My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 169

Ep. 168

Of course, she had always asked for my opinion whenever we went shopping for clothes, but today it was more obvious. It felt like when we were buying underwear before our first time, a little nerve-wracking.

She seemed to be gauging my reactions and watching my gaze more intently.

“It’s pretty… but isn’t it a bit too revealing…?”

What made me even more flustered was that it was the sexiest thing Heena had ever picked out. It was a skimpy black bikini with straps crisscrossing in several places, and the fabric barely covered anything.

Heena has a fantastic figure, so she would look stunning in it, but I was worried it would attract too much attention from other men.

It wouldn’t be a good influence on Sarang either. Fortunately, Sarang seemed too busy looking around to notice anything right now.

As if sensing my apprehension, Heena smiled and added,

“I’ll wear the robe cardigan we wore to the beach last year. I’ll only show *you* this by itself.”

“In that case…”

If it was just for my eyes, there was no reason to object. And now that I thought about it, that robe cardigan was also black, so when worn over the bikini, it would cover most of the swimsuit and her skin.

After that, we looked at a few more swimsuits, but ultimately, we decided on the first one she picked out. It was the sexiest… I mean, it was also the prettiest in my eyes. Maybe Heena had picked up on my preference and deliberately chose it.

But that wasn’t all we bought. We hadn’t just come to buy Heena’s things in the first place; we were also going to buy swimsuits for me and Sarang. While browsing, we stumbled upon swimsuits that came in a family set.

As soon as she saw it, Heena made a beeline for it, as if drawn by a magnet.

“Honey, isn’t this just the cutest thing?”

“It is. Should we see how it looks on Sarang?”

It was a matching set in white and black, featuring a diagonal stripe pattern. The men’s version was nothing particularly special, but the women’s and children’s versions were adorable short one-piece suits.

If the three of us wore them, anyone could tell we were a family. Heena, who loves matching outfits like this, was instantly smitten.

Until last year, Sarang was too young and small to find things like this in a set with a child’s size, but now Sarang has grown up quite a bit.

Heena, after checking the material by touching it for a moment, immediately took Sarang to the fitting room.

-Swish!

A moment later, Sarang emerged wearing the swimsuit, and as expected, she looked absolutely adorable. The thin fabric, like a pareo [a wrap-around skirt], covered her shoulders nicely, and everything except her arms and legs was covered, so there seemed to be no need to worry about her getting cold.

“Doesn’t it look good on her?”

“Wow, it’s perfect for Sarang, isn’t it?”

“Daddy! Is Sarang going to the beach?”

“Not the beach, we’re going to the swimming pool.”

“Swimming pool?”

Sarang tilted her head, looking puzzled. That gesture was so cute it felt like my heart would burst. I guess she wouldn’t know since we’ve never taken her to the swimming pool because it’s usually too crowded. We went to the beach last year and the year before.

Anyway, Heena tried it on after seeing how good it looked on Sarang, and she seemed to like it quite a bit. I didn’t care if it looked good on me as long as it looked good on the two of them. It didn’t matter as long as the waist fit.

In the end, we ended up buying that swimsuit set without much hesitation. Maybe she’ll only show me the bikini I bought earlier in the hotel room, and she won’t wear this swimsuit when we actually go to the pool. Heena likes to show off to others that we are a couple or a family.

Thanks to finding things she liked quickly, shopping ended earlier than expected. Since we were going on a staycation [a vacation spent at home or nearby], there wasn’t much else to buy besides swimsuits.

“Sarang, should we stop by the cat cafe?”

“Meow! I want to see the meows!”

“I wonder if they’re still open?”

“I asked them last time and they said they’re open until 10 o’clock. Oh, but you’re wearing a suit.”

“I was going to get this dry cleaned anyway, so it’s okay. Unless I hug them, not much fur will get on it.”

So, I stopped by the cat cafe with Sarang for the first time in a while. Since the purpose of my trip this time was to spend more time with Sarang, I wanted to start right away.

“Hello, meow! Happy! There’s Happy, Daddy!”

“You have to say hello to Happy.”

“Happy, hello! Sarang came again!”

The cat cafe we visited was a place we frequented from time to time, so Sarang even remembered the names of a few cats.

While watching Sarang stroking the nearby cats with a happy face, I once again mulled over the plans for the remaining trip.

Somehow, my heart fluttered. It was the first time the three of us were going on a trip far enough to leave the neighborhood.

And since Heena and Sarang are together, it will definitely be fun.

I was so looking forward to the trip.

—

A few days later, on the day of the trip.

Like a child before a picnic, I couldn’t control my excitement and woke up early in the morning. Heena was the same; she woke up not long after I did.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she looked at me and gave me a sweet eye smile.

“Honey, should we just get ready quickly? We can take our time, though.”

“Shall we? We can spend some time at the rest stops on the way.”

“Yeah!”

The hotel check-in time was 3 o’clock, so it didn’t matter if we left a little late, but since it was a trip just for the three of us, it felt like a waste to spend time idly at home.

We immediately got out of bed and washed up. We had already packed all our luggage yesterday, but there wasn’t really much to pack. Frankly, we could have gone and come back with just our wallets.

The contents of the bag were just swimsuits and clothes to change into. I think this is the biggest advantage of a staycation. We didn’t need a lot of luggage because we were just going to relax at the hotel.

Still, after washing up, I checked one more time, and then immediately woke up Sarang.

“Sarang~ you have to wake up?”

“Umm… Daddy… Sarang is sleeping…”

“Can our Sarang cheer up a little and sleep in the car? You have to go play with Mommy and Daddy?”

“Sarang too… wants to go…”

“Okay~ let’s go together~”

As expected, she couldn’t wake up properly because she wasn’t fully awake. But since we had to spend a long time in the car anyway, we could just let her sleep in the car, so I immediately washed Sarang and dressed her.

Our family members were watching us moving busily like that with pitiful eyes.

“I can drive well…”

“I can take good care of Sarang~”

“Have a good trip. Drive carefully.”

Heeseong hyung [older brother/male friend] and my mother-in-law couldn’t hide their concern, but my father-in-law gave me words of encouragement while looking at me with slightly regretful eyes.

But we were too excited right now to pay attention to those reactions one by one.

“Yes, I’ll be careful! Then I’ll be back!”

“We’ll be back!”

So, after smiling brightly and saying goodbye, we immediately left the house. Every minute and every second was precious. I went straight down to the parking lot, Heena took the wheel, and I put Sarang in the back seat.

A junior car seat was even installed on the seat. Last year, Heena strongly insisted on it for Sarang’s safety, and all the family members agreed and ordered it in a flash.

Even not only in this car, but also in my dad’s car. They installed the same model so that they could put Sarang in it at any time.

I adjusted the seat angle so that Sarang could sleep comfortably, fastened her seat belt, and sat in the passenger seat.

“How’s Sarang? Is she sleeping well?”

“She’s sleeping soundly. Every time I see it, I feel like I bought that seat really well. It must be very comfortable to hold her head so that it doesn’t move.”

“Right? And how safe it is~”

“It seems so. We didn’t forget anything, did we?”

“What if we forgot! We can buy it there! Then I’ll leave~”

“Okay! Let’s go!”

-Vroom!

With those words, Heena started the engine and the car moved, and finally our trip began.

We passed through the familiar neighborhood, passed through the city where people were a little congested on their way to work, and were able to enter the highway in an instant.

In fact, it shouldn’t have been easy to get here, but the timing of the road being empty was very good today.

As if blessing our trip. Of course, it will inevitably be a bit congested from here on out.

Ignoring the cool, open scenery around me as I got a little out of Seoul, I looked at Heena, who was holding the steering wheel with a happy face.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because it’s cool that you drive so well.”

“What is it~”

Heena smiled shyly at my compliment. Is it because a beautiful woman is holding the steering wheel? As expected of Heena, who is good at everything, she looked very cool as she drove leisurely even though she doesn’t drive often.

At the same time, she was so cute when she was shy that I wanted to tell her more, but I changed the subject because it seemed like it would interfere with her driving.

“Is the closest rest stop Gapyeong? Will it take about 30 more minutes from now?”

“Maybe because it’s not as congested as I thought?”

“Sarang will wake up around the time we get there, right?”

“Even if she doesn’t wake up, we have to wake her up. You and Sarang both love rest stop food so much~”

“No, honestly, you have to eat that…”

It’s a sin not to eat that when you stop by a rest stop. Especially udon [thick wheat flour noodle] is seriously delicious.

Moreover, we left earlier than expected and didn’t eat breakfast, so we had to eat at the rest stop. So, while recalling various things and smacking my lips, the highway traffic jam started as expected.

I glanced at the navigation and it was orange. But if you look at the green color that follows, it will probably be clear again soon.

And that short time when the car stopped for a moment. Heena immediately turned her head and opened her mouth.

“Honey, I’m tired from driving~”

“Should I give you a massage?”

“No. Not that.”

-Tap tap

She refused the massage and tapped her lips with her finger. At that nostalgic gesture that I hadn’t seen recently, I let out a small laugh and approached her.

-Kiss!

When I kissed her briefly and took my lips off, Heena opened her mouth as if it wasn’t enough.

“One time only charges half!”

“Really? You always have to charge it fully.”

“Of course~”

-Kiss!

Full charge with two kisses. The fuel efficiency is no joke.
