My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 135

Ep. 134

“Ugh, Heena’s mad, why are you talking about games?”

I was confused, but not so out of my mind that I’d accept that suggestion. But despite my refusal, Heesung *hyung* [older brother or male friend] kept persistently at it.

“Are you going to figure it out by worrying here? You don’t even know why she’s like that. Then it’s probably nothing big, right? If it was serious, you’d know the moment the atmosphere turned sour.”

“No, but still…”

“At most, she’s acting up because you forgot to be affectionate or something. It’s not an anniversary, is it?”

Anniversary? An anniversary, huh.

I don’t know how Heesung *hyung* knows so surely that we don’t have any special anniversaries, but it’s true, it’s not an anniversary.

In fact, I’ve set alarms for all our major anniversaries. The problem is, we don’t really do anything even when they come around.

From the start, what’s important to Heena is being with me, not *chaenggyeojuneun* [taking care of] those little days one by one.

Thanks to that, the only anniversary worth *chaenggyeojuneun* in the future is probably Sarang’s first birthday. Heena’s been looking forward to that day, already talking about what she’s going to do. It’s also close to mine and Heena’s birthdays. Come to think of it, all three of our birthdays are pretty close.

Anyway, I was slightly swayed by Heesung *hyung’s* coaxing. It’s been so long since I’ve played a proper game.

“Going all night is a bit much, but how about until just before she wakes up for dinner?”

“Until before dinner…”

“Hey, we bought that game together over a year ago, and we still haven’t played it.”

Like the devil’s whisper, *hyung’s* words seeped into my heart.

Even until dinner is too long, but wouldn’t it be okay to play for just a little bit? If my complicated mind clears up a bit while playing the game, maybe something will come to mind?

“Ha, should we play for just an hour…?”

“That’s the spirit! If you smash a game, everything will be resolved…”

-Click

“……”

Heesung was excitedly raising his voice when the sound of the door opening made both of us instantly clam up.

Not only that, *hyung* sat down on the floor, hugging his knees and further erasing his presence. I, too, sat quietly on the sofa, sweating bullets.

I wondered if Heena had heard the conversation, so I didn’t even dare to look at her, but I heard Heena’s footsteps heading towards the kitchen.

-Pour

When I glanced over there, Heena was holding a cup and getting water from the water purifier. Once the cup was filled, she brought it to me, placed a glass of water and two pills on the table in front of me, and then went back into the room.

Only after the door closed again could I finally exhale. It was as tense as watching a thriller. Heesung *hyung* also finally got up and wiped away his sweat.

“Wow, that scared the crap out of me. What was that?”

“Vitamins. The ones I take every lunch.”

“She brought those to you?”

“Yeah.”

The *jonghap bitaminje* [multivitamin] Heena brought, which my mother-in-law had bought for me to take care of my health, caught my eye. I always took them around lunchtime, so it was about that time, but Heena’s thoughtfulness in *chaenggyeojuneun* [taking care of] me these even while she’s angry was touching.

Right, if Heena’s angry, I should be thinking about how to resolve it, not playing games!

Thanks to that, I was able to regain my composure, which had been wavering for a moment. And I started *gomin* [worrying/thinking hard] again. What could I have forgotten?

But next to me, Heesung *hyung* started coaxing me again.

“This is a sure thing. If she was really pissed, would she be *chaenggyeojuneun* [taking care of] you this stuff? She’s about to cool down. Let’s just smash a game.”

“No way. I’ll play when Heena’s anger is resolved.”

But my heart had become as solid as a fortress thanks to Heena’s vitamin delivery. Unlike before, my answer was firm, and Heesung *hyung* sighed.

“Ha… this is the perfect opportunity…”

Opportunity, my foot. Honestly, if Heena had heard us a little earlier, it would have been a death sentence.

—

I sent *hyung* back to his room and *gomin* [thought hard] on the sofa for a while longer, but the conclusion was the same. The only thing I can do is face it head-on. If I can’t figure it out after *gomin* [thinking] this much, then it must be something I can’t even imagine is the problem.

Instead of worrying and fretting over it, it would be better to just stick to Heena and ask her.

What’s Heena going to do, hit me or curse at me? She’ll just be cutely angry like before.

Heesung *hyung* kept clinging to me until the end, even suggesting that I should just fight fire with fire and get angry with her, but that method wasn’t even worth *gomin* [considering].

The moment I try to get angry, Heena will definitely start crying and making a fuss, and I can’t stand to see that. I’d rather beg for forgiveness and do the *geurenjeol* [a deep, respectful bow].

-Thump, thump

Of course, regardless of that mindset, my heart was pounding with tension.

-Knock, knock

With a trembling hand, I gently knocked on the door. It hadn’t been long since I fed *bunyu* [formula], so Sarang might be sleeping.

Come to think of it, it was the first time I’d knocked on this door since we started living together. It’s not like anyone else, Heena was okay with me going in no matter what she was doing inside.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me. I’m coming in.”

“…Hmph.”

I opened the door slowly, hearing a slightly subdued hum, unlike before. I was determined to go in unless she explicitly told me not to.

As I opened the door, Sarang was on the bed, wriggling while lying on her stomach, and Heena was looking away, her upper body pressed against the bed.

Since Sarang had learned to flip over, she had started crawling little by little, so it seemed Heena had been watching her.

I approached Heena, who was pointedly not looking at me as if staging a protest, and carefully sat next to her. She remained glued to the bed without moving as I approached.

Sarang was busy crawling, so it seemed okay to leave her alone for a while. So, I wrapped my arm around Heena’s waist and gently pulled her towards me.

She made a gesture to push me away with one arm, but there was no strength in it.

“…Go away.”

“Heena, look at me. Huh?”

“I don’t know.”

“Won’t you tell me what I did wrong? I’ll never do it again.”

“…Hmph.”

It had probably been about six hours since Heena locked herself in the room. Being in the same house but separated from me must have been even more difficult for Heena than for me.

When we’re home, her default is always holding Sarang and leaning on me.

Thanks to that, Heena’s struggles were completely devoid of strength. It was almost as if she wanted me to hold her tighter.

I moved my body completely behind Heena, hugging her from behind with both arms and pressing my lips to the back of her neck.

-Chu!

Heena’s body flinched at the same time, but I ignored it and continued to kiss her there.

Then, Heena waved her arm behind her back again like before, but I grabbed that arm with one hand and put my lips on her fingers.

The hand that was around Heena’s waist gently moved upwards, starting a sensual touch, and the hand holding hers kissed each of her fingers.

“It’s all my fault. I love you.”

“…Without even knowing what it is…”

“I’m sorry for not knowing. Please forgive me just this once.”

“Heu-eup…”

Sweet moans began to flow out with my touch and kisses. Hearing that, I pulled Heena back so that her body would fall off the bed.

Supporting Heena’s limp body with one arm, I grabbed her face, which was turned to the side, with the other hand.

And tilting my body to the left, I pressed my lips to Heena’s left cheek and mouth.

-Chu, chu!

At the same time, I kept whispering in her ear.

“You know I can’t do anything when you’re this angry, right? I haven’t been able to move a single step from the living room because I wanted to see you since a while ago.”

“……”

“Yeah. I don’t have any energy because I can’t talk to you or hug you like this.”

“…Really?”

Seeing her give me a short answer to my words, it seemed like she was ready to talk. So, I released all the arms I was holding and moved back to Heena’s side.

Then, Heena’s face, which began to be seen slightly, looked very sullen, and there were slight tears in her eyes.

I glanced to make sure Sarang was in a safe position, then gently hugged Heena.

“Could you tell me what I did wrong?”

“……”

“Please.”

“…You yesterday…”

Finally!

Of course, it was fortunate that Heena’s anger was subsiding, but I was so curious about what caused it.

What did I do wrong?!

If I just heard this, I felt like I could sleep soundly tonight. The frustration was completely relieved.

Heena, who had been hesitating and unable to speak for a while, finally opened her mouth slowly.

“Before going to bed…”

“Yeah. Before I went to bed?”

“…You didn’t do it…”

“Do what?”

“Kiss…”

“……??”

And finally, upon hearing the reason for her anger, my brain short-circuited.

A kiss? Seriously, she was mad at me today because I didn’t give her a goodnight kiss? Really? The first time she’s been angry in three or four years, and it’s because I didn’t give her a goodnight kiss? Is this for real?

Holy shit.

“T-That’s all… ?”

Honestly, I was dumbfounded. Under normal circumstances, I would have said something like, ‘Yeah, I was wrong. I’m really sorry. I won’t do it again,’ and begged for forgiveness, but this was a bit much, wasn’t it?

Heena must have sensed my thoughts from the nuance of my words, as she pounded on my chest, expressing her anger.

“‘That’s all’? I’ve been taking good care of Sarang lately! And studying hard! And practicing cooking!!”

“That’s… you’re doing well. You’re doing great. I’ll praise you.”

“So every day is hard, but!! I’m still looking forward to you kissing me before I go to sleep, and that’s what keeps me going!!”

“That much?”

My goodnight kiss is enough to make her forget the hardships of the day?

“This morning too! You didn’t even give me a kiss when I woke up!!”

“Ah, so that’s why you asked me that this morning.”

Whether I forgot the goodnight kiss and the good morning kiss.

“I know you’re busy and tired these days, but! That’s the most important thing to me all day!”

“Oh, was it? Sorry. My bad.”

“You promised! To kiss me when I wake up in the morning! And when I go to bed! And every time you leave and come home!”

Come to think of it, I did make that promise.

“You’ve forgotten all your promises to me!”

“No. I haven’t forgotten.”

“You have! You looked like you didn’t know anything even when I asked!”

“Well…”

I roughly grasped the reason why Heena was angry.

Well, it’s not just that I didn’t give her morning and evening kisses, but she must have been very upset that I thought I had forgotten the promise itself.

I emphasized it a lot when I told her before, but I didn’t know Heena would give it so much meaning. I just thought she liked skinship a lot.

Right.

To be honest, I had completely forgotten about the promise.

“I’m really sorry. But it’s not that I forgot it…”

“…Then?”

“I’ve been kissing you so naturally that I unconsciously overlooked it. I’ve been so tired these days because I have a lot of assignments… I was really sleepy yesterday.”

“……”

“So, I couldn’t think for a moment as soon as I woke up this morning because my head was so dizzy.”

It was a roundabout way of saying that I had forgotten, but I did my best to talk.

“Still, I shouldn’t have forgotten to kiss you… Please forgive me. 응? [a Korean expression of agreement or seeking reassurance, similar to ‘okay?’ or ‘right?’]”

“…Did your head hurt? Are you okay now?”

“I feel better after drinking a glass of water you gave me earlier. Thank you. Thanks for taking care of my nutritional supplements too.”

“No… 응… Okay, you might be because you were tired… I’m sorry too… for being so irritable…”

“It’s my fault. I’m sorry.”

Phew, it’s over.

If Heena says ‘I’m sorry too,’ the situation is over.

“Still… kissing me is so, so important to me, so you can’t forget it in the future, even if you’re tired. Got it?”

“Yeah, yeah. I’ll never forget it. Should I make a checklist or something?”

“That would be nice. Let’s print it out and stick it on. So I don’t forget in the future.”

“…Okay. I’ll print it out and laminate it later.”

“응!”

I just threw out the words to cheer Heena up, but I didn’t know she would really tell me to print it out.

Anyway, fortunately, I was able to find out that Heena’s anger really started from something trivial.

It may be important to Heena, but from my point of view, frankly speaking, it felt a bit absurd.

Still, well, it was much healthier than getting angry and annoyed over strange or bad things that you might see on the internet.

In some ways, it was my fault. It was true that I made a promise.

“Ugh!”

I hope Sarang doesn’t get sulky later if I don’t give her a kiss before going to bed.
