My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 154

Ep. 153

Even though Heena was having a hard time, she was gradually finding her own ways to cope.

For example, she started taking a lot more photos and videos, perhaps in preparation for the times when she couldn’t see me.

Actually, there are so many photo frames of us in the house that I can see her face no matter where I look.

Besides that, the physical affection when we’re together… how should I put it?

“Honey, more… do more.”

“Heena, we’ve been kissing for over an hour now…”

“Sarang is sleeping next to us, so we can’t have sex. Don’t you want to kiss me…?”

“No, why does it sound like that… Okay. Then let me just get a glass of water first.”

“I want some too.”

“Ah, then I’ll pour a lot…”

“Feed it to me with your mouth.”

Every night, she craved kisses until her lips were swollen. And it wasn’t just her lips.

– 쪽! 쪽! [Kissing sounds]

“Aww… 츕…” [Sound of a kiss]

“Please spare above the neck. It’ll be weird if people see it when I take Sarang to daycare.”

“Okay… 츄릅…” [Sound of slurping]

“Hoo…”

She put her lips all over my body, licked me, and smelled me, as if trying to imprint my scent more strongly in her mind. Honestly, even now, it’s a bit embarrassing when she puts her nose on me and smells me like that, but I couldn’t stop Heena.

If it could cheer Heena up even a little, I could endure anything. Of course, I mean enduring the embarrassment, but I couldn’t help but get turned on by this aggressive physical affection and head to the bathroom with her.

However, if we went all the way, the sound would echo, so we only did other things. And even those things, she did with more care, with her hands or her mouth.

And when Sarang was with us, she kept making me hold Sarang, hugging me from behind.

Even though Sarang likes me a lot, if we keep doing this, she might get frustrated and whine, but our Sarang showed no signs of that.

Just like Heena, Sarang quietly snuggled into my arms without a word.

“…”

I often hear that Sarang is quiet, but that just means she doesn’t run around or make too much noise; it doesn’t mean she never talks or is always silent.

But when I held her tightly in my arms, she became silent as if she had returned to being a baby.

“Sarang, aren’t you uncomfortable? Should I let you go?”

“No. Sarang wikes dis [likes this].”

“Really?”

“Yeah…”

“I like this too, honey.”

“If you guys like it, well…”

However, recently, Heesung hyung [older brother], who had been quite displeased with our behavior, grumbled from the side.

“Aren’t you hot? Why are you always doing that when you come home?”

“Jealous?”

“Give Sarang to me…”

He must have been very jealous of Sarang clinging to me like a cat. After all, when other people held her, she would only stay for a moment before saying, ‘Sarang, let me down now,’ and coming down.

It’s not like I wouldn’t let Sarang go if she wanted to.

“Wike [like] it here…”

“She likes it here.”

“Hoo…”

My brother sighed at Sarang’s answer, who was getting drowsy as if she would fall asleep soon. Still, he checks the status of the smartphone on the tripod that Heena had set up.

The videos that are being filmed without fail every day, piling up more and more. With the enlistment date approaching, my heart grew heavier day by day.

Will the mother and daughter clinging to me be satisfied with watching those videos?

—

Time flew by like an arrow. It was really just around the corner now.

Honestly, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t worried about the military, but I was even more worried about Heena and Sarang.

Heena and I always spend most of our time together, but lately, it felt like she wasn’t getting enough, even though we were sticking together even more.

And Sarang was in her element, thanks to the longer time I spent taking care of her directly, without leaving her with other family members.

Originally, she would go to Heesung hyung equally, then stick to my mother-in-law or father-in-law, but now she only looks for me, as if she felt that I was paying a lot of attention to her.

“Daddy! Today! Jooeun showed Sarang a meowmy [mommy] doll! And it’s yellow!”

“Really?”

“Yeah! Yewwow [yellow] meowmy [mommy] is cuute [cute] too!”

Looking at Sarang chattering away on my lap today, I thought that trying to spend as much time with her as possible before going to the training camp might have backfired.

I feel like she’ll throw a fit if I don’t show up for even a day. I don’t know if she’ll be okay. This wasn’t just my concern; all the family members were worried about it.

Everyone in the family loves Sarang, and Sarang loves them too, but they wouldn’t be able to fill my void.

The only person who could comfort Sarang would be Heena, but I don’t know if Heena will be able to keep her composure to that extent.

Heena was perfect in most things, but she couldn’t maintain her composure when it came to me.

“Honey, I’m ready.”

“Then shall we go?”

“Yeah.”

When Heena finished getting ready and came out of the room, I picked up Sarang and got up from my seat. The place we were going to was a hair salon that we frequented.

If you ask why we’re going there, it’s obviously to get a haircut. Enlistment was just around the corner. Actually, I was thinking of going alone quickly, but Heena suggested we go together for a family outing, so I waited until the weekend.

“Sarang wanna [want to] wear meowmy [mommy] shoes!”

“Okay. Can Sarang put them on by herself?”

“Yeah!”

While Sarang was sitting alone at the shoe rack, putting on her squeaky shoes, I swept Heena’s hair back. At first glance, she seemed to be smiling slightly, but I could feel that she had no strength at all.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m okay. Sorry for making you worry.”

“It’s okay.”

Any more shallow words of comfort were useless to Heena. No matter what I said, the fact that we wouldn’t see each other for five weeks was set in stone, and there was nothing more I could do.

Except to spend as much time together as possible, as Heena wished.

-Squeak! Squeak!

“All done!”

“Now you can put on your shoes by yourself. You’ve grown up so much, our Sarang~”

“Grown up! I wanna [want to] hold Daddy’s hand!”

“Shall we? Heena, give me your hand too.”

“Okay.”

Usually, the child is placed in the middle, or the mother is in the middle, but in our case, I was always in the middle because they both wanted to hold my hand more.

As we walked hand in hand through the neighborhood, I felt strangely emotional, thinking that I wouldn’t be able to see this place for a while.

Wow, I’m only training for five weeks and commuting from home, but how do other people endure it for almost two years?

I felt a sense of respect for my friends who used to tease me like crazy. It wasn’t for nothing that they were always whining every time they came out on vacation.

“But where are Sarang and Daddy and Mommy going?”

“We’re going to get Daddy’s hair cut. Do you remember the lady who made Sarang’s hair pretty?”

“Yeah! The lady who gave Sarang candy!”

How does she remember people by the type of food they give her, not by their appearance? She’s my daughter, but still.

“After Daddy gets his hair cut, let’s go eat something delicious with Mommy.”

“Wanna [want to] eat ice cweam [cream]!”

“Han Sarang. I told you, not before eating, right?”

“Yeah… Wanna [want to] eat yummy and then eat ice cweam [cream].”

Seeing Heena disciplining Sarang like this, it seems like she’ll take good care of her when I’m gone. I just hope so. After all, besides me, the person Sarang can rely on the most is Heena.

Heena spoke kindly to Sarang, who had become slightly sulky at the slightly stern tone.

“Shall we go eat your favorite hamburg [hamburger steak] later?”

Not a hamburger, but a hamburg steak. The kind that comes in a children’s set at a family restaurant.

I remembered eating those things when I was young, so I took Sarang to eat them from time to time, and she liked them more than I thought.

Even now, she was jumping up and down at the word ‘hamburg [hamburger steak].’

“Wuv [love] hamburg [hamburger steak]! Sarang wuv [love] hamburg [hamburger steak] so yummy! Mommy! When we gooing [going]!?”

“After Daddy gets his hair cut. Can Sarang wait patiently?”

“Can wait!”

“If Sarang is good and quiet today, we’ll eat hamburg [hamburger steak] and ice cream too.”

“Weally [really]?! Daddy! Mommy said! We eat hamburg [hamburger steak] and ice cweam [cream]!”

“Sarang is so lucky~ You have to be a good girl today, okay?”

“Yeah! Sarang is a good giwl [girl]!”

I took Sarang, who was happy, and Heena, who seemed dark but also happy about the family outing, to the hair salon we had booked.

Our family all uses this place, so it’s quite familiar. We always book the same person to be in charge, so it was fixed.

And today, when I asked her to give me a 15mm buzz cut and shave the sides, not the usual style, she looked at me with surprised eyes.

“Yeonwoo-ssi [Mr. Yeonwoo], are you enlisting?”

“Yes. Next week.”

“Ah… that’s why Heena-ssi’s [Ms. Heena’s] expression is a bit…”

“Well, yeah.”

Heena’s face, sitting next to Sarang in the back seat and waiting for me, must have looked quite dark to the designer.

Anyway, even though she was a female hair designer, she had heard a lot of stories from various places, so we talked about the military for a short time while she cut my hair.

It was just a buzz cut and shaving the sides, so it was over in an instant. Usually, it took at least an hour.

After she finished washing my hair and I looked in the mirror, I saw a familiar yet awkward face. I could see at a glance how much of a presence hair occupies in a person.

Feeling that my hair had become very empty, I went outside, and Sarang ran to me with wide eyes.

“Daddy! Haiw [hair] gone!!”

“How’s Daddy?”

“Wuv [love] it! But still wuv [love] Daddy most!”

“Thank you, Sarang…”

Yeah. It’s enough if Sarang likes it. Still, I felt like crying because I had never cut my hair this short in my life.

The problem was, I just felt like crying because the hair that had been with me for over twenty years was gone.

“Hic…”

Heena was really crying.
