.
Sarang’s fans were now so many that it was hard to keep track. Whether it’s family, relatives, or even these friends. Seeing this person or that person too often would stress Sarang out, so we’re meeting them in moderation.
“The guys want to see her?”
“Yeah, they must miss Sarang.”
“Our Sarang is so popular~ Ah! Should we call Ria when you guys meet? Ria really wanted to see Sarang too.”
“Ria? Hmm… that would be good. We’re going together anyway, and if Ria is there, you can have some fun too.”
“Yeah! Let’s set a date tonight.”
“Okay. Come to think of it, she seems really busy too. It’s hard to see her face even at school.”
“Ria’s dad said he’d send her to study in America if she gets good grades. She said she’s going to burn her soul out?”
“Oh…”
She was living diligently.
These days, it was hard to go out and meet friends because of schoolwork and Sarang. Not only my friends, but since leaving the dorm, it was hard to see Ria because she was far away. But it was a relief that she was still in contact with Heena and seemed to be getting along well.
While talking about friends, Sarang suddenly started fussing.
“Uuuuuaaaah…”
“Sarang, what’s wrong? Are you hungry?”
Heena quickly approached Sarang to check if she had pooped or if she was hungry, but Sarang raised her chubby arms, looking at me instead of Heena.
We were both a little taken aback.
“Did she hear my voice? I thought she wasn’t supposed to be able to distinguish people by sight yet?”
“That’s what I know too… Sarang, do you want to go to Daddy?”
“Au!”
As if agreeing with those words, she continued to babble and point her arms towards me, looking straight at me as if she wanted me specifically.
So I lifted Sarang out of the stroller and carefully held her in my arms. Sarang’s lips turned up and she moved her arms and legs around, looking very happy.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but smile. She was so cute.
Okay, our Sarang loves her daddy so much, what can I do? I like Sarang too!
“Sarang~ Did you want to be held by Daddy?”
“Auu…”
“Ah, she’s so cute! Heena, what should I do?! Our Sarang is so cute, I’m going crazy!”
“……”
Next to me, holding Sarang, I was making a fuss, and Heena was pouting, pulling the empty stroller.
“Sarang stole you from me…”
“Stole?~ Heena, look! Sarang is smiling!”
“Auuu-”
“Hehe… Oh, Sarang. Do you like Daddy that much?”
Even Heena couldn’t help but smile when she saw Sarang wriggling in my arms with a smile on her face.
Heena let out a chuckle and stroked Sarang’s cheek. Of course, our Sarang was looking at my face, whether Heena did that or not.
“What to do, Sarang must know that you’re handsome. At this rate, she’ll really say she’s going to marry Daddy later.”
“…I’d be happy if I looked handsome to you and Sarang, but please don’t say that in front of other people.”
If those words came out of Heena’s mouth, the people who heard it would look at us with lukewarm eyes.
“Should we go home like this? Sarang seems to like it.”
“It’s almost home… You know it’s my turn when we get home, right?”
“You want me to hold you like this too?”
“Yeah! Do it! As much as you held Sarang, me too!”
“Ah.”
It was just a casual remark, but I didn’t know she would like it so much, with her eyes shining.
I was sweating at the sight of Heena, who seemed to be expecting so much from my thoughtless words. I could do that princess carry pose for a short time, but holding it in that state was another story. It might be doable since Heena is light.
Holding a bit of worry that suddenly arose, I followed the beaming Heena home. If it’s Heena, she’ll definitely ask me to do everything for her that I did for Sarang today as soon as we get back.
“You’re home?”
“Mom, can you take care of feeding Sarang? I’m going to rest with Yeon-hoo in the room for a bit.”
“Oh my, I’d be grateful if you left her to me. Our princess, did you like being held by Daddy? Now it’s time to eat, right?”
As expected, as soon as we arrived home, she left Sarang to my mother-in-law, who had already prepared the formula.
And after washing our hands and feet, we went straight into the room and faced each other in front of the bed.
To grant Heena’s wish to be princess-carried.
“Heena, it might be dangerous, so can you stand closer to the bed? If I drop you, go that way.”
“Like this?”
“Yeah, like that.”
I’ve piggybacked her or hugged her from the front and lifted her up quite a few times, but trying this was surprisingly the first time. So, with a nervous heart, I looked at Heena, who was wrapping her arms around my neck.
Her eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
As I lowered myself to hug her, Heena turned her body slightly so that I could lift her easily.
I put one hand under Heena’s armpits and the other on the back of her knees, then lifted her up in one swift motion without hesitation. I thought we would both get hurt if I moved awkwardly.
And fortunately, I was able to succeed in one go without staggering.
“Kya! I did it!”
“It’s easier than I thought.”
“Am I not heavy?”
“Not at all. This is really only possible because you’re light.”
“Reaally~?”
This was sincere. I thought it would be hard to hold her for a long time even if I succeeded, but Heena was lighter than I expected. She also moves her body a lot because of Sarang, and Heena usually eats small portions, so that seemed to be the reason. She was so light that I was worried about her health.
“You need to eat a lot. I’m worried because you’re too light. Are you going to suddenly collapse?”
“Oh, come on~ Are you suddenly saying pretty things?”
-Chu! Chu!
Because of the position, Heena’s face was right next to my face. From there, she kept kissing me on the cheek. I turned my head and kissed Heena, thinking I should finish my kiss quota for today.
Saying it’s a quota makes it sound like I’m doing it reluctantly, but it just means I have to do it more than I did for Sarang.
“Eung… Chup…”
As soon as I turned my head, she mixed her tongue in as if she had been waiting. I obediently complied with her aggressive movements, which strongly grabbed my neck and stirred around inside my mouth.
While kissing like that, I slowly lowered Heena onto the bed. It was okay for a while, but even if she was light, it was impossible to hold a person who weighs over 40 kilos [approximately 88 pounds] for a long time.
Even in the midst of that, Heena didn’t let go of my arm and pulled me in as it was. So I took a position to look down at her, and this time I pushed my tongue into Heena’s mouth.
I gently bit and sucked on her soft, moist lips, and then we shared passionate kisses for a while.
Gradually, I took my lips off and made eye contact.
I was going to stop here because we had to eat, but Heena didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so, as the arm around my neck didn’t loosen.
“You know it’s not enough yet, right?”
“I think I did as much as I did for Sarang.”
“I know you did it twice for Sarang when you woke up this morning? You only did it once for me then. You also kissed Sarang twice in the shoe rack before we left for a walk.”
“……”
She was watching all that… no, she was counting? But actually, I did it about three more times when Heena was showering in the morning. I have to keep that quiet—
“And you were holding Sarang when I was showering, so you must have done it a few times then too, right?”
“You’re a ghost.”
“Then you’ve done it twice as much for Sarang than for me today… I can’t tolerate that.”
As expected of Heena! She knows everything about me!
“I want you to be all mine. You know I can’t give that up to Sarang, right?”
Saying that, she let go of my arm and stroked my lips with her thumb. Lips stained with our saliva.
“It’ll still take time for Sarang to finish her formula… so.”
At the same time, she licked her own lips and continued seductively.
“Kiss me so intensely that I can’t breathe. Okay?”
“Hoo… I really have no choice.”
A Sarang’s mom who doesn’t want to lose the number of skinship [physical affection] to Sarang. That was so Heena.
“Open your mouth. I’ll make it so breathless for 5 minutes.”
“Hehehe… Please, honey.”
From then on, until we heard someone calling us from outside, I suppressed Heena and coveted her lips, her saliva, her tongue. I coveted all of it.
To satisfy this jealous wife, I did my best.
