My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 167

Ep. 166

I couldn’t contain my excitement, completely lost in the screen of the handheld game console.

-♪♬♪~

It felt wrong to play without sound, so I turned the volume down to the lowest setting. I wanted to connect it to the TV and play on a big screen, but I hesitated.

And there was something else that made me happy besides playing the game. Was it the thrill of playing games in the early morning without my wife knowing?

It made me more nervous and more fun than just playing the game itself.

So, I set the vibration alarm on my smartphone for two hours later and focused on the game. My fingers moved without hesitation. I had been mentally rehearsing what to do all day.

But as I slowly began to immerse myself, someone put their hand on my shoulder.

-Thud

“What?!”

Startled by the sudden touch, I turned around.

Heeseong hyung [older brother/friend] was standing there, smiling and looking down at me.

“Ah, geez, you scared me.”

“Scaredy-cat.”

I was relieved that it wasn’t Heena, but my heart was still pounding. I thought it was going to jump out of my chest. Why do both siblings enjoy sneaking up on people so much?

Heeseong hyung seemed amused by my reaction and laughed quietly, then looked at the game console I was holding.

“Is it fun?”

“It’s more fun than I thought.”

“How far have you gotten?”

“It’s hard to explain how far. I’ve been focusing on exploration rather than following the main story.”

Playing a game is fun, of course, but it’s also great to talk to someone about a game I’m enjoying.

We sat side by side on the sofa and continued our game talk for a while, keeping our voices down so we wouldn’t be too loud.

“Wow, you’ve already gotten this far? You didn’t just start playing today.”

“…I installed it yesterday and played for a little bit.”

“Show me the play time. You must have played for almost 7 or 8 hours?”

“Uh-uh. Let’s not bother checking such useless things.”

“You stayed up all night.”

“Shhh.”

“No wonder you didn’t wake up until I went out.”

He was trying to uncover information he didn’t need to know. Anyway, after that, I was able to progress more easily with hyung’s advice.

“Is it better to raise the stats first? It’s really frustrating when you run out of stamina while climbing.”

“It’s all a matter of preference. If that bothers you, raise that first.”

“Is there anything you can’t catch because of this?”

“Almost nothing. You can catch it using control or terrain, no matter how you raise it.”

“Oh~”

However, hyung didn’t spoil any of the story or reveal any gimmicks that could be solved with a little thought. He just gave me some minor tips.

As expected of a gamer who surpasses our brothers, he knew exactly what to tell me and what would make it boring.

And.

It was so amazing and unbelievable. We were chatting, and it felt like only a moment.

Time had flown by again without me doing anything special.

-Drrrrr!

My smartphone was already ringing, indicating that two hours had passed. I was very disappointed, but I had to suppress it for tomorrow. I had been feeling tired and sluggish all day today.

In the end, I parked my character in a safe zone and saved the game, but Heeseong hyung stopped me.

“Hey, are you going to sleep? Are you sleepy?”

“I should go to bed soon. I stayed up all night on Friday, so I was exhausted all day yesterday.”

“It’s Sunday, what does it matter? You can just wake up late today too.”

Those words were like the devil’s temptation, but I couldn’t give in. I thought of Heena and Sarang, who were waiting for me to wake up yesterday.

“No way. I’m supposed to have lunch with Heena and go shopping, and I have to play with Sarang…”

“Who said anything about staying up all night? If you play until 4 a.m., that’s perfect. You can sleep for about 6 hours and wake up at 10 a.m., then wash up, eat, and go out.”

“…But Heena…”

“You’re with Lee Heena all day anyway, so what’s wrong with sleeping in a little on the weekend? It’s only an hour or two less of playing in the morning, is that a problem? Han Sarang is still drowsy until 10 a.m. anyway.”

“Hmm…”

“It’s okay. You’re going to wake up at 7 or 8 a.m. anyway, right? So there’s not much difference between waking up then and waking up at 10 a.m.”

Hyung’s sweet whispers were gradually consuming me. I was starting to think that it wouldn’t be so bad. Wouldn’t it be okay to play the game for two more hours? There wouldn’t be much difference between waking up at 8 a.m. and waking up at 10 a.m., as hyung said.

Since I have to go to work on weekdays, I won’t be able to sleep this late, so I can indulge a little on the weekends.

As I became speechless due to a serious internal conflict, Heeseong hyung picked up the game console that I had put down for a moment and pushed it back to me.

“Hey, let’s play a little more. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, so it’s fun.”

“This is really not right…”

“Ha, you’re so frustrating. What do you mean it’s not right! You snuck out anyway, didn’t you?”

“Ahem…”

When you put it that way, it sounds like I’m doing something wrong.

But I did sneak out!

“Then if you sleep in tomorrow, she’ll just think you were tired. What kind of weird suspicion would she have? She might even treat you better because you look tired.”

“Heena always treats me well.”

“No, I’m not trying to listen to your lovey-dovey stuff… Anyway. You want to play more too, don’t you?”

“Sigh, I do, but…”

“Is it that fun?”

“It’s so much fun. Maybe it’s because it’s been a while. But the game is well made…”

“Hmm~ is that so?”

“……”

Heeseong hyung was persuading me, and I was deep in thought.

A voice other than ours suddenly cut in. At the same time, my heart sank. When Heeseong hyung was joking earlier, it was nothing, but now it was serious.

I didn’t even have the courage to turn around. Heeseong hyung was the same, and we couldn’t move while looking at each other.

How long had she been listening? What did I say while talking to hyung? Is that calm voice now because she doesn’t suspect anything, or is it the calm before the storm?

A moment of silence fell on the spot.

Me and Heeseong hyung. And my wife, Heena, who must be standing behind us.

“……”

All three of us were silent. How long did we stay like that? It felt like 1 minute, or maybe 1 hour. Cold sweat was running down my back, and time seemed to have stopped.

Then, Heeseong hyung slowly got up first. And without looking at Heena, he turned around and went back to his room. As if nothing had happened.

Of course, Heena’s words immediately followed.

“Oppa [term used by women to address older brothers or male friends], we’ll talk tomorrow.”

“Haa……”

At that cold voice that seemed to freeze, hyung sighed deeply and lowered his head. After hyung went into his room, I slowly turned my head as well.

I can’t stay here like this forever. Besides, I didn’t do anything that wrong—

“I was wrong. I’m sorry, Heena.”

I didn’t think I had done anything terribly wrong, but when I saw Heena’s eyes burning, I didn’t feel like making any clumsy excuses.

And to my apology, Heena opened her mouth in a low voice.

“Honey.”

“…Yeah.”

“I can understand playing games a little at night. Because you don’t have time to do it alone during the day.”

“……”

She started talking gently, but I could feel that she wasn’t just going to let it go.

“But.”

As expected, Heena’s words continued right away. As if the main point was from now on.

“You didn’t sleep with me yesterday because of the game. And today, you disappeared from the bed without telling me.”

“Th, that’s… I’m sorry…”

“I knew you were leaving since you went out. I was watching you the whole time.”

Oh my god.

I thought you had fallen asleep before I came out, so I tried calling you, but you didn’t answer on purpose? Besides, you’ve been watching me for over two hours since then?

The cold sweat flowing from my back became even thicker. I was scared of my wife’s meticulousness, who noticed my movements and pretended to be asleep.

What were you thinking while quietly watching me playing games with glee?

“I like that you’re having fun. That’s why I bought it for you. But is the game more important than me?”

“Of course not.”

“Why didn’t you say anything to me? Were you afraid I wouldn’t let you?”

“That’s not it…”

“Then why?”

I wonder why? If I had just told Heena honestly and slept only an hour later, it would have been okay…

Ah. I see.

I wanted to play for more than an hour, and I snuck out because I wasn’t confident that I could keep Heena’s request not to play too late. Honestly, even just now, if Heena hadn’t come, I would have continued playing the game with hyung.

I just thought she might be worried about me playing games late at night, but Heena wasn’t that inflexible. I definitely knew that.

When I realized the reason for my actions, I had nothing more to say. And Heena seemed to know the reason too.

“You were planning to play until late, weren’t you?”

“Yeah…”

“That’s why you came out secretly after hugging me.”

“……”

“You stayed up all night the day before yesterday and woke up late.”

“That’s right…”

“I told you so much not to play late, thinking about your body.”

Yeah. What excuses can I make here? It wasn’t wrong to play games, but it was definitely wrong to sneak out without telling Heena and stay up all night.

“I’m sorry…”

Thanks to that, I had nothing else to say. And looking down at me, Heena pointed to the game console on the table.

It was as if she wanted to break it right away, but I believed she wouldn’t.

“Honey. Keep in mind. From now on, you can only play games for one hour a day.”

“Yes…”

“I won’t include the ones we do while exercising together and Sarang’s cat game. But when you do it at bedtime, it’s only for one hour.”

“Okay.”

Still, I could feel Heena’s kind heart in that she didn’t stop me from playing at all.

But it wasn’t the end there. Heena sat on the sofa and got close to me. As if she was going to kiss me, she came so close and continued to talk.

“And I’ll be with you when you play games. I’ll just be hugging you, so I won’t bother you.”

“Okay.”

“Good. Let’s go back to the room first. Did you turn off the game?”

“I saved it, so I just have to put it away.”

“Then come here quickly.”

I don’t know what she’s thinking, but Heena leads me straight to the room. I felt relieved that the situation seemed to be settled, so I put the game console next to the TV and followed her.

As soon as we returned to the room, Heena lay down on the bed first and called me over with a gesture. I thought she was just going to sleep, so I lay down next to her without thinking, and Heena immediately climbed on top of me.

At the same time, she kissed me aggressively.

-Chu! Chu!

“Slurp… Ugh, chup…”

Then, she grabbed my arm and put it on her body. From there, I could tell what Heena wanted now. But isn’t it a bit dangerous to do this here with Sarang next to us?

I wanted to stop Heena because the place and situation weren’t good, but she didn’t give me time to say anything and put her lips on mine.

After kissing countless times for a while, I was finally able to open my mouth.

“Oop… Hee, Heena. Sarang is sleeping next to us…”

“Yeah. So please be quiet and adore me.”

“I can’t be quiet.”

“I’ll hold back the sound, so hurry~ huh?”

“Hoo… Okay.”

I couldn’t help but give in when she said that. I had done something wrong too. In the end, I stroked Heena’s whole body from then on and continued the deep skinship until just before the main event.

On Heena’s lips, neck, collarbone, and even the parts below. Kissing and gently touching.

“Haa, haa… further inside…”

Even though I was clearly touching her right now, it felt like Heena was devouring me.

After stroking Heena’s soft body for a long time, Heena looked at me with heat in her eyes and said when we were resting a little.

“Honey. Isn’t it much more fun to adore me than to play games?”

“Of course.”

“Right? Then you can stay up all night adoring me, just like you stayed up all night playing games, right?”

“…Of course.”

“Good. I’m going to test that out today. Keep going, honey.”

“But isn’t staying up all night bad for your health?”

“One day is okay. Or is it hard? You stayed up well when you were playing games, right?”

“No, no. I’ll do it.”

“Please~”

I realized while talking. That staying up all night to play games was more of a problem than playing games secretly.

If I hadn’t been caught staying up all night, Heena wouldn’t have reacted this much. Was it the part where I gave up sleeping with her to play games that stimulated Heena’s jealousy?

And Heena’s declaration wasn’t just words, we really caressed each other until the moment the sun came up.

After that, we fell asleep side by side as if we had fainted.

“Daddy… Mommy…”

“Yeah… Sarang… Daddy will wake up…”

“Mommy too…”

In the end, I couldn’t sleep for even three hours, and I had no choice but to get up at Sarang’s whining, who woke up before us.

And with a body that was even more tired than yesterday, I was able to engrave the lesson that I should never stay up all night deep in my bones. Was Heena thinking about even this last night?

“…Hehehe…”

Looking at the smile that was slowly leaking out of her tired-looking face, I don’t think she thought that deeply.

Ha.

Let’s play games moderately and little by little in the future…
